From the truth file.
Why Grudz doesn't play SS.
If the Cubs had rallied to tie the game Wednesday in the ninth, Grudzielanek would have had to play shortstop in the bottom of the inning. But while many would like to see Grudzielanek starting at short and Walker at second, Baker reiterated that Grudzielanek physically can't move back to shortstop. Ramon Martinez is one of the few players capable of starting at both middle-infield spots, he said.
Hollandsworth's playing time.
Todd Hollandsworth, who played well when Sammy Sosa was on the disabled list, will be back in the lineup today as a designated hitter against the White Sox.
In 94 AB's as Sosa's replacement Todd Hollandsworth hit .245, with 3 HR's and 13 RBI. His OBP was .317, slugged .394, and he had .711 OPS. Thats playing well? Stick to pinch hitting Holly.
