They are still banking on Prior being that #2, even though they lead us to believe they considered him a #5 or #6 going into the Winter. All Marquis has to do along with Lily is get us 5 or 6 strong innings, we have a strong enough pen to finish it out. Money is probably about right in this market but no way should we have gone 3 years. 2 tops... perferably with the second being an option. However, I think that the Cubs look at it this way... they have Z, Hill, and Lilly and then a competition between Miller, Prior, Marquis, and whatever youngsters are looking good in spring for the final two spots. I also believe that, while they are not counting on Prior, hence 5 other starters, they do beleive that if he comes back healthy he will be no worse than a #2 type starter.
