Is Munenori Kawasaki pushing for a spot on the Cubs roster?
When camp opened most viewed Munenori Kawasaki as a long shot, at best, to make the team out of Spring Training. The Cubs had plenty of depth in the infield and other options beyond the 34-year old utility infielder.
Kawasaki has put together a good spring on the field and fit right in to the clubhouse. And an injury to Tommy La Stella might have created an opening for him on the roster.
The Cubs signed Kawasaki to a minor league contract in January.
