[TakeMeOutToTheBallGame]

Well heres my guess based on the latest info we've got...

 

Pitchers

Z

Lilly

Demp

Hill

Marquis

Wood

Marmol

Howry

Lieber

Wuertz

Hart

Piggy/Marshall

 

Catchers

Soto

Blanco

 

Infielders

Lee

DeRosa

Theriot

Ramirez

Ward

Cedeno

Fontenot

 

Outfielders

Soriano

Pie

Fukudome

Murton

 

I would've thought Patterson over Fontenot since he can play outfield, but Lou seemed to indicate Patterson was the odd man out. Still, I'd be suprised if Fontenot or Cedeno wasn't off this list and replaced with a back up CF acquired later this week.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I think one of Cedeno or Fontenot (most likely Cedeno) will be replaced by a newly signed Reed Johnson.

[jmajew]

If we sign Reed Johnson my guess is Murton will be traded prior to opening day. DeRosa will still be the super-sub eventhough he will be considered the starting 2b. Fontenot can back up Theriot and Patterson gives us more versatility than Cedeno since he can also play the OF.

The title of this thread scared the crap out of me. I thought for sure the Cubs had picked up So Taguchi.

And I thought it was a thread about recommendations for hotels and transportation while in Chicago.

Ditto.

So now that Johnson is officially signed and Patterson in Iowa I guess the final bench spot is between Cintron, Fontenot and Cendeno. With Cedeno out of options, I'm guessing he gets the spot.

I'm not so sure. I think the team may value Fontenot a bit more. I also wonder if the team might consider only taking 11 pitchers in order to keep both Fontenot and Cedeno on the team.
