    I agree but I don't see Cotts being sent down. It would be like the Cubs admitting that the Sox got the better of the trade (although, Aardsma is in jeopardy of not making their team as well)--I heard Paul Sullivan make this point on the radio-- Cotts may be in the bullpen whether we like it or not. Hendry may force Lou's hand on this one. That would sorta go against the grain of everything Lou has been saying during Spring Training. He said he was going to take the best guys with him to Chicago. Cotts is not one of those guys right now. I'm sure Lou will give a strong recommendation for the players he wants but he doesn't make the final roster decisions.

    I just checked-Miller faced the entire Diamondbacks starting lineup (all 8 of them) last time out, and the time before that he faced about half the Padres hitters with the rest of them being their major league backups, not their minor leaguers (for example, Walker in for M. Giles). Yeah, you're right, I listened to those games. IIRC, he was helped a lot by his defense; Didn't he give up more hits than innings pitched (or was that Marquis)? I still think Guzman had a tougher lineup yesterday (and an inferior defensive team behind him). I hope Guzman has the benefit of pitching with all of the regulars in his next start.

    If Guzman doesn't step up in his next start, Lou may be forced to go with Miller. Although, I'm not sure about the quality of hitters Miller has faced (I'd like to see him oppose the Sox everyday lineup). IMO, Miller has very little upside. Guzman will be out of options next Spring. The Cubs should be working to cultivate his arm for use in the ML rotation instead of going with a retread like Miller! Some tough decisions will have to be made. There is bound to be a trade (or two) between now and the start of the season.

    Lou was unwilling to rank the 5th starter candidates after yesterday's game (he said he would prior to the game). To me, it signals that Lou wants to see more from Guzman even though he surrendered 5 ER in 3 1/3 IP and Miller hasn't given up as much as 5 earned runs in any of his starts. Bruce Miles/Daily Herald Suntimes With the words Lou used to describe Wade Miller, it's almost surprising that he didn't come out and say Miller was leading or had won the spot. Apparently, Lou is willing to give Guzman one last shot to show he can put away hitters. I think it's also fair to say that Lou knows the defense contributed to some of the runs that scored. Lou was not impressed: Cliff Floyd's playing time is in jeopardy and so is Theriot's at third base. :lol: The team also needs to work on throwing to the right base to keep runners from moving up...
