Patterson was sent to minor league camp today, so I guess that's a safe assumption.

[BigbadB]

Isn't Fontenot still in play somewhere?

 

I sure hope Patterson will be playing 2b at Iowa.

I sure hope Patterson will be playing 2b at Iowa.

 

I'm going to guess they start with:

 

Blanco

Cedeno

Fontenot

Johnson

Ward

 

Cintron will be on the DL and will replace whichever young backup MI plays worse by May.

What do they do with Murton? Since they have Lieber to eat innings out of the pen, I could see sanity prevail and the Cubs start with an 11 man pitching staff with Hart sent to AAA.

He'll be traded for a young pitcher who is coming off an arm injury who throws hard and can't throw strikes.

I agree, the club looks pretty solid as is, and with the aforementioned Johnson/Patterson doings it looks even more solid.
