How much outfield depth do the Cubs need?

I suppose if Dex and Heyward and Soler and Matt Szczur all get hurt...

QuoteVictorino, 35, has a lifetime .275 major league batting average in 10 seasons. Victorino batted .294 in 122 games for the 2013 Boston Red Sox team that won the World Series.

Or 12. But who's counting?

So much to love about this team.

Terms of Fowler deal: $8 million base for 2016, $9 million mutual option for 2017, $5 million buy-out

That's a steal.  I find it hard to believe that Baltimore didn't offer him more than that.

October 2014: Cubs swoop in and "steal" Joe Maddon out from under the Rays.
October 2015: Cubs swoop in and sign Eddy Julio Martinez after he had supposedly reached agreement with the Giants
February 2016: Cubs sign Dexter Fowler after he had supposedly reached agreement with the Orioles.  

Theo's not making a lot of friends these days.  

You forgot J-Hey, dude.

February 2012: Theo trades an injured Chris Carpenter to the Red Sox for himself.
Loor and I came acrossks like opatoets.

For Apex's sake I'm going to bump this in honor of Olt being DFA'd by the White Sox, meaning that in the last 8 months he's been cut by both Chicago teams to make room for Austin Jackson.
