You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

Interesting news about Heyward -- he's already in Arizona in order to get extra time repairing his swing.

He bought a house in Arizona, in fact, to stay there and work on his swing all offseason.

He's in Pen's old place.

Old place?  Whuh?  Did Pen move within Arizona?

Duh. The news is that Ross toured Wrigley Field and the Cubs took a look at him medically.

And of course right after some dope from sports Mockery said the Cubs had signed Tyson Ross, Heyman TWEETED THAT 20 teams were in on him. Which makes a lot more sense.

I won't believe it until I read it on Barstool.

So jumping off Maddon's comments from yesterday, and understanding it won't be a straight platoon situation, something like this?

vs. RHP
Schwarber
Bryant
Rizzo
Zobrist
Russell
Heyward
Contreras
Jay

vs. LHP
Zobrist
Bryant
Rizzo
Contreras
Russell
Heyward
Baez
Almora

With Montero catching Jake and maybe once more per week, and La Stella getting maybe a start a week.

Added the positions so I could see it better.  Not sure how I feel about Contreras 4th.  The troika of Schwarber-Baez-Zobrist is interesting. 3 players, 2 positions.
