1) The Cubs have the most unbalanced schedule YTD regarding games played at home and away so far, at 9 more away games than home games. The Cubs have also played 3-4 less games so far this season than most teams. The Cubs are 15-14 at home. If the Cubs continue playing .500 ball at home, their record would be a lot more respectable when their Home / Away GP becomes 1:1.

2) Cubs CF and RF have combined to hit .217 with a .579 OPS. Outfield spots are supposed to produce a lot better than this, especially RF. This needs to be addressed next season, and it won't be with one of the higher prospects.

3) All of the Cubs offensive and pitching stats have stayed the same from month-to-month except for slugging, which has gone up in June (nicer weather helps. of course). This coincides with the Cubs performing a bit better in June, to the tune of an 8-6 record so far. The Mets and Marlins at Wrigley obviously helped that, but so did a series win in Philadelphia.

Could have (should have) been addressed this off season

I would imagine that Alcantara and Bryant will be starting in the OF next year. Baez at 3rd. Valbuena at 2nd.

Yeah, but after a few years, you have a potential outfield of Bryant, Almora and Soler.
