The Cubs have a need at second base and Cesar Hernandez could be the answer.

Since the departure of Ben Zobrist, the Chicago Cubs have seen their share of ups and downs at the second base position. This year, they went with veteran Jason Kipnis, rookie Nico Hoerner and David Bote – with varied results.

Hoerner showed he’s just not ready offensively. He managed a 57 OPS+ on the year which makes sense.
