And number two, the starting rotation should be...

Should be a strength of this team if people can stay healthy.

Of course, if you had gotten Zach Gallin, it really, really, really would be a strength of this team.

But Zach Gallin opting to stay with the Arizona Diamondbacks, signing a one-year deal, and the Cubs unable to get him in the fold.

Now, on to number three, and this one was intriguing to me.

Yeah, I was just looking for a different, fun one, maybe one people aren't necessarily thinking about.

Going back to Seiya Suzuki full-time in right field, I'm very interested.

Because last year, you could make the case the Cubs had the best defensive outfield in the big leagues with Ian Happ, Peker Armstrong, Kyle Tucker.

You remove Kyle Tucker from that equation, you reinsert Seiya Suzuki there.

there's still a very good outfield with PCA and Ian Happ.

And their infield is going to be great defensively with Alex Bregman, Danzy Swanson, Nico Horner, and Michael Bush.

But we've seen some things from Seiya Suzuki in the past in the outfield where you're like, man, this is probably a designated hitter.

But you brought to my attention...

Some of those numbers, and they are, there's a stark contrast.

Do you want to give them to the people?

There's a real reason why the idea of Seiya Suzuki playing right field versus just DH-ing is beneficial to himself and, by virtue of that, the Cubs.

Here are the numbers when Seiya Suzuki DH-ed in 102 games last year and had 444 plate appearances.

He had a .232 batting average, a .322 on base, and a .423 slug.

Now, that batting average is a little low.

He hit 16 home runs in those 444 at-bats, and the OPS was 745, which isn't terrible, but it's certainly not what you were paying for when you signed, say, a Suzuki to his five-year contract.
