Vitters or Lake

[David]

If you had to choose between one of these two guys getting 500 AB in the Cubs OF this year (and I realize they both may well play and that it's not mutually exclusive, but that's not what this is about), which would you choose?

In a year that matters, Lake. This year? Vitters.

For now, Lake. Vitters has to prove something at least first.

I've always been a Vitters fan. I feel like he could still be a Dave Magadan type (back up corner guy that plays enough defense to not hurt you but not good enough to be a regular starter) but I doubt he'll ever get any real opportunity as a Cub.

 

Lake reminds me of pre steroids Sosa, a guy that had to get traded twice before figuring it out. Lake is a better fit for the Cubs immediate future and beyond if Almora, Soler etal don't pan out.
