Lawton: The Solution?
As the non-waiver trading deadline passe at for 4:00 PM EDT today the Cubs aquired Matt Lawton from the Pirates for Jody Gerut. Lawton is hitting .273 with 10 HR's and 44 RBI's. Lawton also adds speed to Cubs. He has 16 stolen bases this year. He may also solve their leadoff problem seeing as he has a .380 OBP. This will give Derek Lee and Aramis Ramirez more chances to drive in runs.The Cubs are also a good fit for Lawton because the play the majority of their games during the day and Lawton has a .298 AVG during day games.He has struck out only 19 times durig day games compared to 61 during night games. Also during July Lawton hit .301. So Lawton should be a great addition to the Cubs.
