What would you have him do? Since he's a LH hitter, he's not much of a platoon candidate with Jones. Do you want him on the bench? Personally I'd rather the Cubs give more bench spots to minimum wage kids who at least have a chance of producing than guys making 2, 3 or 4 times that much that are almost a lock not to produce. At this time though, I don't see much need for Nic. Although if they need somebody on the 60-day DL when Miller comes off, he might do the trick. And yes, he is off to a nice year with his FSL and SL stats combined. Honestly I don't care where we play him at this point...he could possibly play first if it keeps Nefailure out of the lineup...and even though he's a lefty he has to hit them better than Jones.
