Through Sunday’s game, Cubs third basemen are batting .207/.301/.349 (54-for-261) with eight home runs. All of the home runs were hit by Patrick Wisdom, though I suspect you knew that already. Wisdom’s other six homers were hit as a DH (three) and right fielder (three).
I probably also don’t need to tell you that .650 OPS is pretty bad. It ranks 24th among MLB teams at third base. The Cubs could use power at many positions, but third base is a glaring, gaping offensive hole.
Jeimer Candelario, who has been around so long that he was signed by the Cubs by the Jim Hendry regime (October 2010), could be that guy.
