Ill bet the house, if Alcantara hits 25+ HRs, OPS over 850 and can get his K rate at 30% or under this season, he will be considered for one of the corner spots for the cubs next season.
Shaw hasn't played the OF since Suzuki return, except the one game he started in CF. Taking nothing away from Shaw, hes been really good, but i believe Hoyer/Counsell likes and probably prefers having him as a super sub over starting in RF everyday.
You can disagree all you want and that fine, long season, we'll see how it plays out.
