OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

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

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.

If Edwin Jackson starts 33 games for the Cubs this season then I'll just assume at least 3 other guys died.
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

So, trade him to the Cardinals.

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?
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

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.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015
