Everyone is obviously, picking the Cubs to win this division, but I thought I would compare our players with the cubs players at each position. I really don't know how to adequately compare them, so I'm going to use an arbitrary 1-5 number system. Maybe I'll get crazy and throw some decimals in there. Consider this an overall grade, with an obvious bias towards offense. My numbers equate to 2.5=average  3+=very good  4+=All Star  5=Hall of Fame

Soto      2.6

Mota                  2.9
Lieber                2.5

Shouse               3.1
Hart                    2.6

Torres                3.5
Wuertz               3.7

That's what I've come up with. I really tried to be as objective as possible, but my Cubs hatred runs pretty deep.

Here are the final tallies:
Brewers:  63.5
Cubs:       63.5

I really did not mean for the numbers to be exact, but I guess that shows what kind of season we have in front of us.

Feel free to agree or rip apart any of these rankings.
