First & foremost Merry Christmas to you & Yours Mr. Allison. I know I'm in the minority, but I would be okay with giving this years Centerfield shot to Almora/Happ and seeing if either one can make a statement to be the regular centerfielder. I just believe with Maddon's constant need to platoon everybody everyday, that neither got a real shot. I also believe for (as you stated) pennies on the dollar Addison Russell is worth resigning. He is definitely a better back up infielder than anyone currently on the Cub roster. Also, Merry Christmas to all the other CubHQ writers & contributors and Cub Fans....Oh Yeah, "Dear Santa, A Nick Castellanos contract this year would be a nice gift!" ??????
