Chicago Cubs: David Bote has no clear role heading into the season

David Bote can play all over the infield, but in 2020, it’s questionable where he will play for the Cubs. Conventional wisdom says he can slot right into second base since there is really nobody on the roster who can play the position, aside from Nico Hoerner and Daniel Descalso.

Descalso missed a lot of last season with an injury, and Hoerner’s status is unknown whether he will start the year with the Cubs or start in Triple-A. Hoerner looked good in his short stint in Chicago last season, and he’s not going to unseat Javier Baez from short.
