- Jay Jackson has a live arm and could make the club out of Spring Training.
- Bruce thinks the White Sox have a better chance at the playoff than the Cubs "at this point."
- The Cubs have no plans to switch Sean Marshall to the rotation. James Russell will be given a chance.
- Starlin Castro leading off for the Cubs is within the realm of possibility. Baker, Kosuke and DeWitt are other candidates.
- The Cubs will continue to be one of the slowest teams in the majors.
- The Cubs will not trade Geovany Soto, but if they are having another bad season Carlos Marmol could be dealt.
- Levine does not think Samardzija has been handled very well.
- Bruce does not expect a sophomore slump out of Starlin Castro. He should be much improved on defense.
- If Aramis Ramirez plays well, the Cubs will consider picking up his $15 million option. Otherwise, they'll have to pay a $1 million buyout.
- Mark Riggins is a new voice but he has lots of experience. Bruce expects him to be a good fit.
- The Cubs see Brett Jackson as their leadoff man and center fielder of the future.
- The consensus in the organization is that Trey McNutt has more upside than Chris Archer.
That's it for now, I'll keep you posted!
