Cubs | Josh Vitters feels sense of urgency

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 19:11:57 -0800

Chicago Cubs 3B Josh Vitters is most comfortable at third base, but he has started to take grounders at first base, and played some right field in Arizona Fall League, looking to find a way onto the roster. 3B Ian Stewart is at third base and under contract through 2014, so Vitters is now blocked at the hot corner. With a new front office in place for the Chicago Cubs, Vitters feels a sense of urgency. "Oh, yeah, absolutely, I'd be lying if I said that I didn't," Vitters said. "I feel like everybody really does to some extent. Yeah, I got something to prove."

Cubs | Josh Vitters shows signs of maturing

Tue, 15 Mar 2011 20:30:09 -0700

Chicago Cubs 3B Josh Vitters was a different third baseman than the one who played in his first camp a year ago, reports Carrie Muskat, of MLB.com. "I've seen a kid who has matured," manager Mike Quade said Tuesday, March 15. "I've seen a totally different person this spring. He deserves a ton of credit.
