This Cubs roster has maybe a half-dozen guys capable of popping 20+ homers.
As Pat Hughes says, “this lineup has a lot of thunder in it.” Despite Chicago’s inconsistency in terms of run production, this Cubs team has plenty of power. Last season’s unusual 60-game season did not allow for any of these guys to hit their normal home run totals. This year they can play a normal season again and let the ball fly over 162 games.
In 2019 six different Cubs hit the 20+ home run mark, with two hitting 30+.
