Cubs sign Jon Jay

[David]

Seems like a cheaper version of Dexter. Will likely play CF and lead off. His splits as a lead off hitter for his career is .282/.344.

 

I would hope Zobrist becomes our leadoff hitter with Schwarber back inthe lineup.

Yep. Zobrist followed by some combo of Bryant, Rizzo, Schwarbs. Then Russel. Then some combo of Heyward, Baez, Contreras.

 

not that i care about lineup order, but i'd have contreras ahead of russell pretty easily if we're ranking bats.

I really think it's time to let go of the CF Heyward lineups, for now (unless you're advocating for CF Zobrist or CF Baez?)

Shoot. Total brain fart. Make that Baez/Heyward. With Jay/Almora as the third.

I think the CF should probably be batting 8th no matter who is in there. Of course, Comcast Sports Chicago last night said Soler was a CF.

When she did that, I laughed. Then she had somehow forgotten Jay as a CF "option" IIRC.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Cubs would probably rather throw Montero into center before Soler

What does this mean for Matt Murton's chances at making the 40 man?
