I’m not telling you anything you don’t know about the Chicago Cubs Daniel Descalso. When Tommy La Stella was traded, the Cubs needed a backup second baseman. Ben Zobrist was thought to get the majority of at-bats at second, but Joe Maddon likes to move him around. So they signed Descalso to a two-year deal with a club option for a third. They shouldn’t get to a second year, if I may be so frank.
Descalso started fast, slashing a .263/.349/.408 with a .757 OPS with five doubles, two home runs and 11 RBI in the first month.
