David Bote, Nick Madrigal, Miles Mastrobuoni: Who makes the Cubs Opening Day roster?

We’ve debated these three at length already this spring on this site, so I thought I’d give you an entire article regarding the merits (and downsides) of Cubs infielders David Bote, Nick Madrigal and Miles Mastrobuoni. (Please note, for fairness I have listed these players in alphabetical order.

Let’s look at the careers of each and what the pluses and minuses are of keeping each of them. I have preferences here, but I will try to be as fair as possible.

David Bote

MLB career: 384 games, .231/.318/.393, 36 home runs

Pluses: He’s a pretty good defender at both third base and second base.
