[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1401755, member: 26283"] Rizzo recovered from an abysmal April and was very good in May and the first week of June. Now he’s been horrible again for about the last month. I have to wonder if his back is acting up on him again. He doesn’t look comfortable out there. That said, his BABIP is among the lowest among qualifying position players. So bad luck might be a big part of it. The Cubs have $16.5M options on him in 2020 and 2021. It was unthinkable just 6 months ago that they might not pick those up. But looking at how cheap power hitting 1st basemen are and the season Rizzo is having, if he doesn’t pick his performance way, way up over the next season and a half the Cubs might actually decline that option.
