Piniella: Zambrano will start the opener

http://www.cubs.com

Carrie Muskat has written another article.  In it she outlines the following points:

  1. "Big Z" will start on opening day, 2007.
  2. Center field is still, of course, open.
  3. As many as eight guys will compete for five spots in the rotation.  Wood is not one of them.
  4. Piniella will stress "fundamentals."
  5. The Cubs will put in long hours in Mesa.
  6. A player who misses the 25-man roster but performs well probably will be called up later.
All of this (except for CF) sounds good to me, but what does BCB think?  

It should be an interesting weekend at the Convention/Cubbie Love Fest.  I'll admire it all from afar.
