Cubs Offseason 2014: So, what did your team do this offseason? Isn't that cute.

[Saul Goodman]

Someone should tell PECOTA that Edwin Jackson will not be in the rotation.

[Quality Start Machine]

168 PA's for Denorfia?  Seems low. 

199 for Bryant seems to be off by about 300.

195 for Olt seems about right, except almost all of them will be somewhere other than Chicago.

[CBStew]

I HATE THE OFFSEASON.   PLAY BALL ALREADY!

Someone should tell PECOTA that Edwin Jackson will not be in the rotation.

If Edwin Jackson starts 33 games for the Cubs this season then I'll just assume at least 3 other guys died.

So, trade him to the Cardinals.

SO MUCH THI

168 PA's for Denorfia?  Seems low. 

199 for Bryant seems to be off by about 300.

Isn't PECOTA usually regarded as the most conservative of the big projection systems? If so this isn't surprising, and fairly comforting that they still think the Cubs are apparently a playoff team in the NL.

Even with leaning on Coghlan a little too much, EJax' 50 Starts, and not having Bryant contribute much they have them with a winning record, so yay? 

Where the fuck's Eli to tell me how to feel about this?

Hi. I'm here. Feel good about this.

Goodbye.

Bleacher Report predicts Opening Day rosters for all teams.

Link directly to the Cubs.

No huge surprises. Bryant not on the Opening Day roster, as widely discussed.
Also no Welington Castillo, with the assumption that he'll still get traded. 

Baez is predicted to make the Opening Day roster here.

Their NBA coverage is quite adequate.

They've actually added a lot of good writers recently. Just hard to know going in if you're getting one of them or a slideshow on the ten most elitest QBs evar.

My New Year's resolution is to ignore the Internet's insistence that I click on its list of "The 10 Best" anything.  Even if it is "The Ten Best Nude Scenes in Movies Since Day One."
