Highlight Game July 5 1993 at Colorado

Billy Williams, Fergie Jenkins, Ryne Sandberg, Ernie Banks.The Chicago Cubs have had some of the all-time greats run out onto Wrigley Field.While they haven't been to the World Series since 1945, there is more than enough talent in the Cubs' history to fill out a dream team twice over. From Rogers Hornsby to Derrek Lee, the Cubs have had incredible depth and production throughout their lineup.One question remains. Which Chicago Cub had the greatest ever offensive season at his positionMajor League Baseball has been asking fans this question in an effort to choose each team's best ever collection of stars. In 136 starts, Wilkins batted .303, drew 50 walks, and crossed the plate 78 times.His .561 slugging percentage was good enough for fifth in the National League, while his 30 home runs earned him a spot in the Top 10.Incidentally, his slugging percentage ranks second all-time among Cubs catchers with at least 80 games played. Gabby Hartnett holds the record with .630, set in 1930.Highlight Game: July 5, 1993, at Colorado.

Wilkins went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in a 10-1 victory against the Rockies.Competition: The previously-mentioned Gabby Hartnett almost won my vote here Looking back over the numbers, maybe he should have I'm man enough to admit that. But I stand by my decision.Gabby Hartnett is one of the greatest catchers of all timea six-time All Star and NL MVP. Despite only playing in two-thirds of the Cubs' games in the 1935 season, Hartnett hit 13 home runs and drove in 91 runs. The 34-year-old's days as a true power hitter were gone though, and I would even argue that his 1930 season was the best of his career despite him never receiving even a glancing MVP look.I read somewhere that he is considered the best NL catcher from the first half of the 20thcentury, but that is not enough for a purely single-season-based look at offensive production.Playing in what is known as the 'live ball era', Hartnett benefited from a stacked Cubs' lineup.

The team won 100 gamessomething Chicago hasn't done in the 74 years sincewith Hartnett batting behind Billy Herman, who led the league in hits and doubles, and in front of the team's best power hitter, Chuck Klein. First Base: Derrek Lee (2005)D-Lee was good enough in 2005 to win the NL MVP, playing just as well as Albert Pujols, but he got snubbed in the voting.Luckily for the Cubs' first baseman, I'm going to show him some love here. Lee was just nasty in '05, leading the league with 50 doubles and 199 hits. The following inning, Lee took Joe Valentine deep for a three-run blast to tie the game at 7-7.Competition: Lee is an easy choice at first base. Fred McGriff hit 30 home runs and drove in 103 men in 2002, and Billy Buckner batted .306 with 105 RBI two decades earlier. Looking more than a century back, Frank Chance batted .327 and stole 67 bases in the 1903 season. Second Base: Rogers Hornsby (1929)Four years after winning his first MVP award with the St Louis Browns, Hornsby took home his second title in his first season with the Cubs.Hornsby hit 39 homers and 47 doubles, knocking home 149 runs and scoring a league-leading 156. Hornsby batted .380only good enough for thirdbut he slugged .679 and recorded 409 total bases.Highlight Game: April 17, 1929, vs Pittsburgh.
