Coghlan doesn't have the arm to play RF so ultimately Soler's really the only available option there right now. Even if Alcantara wasn't playing horrible baseball right now, he doesn't really have the arm for RF either. But when LaStella gets healthy or if Baez ever figures out how to make contact again, you could shift Bryant over to RF and move Soler over to LF.
Then again, if McKinney and Schwarber continue progressing, Schwarber may be their long-term RFer and they'll make due with Bryant's glove at 3b with Soler in LF.
I just think the fact that they have a bit of a prospect gap in their OF right now has Soler in RF but long-term he's going to left.

Eh, Holliday doesn't really "play" left, more occupies it with his monster muscles so it doesn't fight back.
I had assumed keeping Bryant at third brings more value to the cubs than putting him in RF and moving Baez over to 3rd.
Looking at their minor system, they've got alot of highly rated position players, who, i assume will be moved for pitching at some point, no?
