Let's take a look at MLB service time (including 2015 and as of today) for last night's Cubbies lineup.
- Dexter Fowler: 7th season (13 games in 2008 with COL)
- Kyle Schwarber: 7 games, all in 2015
- Kris Bryant: 79 games, all in 2015
- Anthony Rizzo: 5th season (49 games with SD in '11, 87 with CHC in'12)
- Jorge Soler: 58 games in 2015, 24 games in 2014
- Chris Coghlan: 7th season (91 games or less 2010-2013)
- Starlin DeJesus Castro: 6th season
- Addison Russell: 72 games
Pretty impressive to roll out a line-up that features zero players with double digit MLB experience. Granted, it shows by the lack of patience at the plate and some of the boner plays made on defense, but imagine this team a year or two down the road. Sure, Coghlan and Fowler could be gone by then and maybe even Castro, but the ceiling is so high. Sooooo high.
