No one in spring training with 30 or more at-bats had a lower batting average than the new Cubs shortstop.In his first at-bat Friday in a 5-3 win against the Texas Rangers at Sloan Park, Swanson hit a slow roller to the right side but legged out an infield single thanks to a poor defensive play. He finished the day 1-for-3 to increase his average to .081.There’s no shortage of stories of players putting up abysmal numbers in spring training and starting the season red-hot and vice versa. Swanson’s slow start shouldn’t be cause for concern — unless it carries over into the season.Manager David Ross said he wasn’t worried about Swanson’s spring.“I don’t want to single out Dansby, but everybody in camp is always working ...
