Zagunis makes his final case
Mark Zagunis had one hell of a spring. On Tuesday night, he went 2-for-3 with a triple and two RBI. He finished the spring hitting .370 and that performance has landed him on the opening day roster.
#Cubs Maddon on OF Mark Zagunis: "What I've explained to him is, 'You had the camp that everybody told us you're capable of.'" Zagunis has shown good power, accepted his walks and has been a good baserunner

Almora's final tuneup
Almora is the other outfielder that had a fine spring in a preseason where he wanted to prove he could be the every day starter. Hitting right handers has always been his issue, but skipper Joe Maddon has said the centerfielder has made the adjustments necessary to get a shot at starting every day.
Joe Maddon said Albert Almora has made some adjustments against RHP and could get more playing time as a starter .

Descalso concludes awful spring
No, Spring Training stats don't mean anything. Still, one of the newest Cubs had just a horrendous first Spring Training with the club. After going 0-for-2 on Tuesday night, Daniel Descalso finished the preseason hitting .105. That's hardly a way to introduce yourself to a fan base that isn't exactly excited you were the "big" free agent signing of the offseason.
The most interesting guy on the Cubs roster for April is David Bote. Ben Zobrist needs to get PAs. Joe Maddon loves Daniel Descalso. Will Bote get enough PT to potentially earn the bulk of the job, even after Russell returns?
