5 Reasons to Be Excited for the 2015 Cubs Season

Even though the 2015 Chicago Cubs baseball season is just a week away, the hot topic of discussion lately has not been the state of the team; rather, it has been the fate of the historic Wrigley Field.

Chairman Tom Ricketts has already announced that the ballpark will not be ready for Opening Day, and renovations could take an extra year to complete.

Look on the bright side, Cubs fans. Wouldn't you prefer an extra year of construction for the ballpark instead of the reconstruction of the team?

There are mixed expectations for the 2015 Cubs, though the reality is that the success of the team depends largely on the growth and performance of its youth. Players such as Javier Baez, Arismendy Alcantara and Kris Bryant will play a significant role in the Cubs' success (or lack thereof) this season. Even if the Cubs fall short of Anthony Rizzo's promised NL Central title, there's plenty to look forward to in 2015.

Here are five reasons to be excited for the 2015 Cubs season.
