You make an interesting point. Javy is a fan fav, but unless this season was an extreme fluke, which many will claim it was, Baez is a huge liability with a bat in is hand. You can't give a, defense only, player a huge contract.Interesting article in BN a few days ago. Would the Cubs go bold this offseason and try to backload a deal to get Korean SS Ha-Seong Kim? He is a contact guy, who fields the position well, and would add some speed.
Javy? Slide him to 2nd or 3rd depending if you deal someone, or deal Javy. Changes have to be made.
