So hear me out. If both Hoerner & Shaw can't go to Tokyo what's our best chance to find wins against the Big stars of LA? Try this for taste. Most of us know Busch has played 2nd & 3rd quite a bit when he was with LA. Along with another Cub whom used to be an infielder. So instead of of fringe players replacing Shaw & Hoerner why not go to this for a 2 game set vs The Dodgers
Ian Happ -- LF
Kyle Tucker -- RF
Seiya Suzuki -- DH
Michael Busch -- 3rd
Justin Turner -- 1st
Dansby Swanson --SS
PCA -- CF
Jon Berti -- 2nd
Amaya -- C
You could also move Happ to 2nd base while plugging Suzuki in LF. Counsell has shown in the past to make players maneuver positions. With only a 2 game set why not?
