As of now, Chicago Cubs’ manager Joe Maddon has said at least three different players would get their chance at the leadoff position. Albert Almora Jr, Ian Happ and Kyle Schwarber are the three expected to get a fair shot at the spot. While Almora and Happ have each had a chance so far, Schwarber is yet to get his.
Happ made a nice defensive play in the opener, making a diving catch on a ball hit to short right field. It was the “play of spring training”–at least after the first day.
