In today’s BCB After Dark, Josh asked you who you thought would get the most at-bats for the Cubs as the leadoff hitter this year. (Go vote if you haven’t yet!)
Given that, I thought I’d elaborate a bit about the leadoff spot dilemma the Cubs face this year.
With the recent retirement announcement by former Cubs center fielder Dexter Fowler, we were all reminded of how good a job Fowler did as the Cubs’ leadoff hitter in 2015 and 2016 and how the team has struggled to find someone to fill that spot since Fowler departed as a free agent after 2016.
