The Cubs have been searching for a consistent answer at the leadoff spot since Dexter Fowler left town after the 2016 World Series.
Anthony Rizzo may be the surprising and unconventional answer for the 2018 squad.
The Cubs have used 8 different leadoff hitters this season, with Albert Almora Jr. (39 starts), Ben Zobrist (26 starts) and Ian Happ (12 starts) leading the way.
Rizzo has made 11 starts in a row at the position and what was formerly a temporary solution may be morphing into a long-term fix.
So much so that Joe Maddon is actually altering the rest of the lineup to give Rizzo more RBI opportunities atop the lineup, inserting the pitcher into the No.
