Spring Training Wishes: Fewer Walks from Maples, Orgy of Bunts from Schwarber and Heyward

Baseball is back! Spring training is upon us and Cubs pitchers and catchers have reported to Arizona. I will be joining them in Arizona for the first time this year since my wife gifted me the trip for my 41st birthday.

As you can imagine, I am quite excited to see Sloan Park and another season of Cubs baseball. I also hope to see signs of progress from a few key players. In particular, I would love to see Dillon Maples painting corners, along with an orgy of bunts from Kyle Schwarber and Jason Heyward.

We all know the Cubs could really use another elite bullpen arm, and Maples is one in-house candidate.
