Ian Happ And Jason Heward Sit Friday, Albert Almora And Ben Zobrist To Start
7 years agoChicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ will sit out the second game of the season against the Marlins on Friday along with Opening Day right fielder Jason Heyward. Albert Almora will start in center and lead off, while Ben Zobrist will play right and bat seventh. Happ wrote himself into the history books Thursday by hitting a home run on the first pitch of the season off Marlins starter Jose Urena. Manager Joe Maddon loves moving utility guys like Happ, Zobrist and Javier Baez around, which limits their fantasy value against normal starters. But the part-time playing situation can be leveraged in a trade if you dangle someone who regularly starts. See if Happ's owners bite.
