So it begins...
So Jeromy Burnitz is now officially a Cub (and Sammy an Oriole). This gives the Cubs a projected lineup looking something like this:
1. Patterson-CF
2. Walker-2B
3. Nomar-SS
4. Ramirez-3B
5. Burnitz-RF
6. Lee-1B
7. Hollandsworth-LF
8. Barrett-C
Obviously, there's the chance that Hairston will be so good in spring training that he'll win the LF job and bat leadoff, moving Patterson down to 7th. Right now though, I see Hairston either playing the supersub role (and if that means less PT for Macias, good) or possibly being moved with DuBois in a trade for a more established left fielder. Either way, I don't think the offense will be a major problem.
The question is, can one of the 15,000 relief pitchers that we are bringing to camp close games?
