Just for my good friend, Rambler: any early assesment of the Cubbies.

1B: Derrek Lee: Set here- I love this guy. I think he may be able to get back to his "near" triple crown season past...Hold on to him...
2B: I would have tried to hold on to DeRosa and made him a permanent ficture here. Oh well...let's see...how about moving Soriano back here? At least you would have a great hitting second sacker
SS: Hummm...is Ernie Banks too old to still play?
3B: Aramis Ramarez: Like Lee...a rock
OF: I would have loaved to have seen the Cubs sign Adam Dunn and watch him launch balls onto the avenues and roof tops...is Billy Williams too old? Seriously- you can do much better than what you have...at least you got rid of Bradley...how about Jermaine Dye as a one year solution? I would love to play in Wrigley- I can reach the bleachers.
C: Soto is servicable
P: Zambrano is a head case- but I think he may win the Cy Young one day...soon I HATE that you lost Harden...I keep waiting for a full season from him. Dempster and Lilly are a good 3-4. So who is your number two?
MGR: I love him!!! Nuff said.

You are just a few players away from a deep run for a title...feel better?
