Next week at the Winter Meetings, rumors will fly, and both players and money will change hands. Trades will come to completion, and free-agent negotiations will advance rapidly.For now, however, the frontier is quiet, and so baseball fans everywhere are left to the pleasant reflection that so enriches the experience of this game during its off-season. With just one month left in this, the most momentous (not to say tumultuous) decade in Chicago Cubs history, I chose to focus my remembrance upon the good times. 
Specifically, I have selected the 25 best individual seasons had by Cubs since 2000.I chose not only eight starting position players and five starters, but also a full complement of relievers and bench players. Crucially, it should be noted that role players were selected from among players who amassed fewer than 400 plate appearances in the given season, so that only true bench players were eligible for the honor.Catcher: Geovany Soto, 2008This choice was a no-brainer, at least on the surface, and most fans probably wouldn't even say it was close.It was, though. He clubbed 16 homers and had a higher OPS than Soto. Barrett, however, got hurt in August of that year, and played only 107 games He had 145 fewer plate appearances than Soto. All things considered, it has to be Soto, but the margin is slim. First Base: Derrek Lee, 2005No slim margins here.
Lee smashed 46 round-trippers, won the batting title, led the league in OPS and notched 15 steals. He won the Gold Glove for the second of three times in his career. He had the second-most homers and the most doubles in the league, contributing to the best slugging percentage in the National League. If one were desperate for a contender for Lee, Fred McGriff makes a compelling case in a partial season, after being traded to Chicago in July 2001. Lee, however, is still the runaway winner. Second Base: Mark Bellhorn, 2002This was one of the closest races I examined. In 2008, Mark DeRosa posted a .285/.376/.481 line, hitting 21 homers and providing value as a versatile defender. It's hard to argue with those factors, but Bellhorn does it successfully for a few reasons.First, he played on a miserable offensive team, which hurt his ability to drive in runs.
