He won 18 games in 07 and he's only 26. Expect him to contend for the NL Cy Young this season. The Cubs pitching staff had the second lowest ERA in the NL last season and they are all coming back. They also had more strike outs than any other NL staff. Having said all of that they could use another top of the rotation starter, a solid number 2. Joe Blanton or Eric Bedard could really help solidify this team's shot at an NL pennant. You are right about Pie in center he is probably the biggest question mark for the team coming into the season. Zambrano is an ace. He won 18 games in 07 and he’s only 26.
