Jon Jay, center field, Chicago Cubs
Jon Jay signed a one-year, $8 million contract with the Cubs in the offseason after a stellar season with the Padres.
The 32-year-old had a .291/.339/.389 line with 26 RBI. He’s not going to hit for power so the home runs aren’t something we need to go over, but in 373 plate appearances last season he still had 101 hits.
He has a bit of pressure on him this season having to replace Dexter Fowler, who is now with the Cardinals. But even with him platooning with Albert Almora this season the lefty can still provide plenty of options for Joe Maddon and the entire Cubs roster.
