Grading the Chicago Cubs at the Break

As the Cubs finish the first half of the season (figuratively) with a Sunday double header against the Cardinals, it's time for fans to pause, take a deep breath and look forward.

Part of that pause is looking at where the team has been, though. Though the Cubs have played more than half of their games, the All Star Break is the time to evaluate the team, the division, and the season.

How have the veterans done so far? What kids have contributed? What options are there for changes? Are changes needed?

Let's take a look at the Cubs of 2009, and how they've done.

*NOTE: this is written in between games of the Sunday double dip, so Randy Wells final start of the half won't be reflected in the analysis.
