I think Fontenot's going to end up playing more there, and anybody that watched the Cubs on a daily basis last year knows he really can hit. Maybe he doesn't keep slugging at that rate, but that guy hit the ball hard in just about every single game he played in. People are unwilling to believe in him because of his size and the fact that he was a little bit of a late bloomer, but he sure as hell looked like a legitimate major league hitter to me the last 2 years.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I like Fontenot a lot but I can easily see a big drop off in his production this season. I'm not real sold on his defensive abilities either, Fielding Bible be damned.
