8/22 Cubs lineup
David DeJesus moves from right field to left on Wednesday as Alfonso Soriano gets a day off in the Cubs’ series finale against the Brewers. Travis Wood takes the mound as the Cubs try to salvage a game. Here’s the lineup:
DeJesus LF
Valbuena 3B
Castro SS
Rizzo 1B
LaHair RF
Clevenger C
Jackson CF
Barney 2B
T. Wood P

I hope DeJesus is okay after the collision with Jackson. Jackson also collided with Castro the other day. Does he need to pay better attention? He seems to be a good outfielder in other ways. I think that both Jackson and Vitters were brought up way too soon to be major league players. They are embarrassing themselves at the plate which will only ruin their confidence. Triple A is where these players should be training NOT once they are brought up. Rizzo was ready and has done well at Wrigley. I know we are all anxious to rebuild the team but it seems that we may be going TOO fast by trading away so many of our seasoned players (we were winning when they were here) all at once. Act in haste, regret at leisure.
