- OF Sam Fuld could be a key bench piece, especially if the Cubs don't re-sign OF Reed Johnson, who hit the free agent market. Fuld, who has good speed and plays good defense in all three outfield spots, hit .299 with a .409 on-base percentage in 65 games with the Cubs. He also batted .284 in 84 games at Class AAA Iowa. Unlike Johnson, who bats right-handed, Fuld hits from the left side. A 10th-round draft pick in 2004, he could finally stick in 2010.(Yahoo! Sports)
