The Chicago Cubs have one of the best young lineups in baseball, and as everyone on the planet knows by now, theyre headed to the World Series for the first time in 71 years. Authentic Sam Jones Jersey .And they just might be getting another key piece to their lineup.Outfielder Kyle Schwarber has been out since April 7 after tearing his ACL, and he was presumed to be lost for the remainder of the 2016 season. That could all be changing, however, as Schwarber has been added to the Mesa Solar Sox roster in the Arizona Fall League, and theres a real chance he could be added to the Cubs World Series roster before Tuesdays game against Cleveland.In his first action in six-plus months, Schwarber went 0-for-3 with a walk, but thats only part of the story. I had a chance to speak with an AL scout who attended the game, and he had positive -- but cautious -- things to say about the left-handed hitter.The timing is just a little bit off, the scout said. But thats to be expected; this guy hasnt played in a game since April. He still showed quality bat speed, he appeared to recognize pitches well, and hes always a threat with the long ball. As talented as this young man is, it wouldnt surprise me at all if hes ready to contribute with the bat in a couple of days.How Schwarber would fit is intriguing, and potentially less problematic than you might think. The Cubs will have the DH available for the first two games of the series and (potentially) the last two, so you dont have to worry about him defensively. He wasnt exactly a defensive star before the injury, and he certainly wont play defense in the games at Wrigley Field, but hes a potential weapon off the bench late in games. At the very least, Cleveland would have to be careful about using right-handed relievers, knowing that Schwarber is just a substitution away. Also keep in mind that the Cubs are currently carrying three catchers and have a ton of roster versatility, so they dont have to worry as much about late-game decisions knowing they have a non-option on defense.Its a risk -- and no decision will be made on Schwarber until after Sundays simulated game -- but Schwarber could be a major addition to the Cubs lineup in the first two games, one they werent expecting to see on the field until 2017.
