Chicago Cubs: Javier Baez batting second in the lineup today

It doesn’t seem like much, but the Chicago Cubs’ Javier Baez is batting second today. Why is this important? It shows how far Baez has come as a hitter.

When you looked at the Chicago Cubs‘ lineup, something might have caught your eye. Was is Albert Almora Jr. leading off the game? No. That wasn’t it. It was Javier Baez batting second in today’s lineup. Clearly, Joe Maddon has to do with his lineup as he must. But that’s not the entirety of the story.

This is still new to Cubs’ skipper Maddon. First, he’s trying to find a spot where a guy like Baez can help the Cubs “go.” It might not seem like the ideal fit for Baez, but it might work out. What does a guy that’s batting .235 have to offer?…
