Chicago Cubs should steer clear of Yasiel Puig this winter

After spending a rather disappointing season split between the Cincinnati Reds and the Cleveland Indians, this winter, Yasiel Puig will become a free agent for the first time in his Major League career.

On the year, the Cuban-born slugger turned in a .327 on-base percentage with 42 home runs and 84 RBI. Still, he seemed rejuvenated after joining the Indians, slashing an impressive .297/.377/.423 mark in 207 plate appearances. The power numbers weren’t there in Cleveland, but you’ll take that average and OBP any day of the week.

One of his biggest weaknesses has to be his swing-and-miss tendencies.
