Hindsight is always more clear, but the Cubs are going need excellent vision when it comes to the keystone spot in 2020. They kind of took the Brewers’ volume-based approach this past season, loading the roster with 27 different players who can play the position. But if all goes well, 27 will be gone and the Cubs will have an everyday answer rather than a perpetual series of questions.
Instead of dragging this out to the end, I’ll go ahead and put it right out there: Nico Hoerner taking over as the full-time second baseman next season would be the best possible outcome.
