Spring Training Update...hitting wise

Well after the great start to spring training the Cubs have came back down to earth. They were one of the top teams in the Cactus League but after lost 12 of their last 17 games. Obviously spring training is not that important and will mean nothing come April but wouldn't a good spring training record comfort those nervous Cubs' Fans. The stars of the Chicago Cubs have yet to really go hard at it because Lou has been giving other people a chance to fight for the 25 man roster. Micah Hoffpauir and Mike Fontenot are the current spring training stars. Hoffpauir is showing Lou that he deserves to be the "DeRosa" of last year or in other words the go to utility player we need. He has played 1st and the corner outfield spots and currently has a 288 ave and 3 bombs. He has slowed down a little so for those of you who don't like the 288 ave it was quite a bit higher about 4 days ago. Fontenot has basically stapled his name to the second base slot. We have yet to really see what Miles can do but Fontenot has a 381 ave and 3 bombs. His total slugging percentage is 786. This is great to see and if he can keep this going into the regular season the Cubs will be a hard club to beat.
