Cubs have claimed the speedster. Looked good in an orange hoodie, not so good getting thrown out stealing's third.

Lots of moments to have a moment but never really had a moment

Covered shallow center better than Nimmo, but not as good as Laggy. Feels like a special advantage when you have a centerfielder who can steal balls in that triangle, but Marisnick makes that skill kinda redundant, and Hammy wasn't bringing anything else.

Seemed like a good clubhouse presence.

Excellent dreadlocks, not much else.

Ran himself off the team?

He couldn't steal first. Later

The problem was that he couldn't steal third.

Guy whose game revolved 100% around his speed slows a step, ends up running into bad outs because his legs can no longer cash the checks his mind keeps writing, defense not what it used to be because he's slower, has nothing else to offer. Like Roger Cedeno in his second tenure, the fact that he was once fun to watch made him that much more painful to watch now.
