One Cub Quietly Having A Great Season

Funny story; I was checking just how many major leaguers this year have a higher slugging percentage than Orioles' back-up shortstop Robert Andino's OPS (.556) - there are 11 of the them by the way - and saw that one of them is Derrek Lee.

CUBS IN BRIEF: Guzman's love pat worsens Lee's neck
