Cubs ready for first Spring Training 2010 game

Submitted by Cliff on Thursday, 4 March 2010 No Comment

Cubs 2010 Spring TrainingHey Cubs fans, it’s been quite a while since I have wrote on the blog and I do apologize for that. I took a full time job away from the house so that has kept me pretty busy. Working 16 hour days between two companies just hasn’t left much time for the blog. That is until today :)

The Cubs will kick off their 2010 Spring Training games this afternoon against the Oakland Athletics. No matter how the game goes this afternoon, there are questions that the Cubs and management will need to address before the season starts. To me, these are the keys of the 2010 Cubs season.

  1. Will Carlos Zambrano win 15 games this season?
  2. Will Ted Lilly recover from his injuries?
  3. Will Alfonso Soriano finally play in 150 games in one season for the Cubs?
  4. Is Aramis Ramirez’s shoulder 100% and can he stay off of the disabled list?
  5. Can Derrek Lee stay healthy?
  6. Who will win the second base job? Mike Fontenot or Jeff Baker?

One thing if for certain. Anything that new center fielder Marlon Byrd does will be an improvement over Milton Bradley did in 2009. Having Byrd in center will also allow Kosuke Fukudome to move back to his natural right field position.

Let’s set back and see how some of these spring training games go and hope that the team stays injury free. Staying injury free and getting Ted Lilly back will be the keys to the Cubs starting off the season on the right in my mind. Let’s just hope that it happens.
