If the doctors say his rehab is complete and he can play the field, then so be it.

This is pretty much all that really matters.

I good with him not playing in the outfield.  Especially against whatever a Josh Tomlin is.

My strategy would be to start Heyward, and then if he happens to come to the plate in a key situation with runners on in the early innings, pinch hit Schwarber before Francona would be inclined to use Miller (or make him burn Miller early), then you could replace Schwarber with Soler on defense for the middle innings, and then once Soler took his 5th or 6th inning AB you could put in Almora to finish it out on defense.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

I like the strategy of scoring 10 runs in the 1st inning and just cruising from there with Travis Wood as a defensive replacement.

That's just crazy enough to work.

I mean, I laughed at this...then realized it's a legitimate strategy and probably could happen at some point...then laughed at how good the Cubs are that a pitcher can adequately play the outfield if needed.

Quote from: Tony on October 27, 2016, 11:03:23 AMThe problem with saving him for one pinch hit at bat it he will probably be facing Miller. Is one at bat against a dominant lefty reliever the best way to use him?

We have only seen him for less than half a season.  Can anyone else believe that?

If you'd told me that he'd kill it, but not have a post season homerun, and yet he'd end up with a post season SB, I wouldn't have believed you.
