The Cubs will all be wearing No. 42 in honor of the late Jack Roosevelt Robinson today, a number that looks a helluva lot better next to pretty much ever name than would their hitting metrics. Ian Happ leads off in center, followed by Willson Contreras at catcher, Anthony Rizzo at first, and Kris Bryant at third. Joc Pederson is in left, Javy Báez is at short, Jason Heyward is in right, and Eric Sogard rounds things out at second.
Remember when David Ross said Nico Hoerner would be starting in the minors because David Bote had won the keystone job?
