Perhaps this is premature, and with the caveat that this is why the Cubs pay Jed Hoyer and Carter Hawkins and David Ross to think about this stuff while I’m just another keyboard warrior, but I think the Cubs have some, shall we say, roster inefficiencies that need to be taken care of.
For the most part, the bullpen is fine, but as AC and others would have you know, Michael Fulmer has not been filling us with confidence based on his recent performances, and for me personally, I’m a bit anxious whenever Brad Boxberger throws. I’m generally impressed with the other guys in the bullpen, particularly the long relief tandem of Adbert Alzolay and Keegan Thompson, but it’s probably getting to the point where they need to figure out what to do about Fulmer, whether it’s one of those phantom IL stints or just having him mop up until he figures it out.
