And with him not in there, does this...

allow Matt Shaw to play a bigger role than maybe he would have played had Austin not gotten hurt.

And so I think you saw the lineup with, you know, Matt Shaw playing a little bit of first base yesterday and like him getting work there and increasing his versatility is only going to help him and help the Cubs.

Cause look,

If you have a guy that can play a million positions, it's really valuable.

So I think for Matt Shaw, him being able to be versatile defensively, but also be able to be a guy that's strong against left-handed pitching, that's how you find ways to get guys in the lineup, right?

What can you do?

You're a right-handed hitter, and you can bang against left-handed pitching, there's going to be a spot for you on the roster.

Right.

He's going to get his opportunities to.

I think the other thing when it comes to Matt Shaw playing all these positions is they have a lot of guys that play every day short.

Obviously, Dansby is going to play between 155 and 160 games a season.

Nico is going to play between 150 and 160 games a season.

So you're not going to have him there.

And Alex is probably gonna play between 145 games and 150 games at third base.

The one thing with Bregman is there could be some days where maybe you DH him, right?

But...
