4 years agoChicago Cubs manager David Ross has been impressed with second baseman Jason Kipnis. Ross raved about the second baseman’s baserunning and said in regards to his fielding that Kipnis is “moving better than he was in Spring Training.” Kipnis signed a minor league deal this offseason and will compete with infielders Nico Hoerner, David Bote and Daniel Descalso for the Opening Day start. Hoerner offers the most competition against Kipnis, but the Cubs may want him to have more seasoning before handing over the keys. Kipnis is coming off of a disappointing season with the Indians and can be avoided for now in all formats.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller
