Cubs Were Willing To Give Lance Berkman First Base Job

Interesting decision for Lance Berkman to sign with St. Louis, where he won’t supplant Albert Pujols at first base so he will wind up playing left field with Matt Holliday moving to right field. With Berkman and Holliday on either side, the question is whether center fielder Colby Rasmus will be run ragged by the All-Star break. The Chicago Cubs were willing to give Berkman their first base job, but he preferred playing in St. Louis.
