What will the Cubs' record be at the end of their first season with Craig Counsell as their manager?
Based on the performance of previous managers who took over to start a season, it will be.
No doubt about it: Players' salaries today are astronomical.

The Cubs own many National League all-time records, including most regular-season games played (22,093) and won (11,244), most runs scored (101,694) and most hits made (198,141).
They rank second.
