Official Cubs offseason thread

[CubHawk1237]

I'm starting to feel a little more optimistic about this year. I think we finally have a hitting coach that's worth a darn, and hopefully we stay healthier than last year. If Colvin plays half as good as he has this Spring, he will give Soriano, Byrd and Fukudome some much needed days off and keep them fresh for what's hopefully a postseason birth. I have the Cubs going 86-76, and below are my individual players predictions.

Pitching

Zambrano 16-11 3.99 ERA
Lilly 13-7 4.22 ERA
Dempster 17-8 3.84 ERA
Wells 10-11 5.09 ERA
Gorzellany 13-12 5.28 ERA

Marmol 2-3 2.11 ERA 41 Saves
Caridad 2-3 3.77 ERA
Grabow 1-3 2.67 ERA
Marshall 5-5 4.47 ERA
Samardzija 1-3 4.55 ERA
Silva 3-5 4.88 ERA
Russell 2-2 3.37 ERA
Berg 1-3 4.24 ERA

The pitching still makes me very nervous, but I guess that's most teams in MLB these days.

Cowboy Up is not the Cubbie way? Darn it. Chad Tracy instead.
