I think that Marmol could be an excellent starting pitcher. If Hill gets traded for Bedard, why not consider Carlos the 4th starter?

Glad that no CURRENT Cubs players were named. =D> Go Cubbies in 07!

You're talking about a man who has devoted most of his professional life to public service. He chose to go to Ireland to broker a peace deal, rather than accept a lifetime apptment to the U.S. Supreme Court, b/c of his call for service. I wouldn't be so quick to judge Mitchell as out for publicity.

Really happy that Wood is not on it. =D>

Or how about not trading for him at all. I think DeRosa is perfectly cabable of handling second base. See, in my world they flip a coin and one of them plays shortstop. Can't be that much worse than Riot and the offense would make up for however much it is. Plus you'd hopefully have a better defender on the roster for late inning lead holds. I hear what you're sayin', but I don't want any ROIDS/HGH users on my team. If they've been a cheater, don't trade for them. And if Wood is really on the list, I'd trade him. Marmol can close instead.

Thank you. Let's go with the confirmed list.

I wouldn't trade for Roberts anymore.

I'm still hoping that Wood's not on it....waiting to see the confirmed, published list. I am happy that no other current Cubs are on it. If Roberts is on the final list, I don't think we should trade for him.

I don't think we have the confirmed list yet....

Has it been confirmed yet that Wood is on the list?

They may also be thinking of Fuld as a backup plan to Pie.....Fuld could be a stopgap for Colvin in their eyes. I think Pie's gonna step it up this year though.

I'd rather sign Rowand than Hunter, and probably Jones too considering how much he'll cost. Here's hoping we get Fukudome though.

maybe ward should start in right and soto and ward should hit 3rd and 4th :?

Will it be this? Pitchers (11) Zambrano Lilly Hill Dempster Howry Marmol Wood Wuertz Eyre Marshall (or Marquis)...the longman, just in case Hart (or Ohman)...Marshall can be the second lefty in place of Ohman Infield (6) Lee Ramirez Theriot DeRosa Fontenot Cedeno Outfield (6) Soriano Jones Floyd Murton Ward (If he can't go, then Monroe gets the nod) Pie Catcher (2) Soto Kendall
