The big 5 continue to be the big 5. Baez is on track for a 200+ hits, 100+ RBI, and 30+ HR year. Between Bryant's turn around in hitting and Rizzo missing games, Bryant has climbed to second. In fact, Bryant has made a big come back and may be able to save his year. Schwarber continues to struggle overall, while Almora has found his way out of his slump. With Zorbist missing so much time, and Russell coming in after missing so much time; I expect the two to switch places in a couple weeks. I also expect Darvish to fall back into last.

Here are the Cubs' stats 21 games in:
