New Chicago Cubs manager David Ross plans to use Kris Bryant in the leadoff spot in spring training and potentially beyond.
"You'll see him at the top of the order a whole lot in spring training," Ross said Wednesday, per Bruce Levine of 670 The Score. "My goal is to put the best players and the best at-bats for me at the top of the order."
Drew Silva of NBC Sports noted the upgrade compared to last year's team:
Kyle Schwarber, Jason Heyward and Ben Zobrist were among those rotating into the leadoff spot in 2019, but Bryant could be the answer in 2020.
