Don't forget Schwarber, maybe the best pure hitter of them all.

What's discouraging to me is the veterans on the team like Fowler, Castro, Montero and Coughlan are all hitting well below their career averages. Of that group only Coughlan has shown signs he might get to his career benchmark before season's end.

I was hoping those would even out, Rizzo would get back on track and we'd get enough of an occasional bump from the young talent to move the needle a bit offensively.

But I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that the Cubs just aren't going to rally offensively this year and we'll probably end up at about.500 which is about where I saw us to start the year.

But the future is very bright. Kind of reminds me of the young core the Astros brought up with Biggio, Bagwell, Caminiti and Luis Gonzales et al that struggled when young but eventually gave the Stros some very good years.

Schwarber 22

Forgot to include him on that list. That's why you play for the present without sacrificing the future.

What? Coghlan is hitting .257 and his career average is .271. He is above his career average in OBP and SLG and has already set a career high for a season in HRs and he is one off of his career high in SBs. And he isn't even playing LF full time. I'm not sure how anyone on the planet could be discouraged by Coghlans performance in 2015.
