Utility Moises Ballesteros Willi Castro The last two hitters that we suspect the Cubs to carry are Ballesteros and Castro. Castro provides infield and outfield depth defensively, as well as strong playoff experience.

Willi Castro took it upon himself to give the Cubs life as he took Burns the other way for a leadoff double, putting a runner in scoring position for the first time since the first.
