not yet

but this team has issues. The injury excuse is lame and even with D Lee is healthy he isn’t right. Soto isn’t right. Big Z has number #1 stuff, but isn’t a #1. Our best hitter is Fukodome right now (doesn’t that say it all). Wow, we need some wins to make all of this feel better.

It is a well know fact

The Cubs do not win at the BOB/Chase Field. I believe we had this discussion last year and their number is like 25-50 or something crazy like that.
Not sounding negative, but I think we’ll be lucky to go 1-2 the next three days.

2. Mike Fontenot is not really versatile. He’s a second baseman and thats it.

Soto could be a bench player, if his shoulder is still bothering him

I just don’t understand why, if Soto is hurt, why we’re trotting him out there? If he’s this hurt, where he can’t hit, and he’s a liability on defense, then it might be time to DL him
