Outside the Cubs Boxcar plays chicken, part 4

Here’s the current roster in this projection, based on the three previous installments (part 1, part 2, part 3). In this scenario, Jake Arrieta and Wade Davis have both re-signed, at 5/150 and 4/62 respectively, and Alex Cobb has been signed on the pitching front, and Arismendy Alcantara and Alexi Amarista have been signed as infield insurance.

In the event that reality intrudes, things can and will change.

Alcantara and Amarista have only been extended minor-league invites at this point, so there’s a little flexibility (they have 40-man numbers for neatness’ sake). We’re going to do the alpha sequence G, H, I and look at the outfield picture a bit today, with the J/K sequence coming later…
