Ramblings
of a mad man. Cubs, 2007. Unexpected happenings. Wood ends up not as closer but a starter. Soriano ends up at 2nd base. Pie is the center fielder. Isturiz has steller season. Murton hits 25 homeruns and drives in 90. Lee is Lee and Ram is Ram. Carlos, well again he will win 16. Barrett still can not throw anyone out, but will hit his 16 HR and drive in his 56 rbi's. DeRosa ends up where he should be, a utility player. Hill will look great at times, and awful at times. He will become the Cubs version of Grossman. Good Hill, bad Hill. Marquis will quiet all the fans already calling for his head. Jones will continue to run the bases badly and still have a weak arm in the OF. Oh and hit his 20+ homers and drive in his 70+ runs.
Point I am trying to make is this. The wonderful thing about baseball is that for all the banter, the speculation prior to the start of the season, you can be sure things will happen that no one or any of us can forecast. Bring on '07 and let the chips fall where they may!

I would be pleased with Soriano at second
Pie isn't going to be an elite outfielder. I'm quite sure he'll have some pretty decent/solid seasons, but at this point he is what he is. He's probably ready to come up now. I do think he'll be solid. This is actually the perfect time to test him out, since we have failsafes installed right now in case he doesn't play well. Once Jones is gone, and Pie is "the guy" I don't want to see him struggling mightily when he could have easily been brought up and tested this year.
