Baseball is a tricky game. One week you can be the hottest hitter in the league, and next week you could be in the middle of a horrible slump. For some players, that cold spell could last for an entire season.

For these five Chicago Cubs players, a big season in 2017 will be exactly what they need to get their careers back on track, or to kick their careers off altogether.

Whether it’s rebounding from a devastating injury, or trying to find yourself after a down year at the dish, the following players need to have a good season, not only for their personal success, but for the success of the entire team.

Without further ado, let’s dive into the five Cubs players who are in need of a big season in 2017.
