If you added the prospect presumed to come to the bigs this season, the Cubs have an entire 5-man rotation injured, and a fine one that that.

Yes. And furthermore... because Hoerner is a base stealer, I tend to agree that #3 makes great sense. If he hits into a force and gets to first with two outs, he can try for second.
The arts and sciences of pitching have outdone their bodies. It's as simple as that. And it's time to bring out the Mike Marshall instruction set, for researching what to do about it.
Well said. We are happy to have the man and maybe he's patient in his role with the shot always before him to play in the bigs in October and November.
