The reset for Tuck should've came against Cincinnati or Pittsburgh so he may have turned it around before the Brewer series. The mixed signals from CC and Jed, lack of a significant starting pitcher at the deadline, and continued slumps from PCA and Seiya indicates how flat and unemotional the club is playing.

Hoerner is a solid defensive 2nd baseman and base stealer when he gets on. But the Cubs need more slug/power. Shaw appears to be ready. Trade Nico to the Mariners for George Kirby or Brian Woo.
