CHICAGO -- Cubs rising star Javier Baez has made it clear that he isn't changing his style. From the big swings to the flair he shows in the field and on the basepath, it's simply how he goes about his business.
He doesn't care how it's perceived.
"People that talk about me can save it," Baez said last week in response to criticism.
You can add his teammates to that sentiment. What some -- such as Pittsburgh Pirates manager Clint Hurdle -- think is over the top, others find entertaining. Baseball is a sport, but like all sports, it's also an entertainment vehicle.
