Although Bryan LaHair was the Opening Day first baseman, many thought he was going to be a stopgap to...

Minor Accomplishments for Week 5
Perhaps Bryan LaHair isn’t quite the slob I thought he was. Through 110 PA, LaHair is batting .359/.455/.717 with eight homers and it no longer looks as if he’ll be simply stepping aside to make room for top prospect Anthony Rizzo. If Rizzo is to arrive this season, the Cubs are going to have to find a way to build a lineup that accommodates both players. LaHair...

Bryan LaHair’s Fantastic Start
Some Cubs fans entered the season with relatively high expectations for Bryan LaHair. Others weren't optimistic at all. I was somewhere in between. I was fairly certain LaHair's numbers were so damn good at AAA that it indicated he should probably be about a league average ballplayer at the MLB level. To this point we've [...]

LaHair connects on homer to end Cubs' drought
The Chicago Cubs were in a major home-run drought. It had been since April 13 since their last homer, when Bryan LaHair and Ian Stewart
connected in St. Louis. LaHair ended that drought in the ninth inning of the Cubs' 3-2,
10-inning victory Tuesday night over those same Cardinals, this time at Wrigley Field. Manager Dale Sveum is fully aware what had been going on....
