Notes:

The Cubs are trying the old thing, again. Rondell White is the youngest player in the starting lineup and he turned 29 a couple of days ago. An old 29.
The lineup is about on par with Montreal's.
I think Corey Patterson will be a superstar, but only if the Cubs let him become one. Considering their track record for patience with young players, I'm not holding my breath.
Ross Gload's projection looks high, but his season took a dramatic upturn when he got to Iowa.
