Ramos wasn't going to catch for us this year regardless if he stayed.  We brought in Wieters.  Big improvement over the alternatives.
Eaton replaces Espinosa in the lineup.  Big improvement.
Lind replaces Robinson as a lefty 1B/LF bat.  Big improvement. 
Adding Blanton to the bullpen was a nice move.
Just patiently letting guys like Harper, Zimmerman, Strasburg, and Ross to get healthy was an obvious way to improve

At this time last year the Cubs had no better a bullpen than we have.  We can address the bullpen this summer if need be.
