Cubs - Signed Lilly
Chicago Cubs - Signed P Ted Lilly to a 4-year contract.
This is only $40 million. I’m surprised Lilly got this contract while Gil Meche and Vicente Padilla get contracts for more dough a year, and in Meche’s case, more years. It looks like the Cubs are going to take the correct mindsight with their rotation - go into the season with a Zambrano/Lilly/Hill 1-3 in the rotation and if they get anything from Mark Prior or Wade Miller, to consider themselves lucky.

Perhaps. The Cubs have been rumored to still be interested in another starter (Jennings, Bautista, and Marquis are the only guys left). I think about 200IP of averagish pitching from Prior/Miller is somewhat reasonable, but still optimistic. They could work their way through Guzman/Marshall/Marmol/Mateo for one of the spots, but I don't think that fits with the new goal of winning the WS next season. In other words, none of them impressed enough last year to really get much of a shot this season. We'll see. I think they're hoping to fill one of those spots with Prior/Miller/kids. It's probably going to be a good enough rotation as long as Marquis isn't that last guy they sign.
No, but I haven't seen the Cubs linked to him anywhere. And I know they'd have to trade (presumably a lot) to get Jennings, but there have been multiple reports linking the Cubs to him. I also didn't include Zito, who the Cubs also appear to be steering clear of.
