I have to agree with Crockpot
I thought the Cubs off-season moves were pretty decent
I think their problems stem from injuries (kind of expected some, but this has been overkill so far) and being the most impatient team at the plate that I watch on a consistent basis. Dusty's hitting philosophy that he stresses to his players = teh suck.

Duhsty and his staff are the worst hitting coaches ever. It's almost like they've made some declaration that anyone that works the count gets fined. And this isn't the first year for that, it's every year.
Also, they pretty much rested everything on Lee carrying the offense, and they probably expected 20-25 HRs each from Murton and Jones which isn't gonna happen.

Jones already has 11 I think, so 30 isn't out of the question. Murton's power will take a year or two to develop imo.
