I envision pretty much the same team next year, with only a few noticeable changes (if the Cubs win it all). A lefty reliever to replace Howry. Pie replacing Edmonds in CF, but platooning with Johnson. Resign Blanco, Wood, Dempster If the Cubs do not win it all, I could see a few FA signings by the new ownership group letting Cub fans know they intend to win.
