I've gone full 180 on him. If schwarber were healthy it might be a different story. Still think personalized catchers are stupid (but that could just be my hate for tim mccarver)

If it helps Lester, then I am all for it. We can afford a below average in the lineup. I would much rather be resting our catcher rather than putting him through Sal Perez hell (playing every single day).

Also, he is such a great influence on the clubhouse and helps the team play to the best of their abilities. It is amazing how accepting everyone is to shifting around because you normally would think that would be losing your job because everyone loves and trust Maddon so much that they know that they will get their at-bats.

JD was pimping that hard last year, even saying Ross was one of the Cubs most valuable players because of this.

I had a hard time getting on board with that because he hit .180 last year and was such an easy out in the lineup when he played.

But he's actually hitting much better this year so far. And he does seem to be a leader that all the other players genuinely respect and look up to.

Geaux D-Ross.
