so will he hit 7th or 9th?

 

I bet 9th, Denorfia and Castillo are no slouches v. LHP, and avoiding the externalities that come with hitting in front of the pitcher is worthwhile too.

 

i bet they did this just to spare us having to watch herrera flail away at liriano's offerings all night

The Cubs may be publicly downplaying their odds of contending this season, but this move is proof they know they can win, and win now.

put the best 23 players we can possibly find on the major league team, while also carrying a pitcher who doesn't pitch and a washed up catcher who gets to play once every 5 games.

lol thanks ken

 

@Ken_Rosenthal Source: Russell will play second base for #Cubs. Team still views shortstop as his best position. Promotion first reported by @JonHeymanCBS.

What are they saying? They think this will be the end of Castro?

With Ripken chiming in that if he's a SS, you don't want to move him off, with Harold agreeing and acting like 2B may be really hard for him to adjust to.

Muskat says it will be Alcantara going down.
