Hey, remember when the Cubs were doing well and had Albert Almora Jr. and Javy Baez in the top two spots? There’s nothing wrong with a little tinkering, but we sure have seen some significant movement all over the lineup in the last week or so.
Willson Contreras is in the leadoff spot, something he could actually be a good fit for. Kyle Schwarber is batting second and playing left, followed by Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo, who’s on a homer binge after a very slow start to the season.
Addison Russell is batting fifth, which would have seemed odd a week ago.
