With such a rich and lengthy history, the Cubs have seen roughly 2,000 players don the Cubbie blue over the years.
Because of that, I thought it would be fun to name who I feel are the top five players for all 26 letters of the alphabet, going by last name.
To qualify, the player needs only to have played at least one game for the Cubs. However, only stats and accomplishments that took place while the player was with the Cubs will be considered.
Because of that, you will not find someone like Joe Carter on the following list, despite the fact ...

With Opening Day upon us, I decided to take a look around the league to see how many former Cubs will be suiting up elsewhere when the 2010 seasons starts.
I only included players who saw major league action with the Cubs and only players who are on big league rosters to open this season.
While the list is mostly made up of utility players and relievers, there are a handful of players I would not mind seeing in Cubs uniform once again, namely Michael Wuertz, Scott Downs, Jake Fox and Mark DeRosa.
So on that, here are the former Cubs that will ...
With so much talk in Cubs' camp this spring training surrounding top prospect Starlin Castro, I decided to take a look back at some of the top rookie performances in team history.
I went back as far as 1947, which was the first year that the Rookie of the Year Award was handed out. I only looked at the stats that the player posted during their rookie season when ranking them. Therefore, this may be the only list you will ever see Jerome Walton ahead of Ernie Banks.
With so much history, it is always possible that someone was over looked, and ...
There is no team in all of pro sports that shares the heart wrenchingly disappointing history that the Chicago Cubs possess. As everyone who has ever watched a baseball game is aware, the Cubs are 101 years removed from their last World Series title, and have not even played in the Fall Classic in 54 years.
What follows is my take on the ten worst moments in the history of the team that seems to be perennially "waiting til next year". While it is hard to compare what is worse when it comes to something such as trading away a future ...
While the signings of guys such as Alfonso Soriano and Milton Bradley are in the forefront of Cubs fan's minds, there have still been a number of great moves made by the front office throughout the years. This article will look at the ten best free agent signings in team history.
First, a few ground rules. I have only included signings made from the beginning of free agency in 1975 on, since prior to that the only free agent signings were ametuer free agents, as the draft did not exist yet. Thus, everyone was a free agent to start their careers.
Also, ...
With the announcement that Angel Guzman is most likely out for the season, there is now a big hole at the back end of the bullpen, as well as another open roster spot when camp opens.
The Cubs will be counting on a young and relatively unproven group to bridge the gap between the starters and Carlos Marmol this season, and someone will need to step up as the right handed set up man alongside lefty John Grabow for this bullpen to be a successful one.
The Cubs will more than likely carry 12 pitchers out of camp, and Carlos Zambrano, ...
As the season approaches, and players from the NL Central Division get a chance to escape the never ending winter of the midwest for the sunny days of Spring Training, the season is now just around the corner.
I decided to take a look at the rosters of the Central's six teams, and rank who I feel are the top 20 players in the division right now.
I say right now, because someone like Colby Rasmus will not be found on my list. While he is potentially one of the most talented players in the division, he is not quite there yet.
I ...
Spring Training is literally a day away, so what better time than now to make some bold predictions about the 2010 season for the Chicago Cubs.
The signing of Matt Holliday by the St. Louis Cardinals made them the overwhelming favorites to win the NL Central and they might be the team to beat in the National League. However, the Cubs made several moves as well, and look to be a better team than they were last season. How much better remains to be seen.
What follows are 10 predictions that I would say fall into the category of bold. I have ...
