Have you ever had a really good idea, either an aha! moment or something you worked hard to develop, only to find that someone else had already done it better? I specifically avoid going to Twitter or reading other Cubs and MLB sites prior to writing for fear of dashing my hopes or because I don’t want to allow outside influences to color my own opinions.
When it comes to the 60-man roster the Cubs have to set by 3pm ET Sunday, however, there’s not exactly a ton of wiggle room. That said, I have to tip my cap to Bryan Smith of Bleacher Nation for putting out a comprehensive breakdown of the 60 players he believes should be named to the initial MLB and taxi squad rosters.
