Matt Shaw Needs to Be on Next Thing Smoking to Chicago
AP Photo/Godofredo A. VásquezWe just covered this topic on Friday, but Matt Shaw continues to destroy baseballs at Triple-A Iowa and really needs to be back in Chicago at this point. The Opening Day third baseman has hit two homers in each of the last two games, including leadoff homers in each and a walk-off shot on Thursday. He went 3-for-5 on Friday to raise his slash line to .302/.423/.593, and that’s after starting his demotion with a 1-for-17 skid.
"Goodnight, Matt Shaw!"
