Of course, being the Cubs, they'll likely finally get tired of all those "repair projects" and decide Prior is the one where they'll take a stand and say, "NO MORE!" Figures.
The only thing I dislike about Pie is how his delicious name always makes me crave some delicious baked goods every time I see it, and I can't eat said baked goods due to my diet. DAMN YOU, PIE!!!
I get pissed when Ohman screws up, but I have no sympathy for a manager who doesn't understand how to use his bullpen. Ohman is a very good LOOGY. Use him as that and only that. Anything else and you're asking for trouble.
Jason Marquis disagrees, Z is number 4 right now :D That argument can definitely be made. My desire to trade Z aside, I doubt that will last. He will not, however, out-pitch Hill year, and I could see him and Lilly being a wash comparison-wise.
Hill is, in my opinion, the obvious ace of this team now. Hell, Lilly is outpitching Z by a wide margin. I know the schedule ends becoming somewhat superfluous when it comes to what number each guy is, but hell, Z is the #3 pitcher right now.
