Cubs | Prospect SS Hak-Ju Lee progressing nicely

Hak-Ju Lee SS Chicago Cubs (Peoria Chiefs) - Lee continued his sturdy season on Sunday, going 2 for 3 with a double, scoring one run and walking once against the Cedar Rapids Kernels. The Chiefs lefty lead-off man from South Korea maintained his solid .276 average.

Our Instinct: At 6-2 and 170lbs, Lee is a little tall for the shortstop position, but his plus speed helps him get to most balls. With Starlin Castro blocking him at SS with the big club, it’s hard to say who will get moved to 2b. The Cubs are in a nice position. With Castro in the bigs, they can take their time with Lee and let him work on his bat and on-base skills.
