You forgot about Wade Miller, who I'm hoping with regain his form upon his return in late May. He could be a big boost to the rotation. That's true, and if Sean Marshall works out, then we will be in a very GOOD situation. . Zambrano, Wood, Miller, Maddux, Marshall. That's how I'm hoping it will work out right now. Because honestly the way Wood is progressing and the questions surrounding Prior I have more faith that Wood will come back and have a good year this year. Not so much Prior. If all works out we will finally have a good rotation this year! My point is there is more of a chance of it all working out THIS year because we GOT Miller, and we GOT a couple young guns showing some progress. This is exciting. . Prior is frustrating, but he still so young and the stuff is there. Take away the liner off the elbow last year and he was a stud. True but it's good to see the Cubs are moving beyond Prior and have some kids that look ready to step up.
