    I agree, but then again look how the Twins developed Santana. Started him in the Pen, and gradually moved him into the staters role. I like Guzman in the long man right now. No reasons not to trust Lou and his coaches right now. Why would you keep the more talented pitcher in the role that keeps him from pitching, and have the inferioir pitcher affecting every 5th game? He may have talent, but he hasn't shown that he can get major league hitters out on a consistent basis. Perhaps Larry and Lou are working with him on putting hitters away more often. Doesn't he have to step it up and earn that number 5 spot? And what did Wade Miller do to "earn" the #5 spot? Doesn't he have to show he can get ML hitters out on a consistent basis? Wade Miller out-pitched him in ST. If Gooz was the better pitcher, he would've taking that number 5 spot.

    Yes, but no one said it can't be after a month or so of pitching out of the pen and then some spot starts to stretch out. This would allow a pitcher to adjust to the hitting at this level while working closely with the pitching coach. Then when it looks like he's got it, you Nobody said you can't put him right into the rotation. Other teams do that all the time. Guzman has already faced major league hitters, about 60 innings worth. There's no reason to arbitrarily hold him back because you fear exposing him to starting. You should start your 5 best starters, and Guzman is easily in that group for the Cubs. I wouldn't say easily. What has Guzman done that he easily should be in the starting 5?

    He looked pretty bad in Milw., but I'll allow more than one start before passing judgment. Agreed....

    Sounds like a sound plan.

    Is this turning into a running gag? :lol: What? Typing dominate instead of dominant. What's the difference? Grammar. "Dominate" is a verb. "Dominant" is an adjective. The initial post used "dominate" as an adjective. I know. I'm just playing around. I like to piss off grammar snobs. It's being a "snob" to just understand basic grammar? Come on. I guess it worked eh? :lol:

    NOPE! But we will see Carlos Lee! Arh!

    possibly because he's not hurt. He's fully healed but has no velocity and never will. rephrased: he's done. But as long as he's still under contract the Cubs will try whatever they can. Not saying this is true (in fact I don't think it is), but you asked for an alternate interpretation. The mystery that is Mark Prior continues. I'm just glad we don't have to rely on the enigma anymore...He only is intersting the same way a car accident is. No, in the same way that Ashton Kutcher having an actor demolish a brand new Cadillac Escalade just to play a joke on his friend who has a similar looking Escalade is. Pointless, painful, senseless. I hate Dusty. And Ashton Kutcher. I hate Dusty more...

    I agree. I just want to win. I have no problem with Lou putting out the best lineup and playing the hot hand. It's early in the season and you'd like ot get off to a good start. Murton will get playing time...

    I hope we see the same dominate Ted Lilly we saw in Cincy....He said he likes it cold, so welcome to Chi-Town Ted.

    Speaking of The Master's it's gotta be the best HD I've ever seen. Simply amazing!

    AGREED! And it's time to crack open a brew and get in game time mode. I think their theme song this season should be "Don't Let Me Down" by The Beatles How about "Seek and Destroy" - Metallica
