Their pitching is still a decently sized question mark
Not really.
They have a top 10 bullpen in baseball and added Jason Motte to the mix. The Cubs have been incredible with turning pitcher's careers around under Chris Bosio. Without Jason Motte, the Cubs still have a top 10 bullpen.
They added Jon Lester and Jason Hammel to go along with Jake Arrieta. That is a pretty damn strong 1-2-3 punch.
Kyle Hendricks won more than half of his starts last season. Travis Wood had a rough year last year, but was very good the year before, especially if you are only counting him as the 4-5 pitcher.
Pitching isn't what I would consider a "decent sized question mark". If they had another SP at the level of Arrieta, they would have an incredible pitching staff.

Hamel is a mediocre pitcher who had a career year last year (as did numerous other Cubs) until he got to Oakland. Cubs gain Lester but lose Shark who they had for several months. The cubs certainly have the most media hyped manager. They are counting on many young unproven players whom the hype machine has convinced people that all will be all stars. Maybe 81-81
