The Chicago Cubs are desperately looking for someone to fill the void left by Dexter Fowler. The leadoff man has been a problem all season long, though Joe Maddon may have found the answer.
That’s right, Anthony Rizzo could very well be the team’s answer. Rizzo went 2-for-4 with three RBI on Tuesday, including a home run to start the game. He followed that up Wednesday with another leadoff homer en route to a 1-for-5 finish.
Kyle Schwarber didn’t work out because he doesn’t put the bat on the ball enough. Rizzo, however, isn’t prone to strikeouts nearly as much as the former.
