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?

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.

I don't want the Cubs to give up on Olt. I just can't see it. He's been really bad. Like, really really bad. But I have a hard time thinking he's this bad. And he's only 25.

He's Matt Dominguez with extra pop in his bat. There's a place for him in the majors but not someone I want as my everyday 3rd baseman for the long haul... unless the rest of my team was stacked offensively. Profiling as being a plus defender and plus power, he should have a long career.
