Almost no chance they start Bryant at Wrigley this weekend. I fully expect him to be in the lineup Monday at Pittsburgh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Rizzo gets traded for pitching. They would put Bryant in LF, as there's no way they're trading Rizzo. Russell's playing 2nd tonight, so I wonder if they want to fast track him to the majors and keeping Bryant at 3B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Baez, for sure, is the odd man out (but how devalued)? Rizzo's not going to be traded...they're much more likely to package guys like Baez, Schwarber, Alcantara, Almora or even McKinney (although they need another "true" outfielder at some point). If Bryant moves to LF, then you put Baez at 3B, Castro at SS and Russell at 2B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I am sure they would LOVE for Bryant to develop at third though. His value decreases a lil bit moving him to the outfield. There are a lot of outfielders who can hit. Get yourself that offensive force out of a third basemen.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, people are talking about taking their kids there so they could "be there" when he gets his debut. If Kris Bryant fails it will be one of the all time worst.
