Cubs rely on rookies and defense to lift late season push
Cubs manager Phil Cavarretta pins 1953 hopes on a rookie second base combo led by Gene Baker and Ernie Banks, plus Talbot at center and Kiner with Sauer providing power. He aims for improved middle defense, steady pitching from Miksis, Rush, Klippstein and Minner, with Trey Tosh and Meek possibly backing up.
