Chicago Cubs: Dillon Maples will have a chance to prove himself this year

It’s no secret. The Chicago Cubs are rolling the dice with the bullpen this season. After Theo Epstein spent the offseason bargain shopping and focusing on buy-low names, first-year manager David Ross certainly isn’t swimming in arms that inspire a ton of confidence on a daily basis.

With all that in mind, this group certainly has the potential to be solid. There are a lot of high-upside guys and others who have tantalizingly strong stuff. One member of both of those groups is right-hander Dillon Maples.

Maples, 27, has long been one of the guys fans desperately want to see put it all together.
