Very good chance of that. I hope he continues to rake.
I'd say, at this point, that Aramis, Santo, and Stan Hack are bunched up pretty evenly in the "great Cub 3rd basemen" debate. I think it's in Aramis to break away from the pack (although Santo was a <i>much</i> better fielder).

better for sure, but <i>much</i> better? i thnk ramirez' defense is vastly underrated.

It's been great to watch his defense progress. He was a liability when he first arrived, but has gotten much better. And I'm sure having DLee over there scopping up everything has helped as well.
