And i like Lilly,Hill both better than Zambrano. Their walk to strikeout ratio is way better than big Z's. And there era's were better too. Keep up the good work with your trade rumors, this is the first sight i go to when i log on.

I think we are set in the pen... although an additional proven lefty arm would be an upgrade over Cotts and I think its Pignatello? that will be fighin for the second lefty out of the pen slot.<BR/><BR/>For the Cubs to be real contenders in the playoffs... we definitely need a power #2 arm. But with whats available at this point I dont see anything happening until after the break.<BR/><BR/>That might actually work out in our favor. We will have taken advantage of Marquis ability to have great first halfs... while also seeing if Hill can continue his growth and develop into a legit, dominate #2.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00909889581099318748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-52261615609330500422008-01-20T12:54:00.000-06:002008-01-20T12:54:00.000-06:00We have 8 starting pitchers, Zambrano,Lilly,Marqui...We have 8 starting pitchers, Zambrano,Lilly,Marquis,Hill, Dempster,Marshall,Lieber,Gallagher. And 11 relief pitchers,Howry, Ascanio,Marmol,Wood,Eyre,Wuertz, Pignatiello,Hart,Lahey,Cotts, Takatsu. I think with all the teams looking for pitching we can make some trades. I'd like to up grade our starting pitching and find a short stop. Nick IAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
