Cubs Silver Slugger Winners

Javier Baez won the NL Silver Slugger for second baseman this year.  I thought I'd follow up yesterday's post on the Gold Glove winners with a look today at all the Cubs who have won the Silver Slugger.

The award has been around since Hillerich & Bradsby gave out the first in 1980.  Since then there have been eleven different Cubs honored.  They've covered all the positions except shortstop.  I'd imagine if the award existed in the 50's and 60's that Ernie Banks would have picked up a few at short.
