I used to qualify all my “one backup infielder” statements with something like “excluding Micah Hoffpauir,” but stopped. Technically first base is on the infield, but a guy who can play first is no more a backup infielder than Geo Soto is a backup infielder (afterall, he could play first base in a pinch). You know what I mean?

I’m splitting hairs her, but wouldn’t Mr. Hoffpauir be considered and backup infielder?Thus leaving the Cubs with two, not one.

[...] Are the Cubs still trying to acquire a back-up infielder? Mike Lamb could fit the bill. I guess. [Bleacher Nation] [...]

Hmm. I’ve never thought he was all that bad and he’s gotten some big hits against us. Then again, he’s had like a billion at bats against us. I’d take him.
