After Luis Valbuena was sent to Houston as part of the Dexter Fowler deal, the Cubs gained a (temporary) opening at the third base spot. While super prospect Kris Bryant will do everything he can to force the Cubs to start him on Opening Day, the chances of that are very small.

If they wait a few weeks into April, they gain another year of team control on the third baseman. Enter Tommy La Stella, who is a pretty versatile infielder. He's the opposite of Mike Olt, the other candidate for the job, as he puts the ball in play consistently, but doesn't hit for any power.
