The team has no leadoff hitter so they decided to ruin a good thing and take Heyward, who was legitimately having a good year, and put him in a position that he doesnt feel comfortable in and is hitting like .160 or some shit.

Last I checked only 2 teams with a winning record strike out more than the Cubs and the answer was to call up Ian Happ?

I can't imagine another offseason of basically no moves and I wouldn't be shocked if it involved moving one of the core 4. The team needs a pretty good overhaul of the lineup and find somewhere to increase the amount of contact at the top and bottom and how do you do that with the 2020 FA pool? Sign Rendon? Don't have that kind of money. 2 years left of the core and you can't continue to pray they all hit homeruns at the same time for an entire month. Time to Garciaparra someone.

Have no fear Zobrist is on his way back
