Cubs manager David Ross points to Christopher Morel when talking to players who felt that their chance in the big-leagues was too brief.
“The one thing he did was put himself on the map really early with his performance,” Ross said, “and it’s hard to take them out of the lineup when they do that.”
Now, as the Cubs prepare for an offseason that president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer promised would be spent being “aggressive” filling roster holes “in the best way possible,” Morel’s value is evident from another angle.
