And here's something. What are they going to do with Mike Olt? You have to think Kris Bryant is going to be the third baseman starting in May of next year at the latest, right? If Valbuena gets traded, which would be difficult for the Cubs to swallow but easy to accomplish, does Olt take over? I think you have to let him try. You have to teach him, get him to put in extra work (which I think he does) and adapt. He can definitely hit. I think it's there. He is just not confident.

Olt has way too much power to give up on this early in his career. Rizzo struggled to hit when he first came up too. I think Olt will be given time to have a turnaround, whether it be at the end of this year or Spring Training and the beginning of next year. I still think Bryant could get moved to the outfield at some point.
