#3: The Invisible Man

Question: WITHOUT LOOKING, which qualified Chicago Cubs player leads the team in batting average and on-base percentage?

Follow-up question: Do you know the contract terms of the player who answers the first question?

Answer: Jon Jay, who signed a one-year, $8-million dollar contract this off-season. But you likely know those facts already.

With a .321 average and a .418 on-base percentage, many teams around the Majors would love to have the left-handed Jay on their team. And, with an expiring contract, he would be a great rental for a push to the playoffs.

His defense is a bit suspect, being the either best on the current Cubs roster. But that could be easily covered on the right team. Maybe, the Houston Astros?
