I wonder if Kelly can handle 3B and they can call up Ballesteros to be backup catcher..
Rather try this then have a merry go round of Workman, Berti, and Brujan playing there
Hoyer did a really banged up job on his reserves..lol
Shaw aside, Not one guy is worth playing more then once a week, we need to pray none of the others need more then 2-3 games off due to injury.
Great to see Suzuki and Kelly back today, hopefully the bats can put up a big crooked number today with a good outing from Boyd and the bullpen can get their rest with Little pitching the last 2 innings.
I bet Shaw will be back for the Pirates series, theyre definitely going to work on something in Iowa for a couple weeks. there's no way they're going to go with Berti, Workman, and or Turner at 3B for any time longer then that.
Cubs are probably ok with going with a 4 man rotation ( Taillon Imanaga Boyd Brown) until the Milwaukee series May 2-4) because they'll have 4 days off over the next 14 games which will give every starter 4 days rest between starts.
Assad is starting his rehab assignment so he could be ready to go on May 4th when they'll need the 5th starter.
Theyre an old team offensively, talented but baseball old. 12 of 14 hitters are 30 or older, injuries and wear n tear gonna catch up to them eventually
