[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1547816, member: 26283"] It would be awesome if Happ could solve the Cubs’ perpetual CF/lead off hitter problem. At least for the next three or four years. Even taking into account the Cubs’ undistinguished history in this regard, it’s pretty crazy that he’s now the franchise all-time leader in home runs for a switch hitter at age 25. I was pretty critical of how the team handled Happ last season, especially in relation to the kid gloves they used with Almora. I’m wondering now if they knew what they were doing. Or maybe this was a bone of contention between Maddon and the front office. Either way, since being called back up... 93 games .282/.374/.600, 21 HR, 52 RBI, 152 OPS+. All Star verging on MVP level performance. If I had any criticism, it’d be that I’d like to see a guy with his speed steal more. [/QUOTE]
