This is the perfect Chicago Cubs Opening Day starting lineup

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to beautiful Wrigley Field, home of your Chicago Cubs” is a phrase that all Chicago Cubs fans were hoping to hear many times over the 2022 summer. That was not a guarantee thanks to the lockout that lasted a long time this winter.

Now, spring training is over and we are headed towards what promises to be a very good regular season for Major League Baseball. Opening Day is just a few days away and some very good times are ahead.

Speaking of Opening Day, the Chicago Cubs have theirs against the Milwaukee Brewers this weekend. For them, they come into the year hoping for it to go a bit differently than it did a year ago. The future direction of the franchise is unclear but 2022 could be a good year. There are going to be a lot of things to look out for.

They are certainly going to have a good pitching staff. The question will be about their offense and how they can get the most out of this group. They have made some additions and some subtractions along with the fact that there are more players to be signed when the lockout ends.

The Chicago Cubs could be better than people think during the 2022 season.

It could end up being a solid group for David Ross if his men can stay healthy and at the top of their game. There are many different options for different spots in the field and in the batting order. This is what the starting lineup would look like at its (realistic) best on Opening Day:
