Easy to get all or almost all: since the 1994 strike (abbreviated st1994s the rest of the post), who are the 8 position players with the most WAR in a Cubs uniform (abbreviated iaCu the rest of the post)?
Easy to get the first part, hard to get the second part: st1994s, who is the heaviest Cubs position player (listed at 265 lbs.)? And who are the next two tied for second (listed at 245 lbs., and one of them played primarily CENTERFIELD!)?
Easy-to-medium: st1994s, which two Cubs pitchers have hit the most batters as well as thrown the most wild pitches iaCu?
Medium to get #1, hard to get more than half the rest: st1994s, which Cubs player has the least-listed weight? Can you name any of the other four players listed under 160 lbs.?
Medium to get almost all: st1994s, who are the 11 pitchers with the most WAR iaCu?
Medium: st1994s, who is the LEAST valuable player iaCu, with NEGATIVE 3.5 WAR?
Medium: st1994s, which Cubs pitcher has the most successful pickoffs iaCu?
Medium-Hard: st1994s, which Cub (iaCu) has saved the most total runs by avoiding double plays in double play situations (measured by Baseball-Reference's rDP stat)?
Hard to get almost all: st1994s, the obvious Cubs slugger has the highest ISO (SLG-BA, basically measuring how many bases above singles per at bat you get, measuring power). Who is 2nd through 6th on that list (minimum 300 PA iaCu)? None have been an answer to a previous question, and all are memorable Cubs IMO.
Hard: st1994s, there have been 4 Cubs middle infielders with over +30 Fielding Runs iaCu. One or two should be obvious. Can you name all four?
Hard: st1994s, who is the leader in baserunning runs above average iaCu? It is NOT the obvious candidate (who is tied for 2nd).
Hard to get both: st1994s, which two Cubs pitchers have the most balks?
Hard to get both: st1994s, which two Cubs NON-PITCHERS have had more than 25 successful sacrifice bunts?
Hard to name more than half: st1994s, there have been 13 Cubs pitchers with 200 games pitched in relief. How many can you name?
Medium to get one, hard to get more: st1994s, there is one Cubs pitcher who pitched many games who was 6'7". Can you name him, and then 6 pitchers who were as tall as him or taller?
