Even with Matt Shaw's latest surge, the Cubs should still pursue a third basemen should one become available.
After a new batch of swing changes, Cubs rookie Matt Shaw has been tearing the cover off the baseball since the All-Star break. Shaw has delivered with a newfound sense of power, clubbing three home runs in the last five games, already surpassing his total of two before the break.
The Cubs elected to sit Shaw for the three games heading into the break, keeping him on his toes with a pinch-hit appearance here and there.
