It’s hard to make a big difference in a short stint, but the latest Cubs rookie to grace the roster has already made a significant impact. I’ll go out on a limb and say that he’s better than a replacement player. In other words, he’s got a positive schWAR.
Kyle Schwarber already showed us that his bat was MLB ready on Wednesday night, going 4-5 with a triple, 2 RBI, and 2 runs. Of course, I could have gotten hits off of the likes of Shaun Marcum the way he was throwing. And then there was that dribbler against the shift with DH Ryan Raburn putting in emergency relief duty.
