Cubs Have 48 on Extended Roster

Some of the 48 players listed on the Chicago Cubs’ extended spring training roster will make their 2010 debuts in short-season ball this summer – meaning Boise or the Arizona League. Others will take advantage of another player’s poor start or bad luck and parlay that onto a full-season roster before then.

The position by position breakdown of the Cubs extended spring training roster includes: 24 pitchers, five catchers, 10 infielders, and nine outfielders.
