Jon Jay: The Cubs' Sixth Man

If the Cubs ever needed to make the transition into basketball, they already have two positions set.

Joe Maddon has already compared Javy Baez to a good point guard and Sunday night, he likened Jon Jay to a good sixth man coming off the bench.

Maddon has spoken highly of Jay all year, joking about how he'd like to adopt the veteran outfielder as a sidekick.

Jay came through again in the clutch Sunday night, collecting the game-winning hit in the seventh inning to help the Cubs sweep the St. Louis Cardinals at Wrigley Field.
