Middle Infield Offense

[Lefty]

I love looking at the ESPN.com site and see the Cubs' production at different positions. Yesterday I quantified the loss of DLee in another thread.

 

Cub second basemen, taking out Todd Walker, have hit .254/.279/.344 in over 370 PAs. It is hard to fathom how awful that is. I guess if Hendry is serious about Cedeno playing 2nd next year, and I don't believe he is, we have seen the future.

 

By the way our Shortstops are .242/.272/.309. So while we appear to be stuck with Izturis, I can't believe we won't pick up some runs in the middle infield next year. Remember Garciaparra and Walker? That was fast.

="Lefty" So while we appear to be stuck with Izturis, .

 

but don't forget...its like he is driving runs in with his glove.

 

Last week I know he killed that rally with the double play...but don't

forget that slick play he made up the middle of the field with no one on and 2

outs...thats like driving 1/2 run right there in itself.
