At the beginning of every Major League Baseball season, hope springs eternal. That is, of course, until the first couple weeks of games are played.
Once that grace period is up—a period that has been all too short for Cubs fans in recent years—it's interesting to take a less emotionally charged look at the team. After all, many players on teams will fall short of lofty expectations while others will put on performances that nobody saw coming.
