The Cubs 14 games into the season.

Trying to keep my word, here is what the Cubs look like at 14 games into the season, and it is not good. Below are the fielding players sorted hits.
Team Leader
Second best on team

Player          Pos   G   AB   R    H  2B   HR  RBI   BB   SO    AVG    OBP

Heyward, J      RF   12   40  12   15   1    4   10    8    4   .375   .460

Zobrist, B      2B   12   39   5   12   0    0    4    9    5   .308   .438
Almora Jr., A   CF   14   41   4   10   0    0    4    2    9   .244   .279
Rizzo, A        1B   14   52  12   10   1    3   10   10   13   .192   .344
Schwarber, K    LF   14   52   7   10   1    3    6    5   17   .192   .263
Caratini, V     C     6   14   4    8   3    1    5    3    4   .571   .647
Bote, D         3B   13   26   4    7   2    1    4    3    6   .269   .367
Zagunis, M      RF   10   20   1    7   3    0    4    0    7   .350   .350

The Cubs are out hitting the Reds and Pirates while the Brewers and Cardinals are out hitting the Cubs. Baez is the only player hitting over 15 hits. Rizzo and Bryant are not the most reliable players. Baez, Heyward, and Contreras are the heavy hitters. Pitching is getting much better, but still not on top of their game as a whole. The Cubs will not remain on the bottom, but it is hard to see them on the top of the National Central.

I'm going to look again at game 21. If the Cubs don't find .430 by then, the season might be over for them.
