He'll do it.
If Mookie Betts needs a day off.
And Miguel Rojas isn't playing like, hey, play short, play second base.
It's a blowout.
I need somebody to jump on the mound and save the bullpen.
Like he's done that and made a lot of money in the big leagues doing that.
Also, he hits against left handed pitching.
Right.
And when the postseason gets there, he takes his game to another level.
So there's a benefit of having guys that not only have the ability to do that, but also provide value in other ways.
Yeah, I think with Shaw, the draft positioning is always going to be a part of his story while he is in Chicago.
Now, I'm not saying they're just going to move him for nothing.
But while he is a member of the Chicago Cubs, that's always going to be a part of, well, he was a first-round draft pick, and you want a first-round draft pick to be a utility guy.
Well, that's the situation him and the Cubs find themselves in.
So for all parties involved, you want to make the best of the situation and
hit against left-handed pitching, be willing to play all these positions, which he seems like he is, and thrive at them, right?
Like, if I had to say at the end of the season, how many at-bats does Matt Shaw have, what would you guys say?
Yeah, I was going to say between 300 and 400.
So I'll split the difference and say 350.
The only reason I just don't know how many... Because we listed off all the guys that play every day.
