If he keeps mashing and plays a key part in us getting into the playoffs, the Cubs are going to want to keep him. Regardless, ANY AL team should be interested in him. He could bring a nice return. I don't think he's an everyday player in the NL though. I mean there's ways to get him 400 at bats but I highly doubt he's a guy that you're going to pencil into 3rd base everyday for example.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
What about first base?
