It’s still strange to watch postseason baseball that doesn’t include the Chicago Cubs. Last year’s Wild Card game loss helps, I guess, given I watched the Division and Championship Series – as well as the Fall Classic – without the team. But, still, it’s a new look – and I don’t particularly care for it.
It has, however, given me plenty of time to watch guys playing in October – focusing, in particular, on the names I know could be hitting the open market once the postseason draws to a close. Given the Cubs’ glaring hole at second base, one guy I’m particularly interested in is Howie Kendrick.
