The Cubs are reportedly recalling minor-league stud Micah Hoffpauir, who’s been up with the team once already and shone, with an impressive .400/.432/.571 line. But why bring up a left-handed first baseman when you’re starting Derek Lee and have lefty pinch-hitter Daryl Ward as his backup? Well, Hoffpauir can also play well in the outfield, and Alfonso Soriano is still about a week away from returning, at best, while Kosuke Fukudome is 7-42 in July, and could use a rest now and again.
