It’s no secret. Second base was a bit of a black hole for the Chicago Cubs in 2019. With Ben Zobrist working through family matters that kept him off the roster for the majority of the year and the continued struggles of Addison Russell, it was a position that posed more questions than answers.
Recently, I opined the team would be best served giving the starting second base job to David Bote. After all, he’s under team control for years to come and has proven that he’s more than capable of handling the bat.
