CHICAGO -- The Cubs have three rookies in the lineup -- Addison Russell, Kris Bryant and Jorge Soler -- and Theo Epstein, president of baseball operations, likes how the kids are doing so far.
"These guys are handling themselves on and off the field in a manner well beyond their years," Epstein said on Wednesday. "When you see the quality at-bats they're having, the great plays they're making, and they're participating in some winning baseball, it's easy to forget how hard it is for young position players to have any kind of success in 2015 Major League Baseball.
