Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Silva gets a shot in the rotation just to try and get something out of the Bradley deal. If not him, I think Gorzo will win it.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I think there's next to no chance Fuld makes the team. Tracy or Millar will be there before him.

There is no way they go with 4 OF's, especially with one of them hurt. The only way Tracy or Millar make the team is if they start the year with 11 pitchers, and the only reason they make the team is to back up Lee, as Baker is going to back up Ramirez. Once Nady is healthy, he can back up Lee.

I'm assuming Tracy is able to play a corner spot.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
he can, but he's only needed at first. And that's only if Nady can't handle it.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I don't know about you, but I wouldn't mind having a decent left handed bench bat on the roster that could play 1b, 3b and OF.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Sure, if that's what he is. But who knows if he can still play any outfield (I seem to recall he was pretty awful out there when he did play, but I'm not sure about that), and he hasn't really hit in a a few years either. If we get Chad Tracy v. 2004-06, then he'd be perfect for this team. But I'm not we've got a spot for him if he hits like he has the last two years.

The thing you need to remember is that all Cardinals fans and all White Sox fans are very bad people. It's a fact that has been scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Being a Cubs fan is the only path to rightousness and piousness. Cardinal and White Sox fans exist to be the dark, diabolical forces that oppose us. They are the yin to our yang, the Joker to our Batman, the demon to our angel, the insurgence to our freedom, the oil to our water, the club to our baby seal. Their happiness occurs only in direct conflict with everything that is pure and good in this world.
