The Cubs have won the NL Central the past two years and are only getting better. The addition of Milton Bradley to the middle of the lineup will be huge, as it gives the Cubs the left-handed bat that they need. The Cubs have been devastated in the playoffs the past two years and should be able to use that disappointment to come back stronger this year.
