This off season presents the Cubs many options. The Cubs need to strengthen their Bullpen (first and foremost), sign/trade-for one or two out-fielders, and decide whos at 2B and Short.

With the likes of Billy Wagner, B.J. Ryan, etc. on the Free-Agent market, the Cubs could get a great set-up man for Dempster, or turn Demp into a Set-up man. None of us want to hold our breath once the 7th, 8th, and 9th come around. It would obviously help the club if they had someone to pitch behind their starters. It would be really nice if starters, ie. Mark Prior, could co more than 6 in. a start. But, if the other teams had something to be scared of in the Bullpen, it would be a major boost.

Hideki Matsui and Johnny Damon are the only real Outfielders on the market. Although, either one of them would be a major boost to the Cubs Offence. Also Felix Pie sits in the ranks waiting for his Major League debut!

SS-Rafael Furcal, 2B-Tod Walker, LF-Nomar!!!(with a lot of adjustment)
