(670 The Score) On its daily 5 at 5 segment Thursday morning, the Mully & Haugh crew debated a variety of questions.
-- Do you think Cubs slugger Kyle Schwarber will play the majority of his games as a left fielder or a designated hitter in 2020? How much will manager David Ross take into account Schwarber's preference to be an outfielder? What will be the deciding factor in the decision?
-- White Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito "absolutely" wants to be the White Sox's starter on Opening Day. Is there any doubt — barring injury or illness — that's his role? How would you line up the starting rotation if you were putting it together now?
-- The NFL and the union anticipate player opt-outs will be available due to concerns over COVID-19, but the decisions would need to be communicated by a certain date, the NFL Network reported. Because NFL contracts contain fewer guarantees than in other sports — and often more uncertain futures — would you expect fewer players to be interested in opting out? Or would it be more due to the nature of the sport? Would NFL teams generally be as accepting as other sports of players choosing to sit out?
-- What do you think of the Ivy League postponing all fall sports until 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic? What impact will that have on athletic directors in other conferences? Do you expect most, if not all, of college sports to follow that lead?
-- Are you on board with the White Sox's cardboard cutout fan initiative for the opening series of the season? Whom would you like to see represented in the stands on Opening Day?
