Even if Sammy is still on the squad, I still think we are going to compete. The starting pitching is still one of the best in baseball, and with Nomar, Ramirez, Lee, Patterson, and Barret I think this club can make some noise in the central.. and who knows, maybe Dempster will work out as a closer, maybe the bullpen will be more solid this year, and there is even a chance that shammy could have a break out year. He is in his contract year, so I have high hopes for the cubbies, and although they might not make the playoffs, I am positive they atleast finish about .500 again and that in itself is something to be happy about if your a Cubs fan.
