I believe that Nico Hoerner has been one of the more overrated prospects the Cubs have had since the days of Brett Jackson, and though I know a lot of Cubs fans love him, I just don’t understand why. To be fair, he’s only played 68 games with a total of 208 plate appearances, so the second baseman is still a baseball seedling. But the Cubs signed Jason Kipnis last year and are rumored to be interested in Tommy La Stella this winter, so it’s not like the front office is fully committed to handing Hoerner the keys to the car and eliminating his curfew.
