Pitchers on the present roster that are proven performers or have elicited positive comments from Maddon: Arrieta. Buchanan, Edwards, Grimm, Hendricks, Lackey, Lester, Montgomery, Patton, Pena, Rondon, Strop, and Zastryzny. 14.
Position players on the roster who have contributed to a championship: Contreras, Montero, Schwarber, Baez, Bryant, LaStella, Rizzo, Russell, Zobrist, Almora, Heyward, Soler and Szczur. 13.
The Cubs have the strength to stand pat and compete for a championship. Given Bosio's ability to resurrect careers and the depth of position players in the minors, I would not be surprised to see Cub management be conservatively selective in adding players this winter. One benefit of a strong farm system is the ability to wait and see what develops over the winter and spring training then make acquisitions accordingly.
