CHICAGO -- In one of the Cubs' postseason games, manager Joe Maddon turned to Kyle Schwarber and asked the rookie if he could play third base. Maddon was plotting a possible switch and considering his options. Schwarber said yes and that all he needed was a glove.
The rookie dashed into the clubhouse, grabbed somebody's glove, and returned to the Cubs' dugout ready to go. Schwarber then stood next to catching coach Mike Borzello and confessed that he'd never played third. Ever.
And Borzello wasn't surprised that Schwarber was willing to do it.
One of the hot topics this offseason has been where Schwarber will play for the Cubs in 2016.
