Ronny Cedeno beware!

ChicagoSports.com - Baker fundamental about improvement


A telling quote:

"Q Speaking of trades, who's your starting second baseman, Neifi Perez or Todd Walker?

A Right now Todd Walker is our second baseman. He's here. I've heard a lot of speculation [about a trade], but right now we have about 10 weeks before we start. Let us do our thing and we'll be ready by Opening Day."

Since I have no faith that Dusty won't play Neifi Perez, it looks like Cedeno's nominal role as the starting SS is in jeopardy.

Given the Cubs lack of left-handed hitting, starting Todd Walker makes sense.

Given Neifi Perez's lack of hitting ability, starting Ronny Cedeno makes sense. Or at the very least a 2/3 playing time split in his favor for the first month or so.
