I'm sorry, I see Clement and Zambrano as the studs you need. Wood is great but his ERA climbs also. Prior I would trade now for another young stud while I could get high value in return.
As for Sammy, trade him to Philly for that 1B they have in the minors that's a hr freakazoid or as I said before try to get Blalock from Texas. Sammy might be better off as a DH in the AL.
Sign Delgado and trade Lee for some relief pitching.
I think those are the Cubbies only chances after this year. I love Prior and Wood but their injuries worry me, especially Prior's and when you have a manager that doesn't know how to handle pitchers, like Baker, those "simple" injuries can turn more serious fast.[B]

I'm glad your not a GM of a team I like.
I could see Woo'ds problems, his is all mechanics, but calling this they last shot they have? Come on. Be realistic.
Pedro? Are you kidding me? Hell no. He's on the downside of his career, and just like everyone else who's played for shit teams his entire career with stellar success and numbers, he's going to be a Yankee next year. Woopdee fuggin doo. His shoulder could go at any time. Pedro is no more reliable then Prior or Wood. Schilling? That's almost laughable. Prior's mechanics are flawless, he's had a tough go this year, but he WILL be just fine, I promise you. Wood will be fine, his elbow problems this year were nothing, no MRI showed any damage. His ERA continues to climb because he's on short pitch counts, and he's really not heating up the arm. Don't worry, you'll see how good these guys are come October.
Halladay is on the 15 Day DL with Shoulder problems, again. He's 7-7 with a 4.xx ERA or so... No thanks. Cliff Lee, maybe - somthing to be said about a leftie who can win games. Somthing I think the Cubs have lacked for a long time. His ERA is still almost 5. Mulder, well, who woulden't want Mulder - or Hudson - both of em are studs. But not for Prior, or Wood. They could have Clement and Sammy though.
I hope your not talking about the 4-12 Brandon Webb?
As for Sosa, I'll HELP you pack his bags, Jobu.
The Cubs pitching will be just fine. I'm not a big Kerry Wood fan, but I think he's got alot of good years in him, alot of nasty stuff left to throw. It's his mechanics that are going to hurt him. Trading him however, isn't an option the Cubs have. He has WAY to much upside.
