Chicago Cubs

2012: 6th in NL Central (76-86)
A 13-game improvement and still a 6th place finish.  That is how tough the NL Central is and what the Cubs had to battle all season long.  Rookie of the year Mike Trout is the reason to watch the Cubs.  They also have other young stars and plenty of cash to infuse in other talent.  Watch out for the Cubs in the next couple years.

2011: 6th in NL Central (63-99)
The Cubs had one of the worst seasons in years, but it can be argued as one of their most successful.  In one season, former Angels GM Kdoc09 dealt away high priced veterans, acquired Strasburg, Chatwood and other young pitchers, and freed up over $95m in cap space for 2012.

2010: 5th in NL Central (80-82)
Many new faces were brought in by new Cubs GM, Mike Bridgestone.  It first appeared as if he was rebuilding the farm, but then he exchanged new prospects for more veterans.  By the time free agency came along, many of the expensive contracts inherited were gone, but key players acquired in such trades such as Jose Reyes, Brandon Phillips, and Chris Carpenter never stayed.  That was the price that had to be paid, but it enabled the Cubs to have a farm, compete with veterans, and spend in free agency come 2011.  The team finished just under 0.500 for what most would call a successful season for the Cubs.

Mike retired in the off-season due to time constraints and was immediately replaced by the one time Giants GM, Kris Doughery.  Kris' experience within the league should bode well for a team that is looking to add a few key pieces going into 2011.

2009: 5th in NL Central (73-89)
Tiny Tim did nothing to fix the hex that Jim Hendry put on the team with the overpaid veteran contracts.  Despite having an early lead in the standings, the team faltered just like the real life one did.
