Sullivan says Silva and Gorzelanny in the rotation with Samardzija and Marshall in the pen. They want to keep both Millar and Tracy, but aren't willing to put Nady on the DL, and may opt to keep Fuld over Colvin because they want Colvin to get playing time.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
This bench can not work, unless they only carry six pitchers in the bullpen. With the seven pitchers in the pen, we only have room for five bench players. Millar, Tracy, Nady, and Fuld can not all make the team. Not unless Baker is going to be cut or traded.

I was literally about to post the same thing, but then I re-read: I think Sully is saying the Cubs *want* to keep both Millar and Tracy, but since they won't DL Nady, they realize they can't carry both.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
They can if they only go with Nady on the bench for the OF, which would be a mistake. Sure, Fukudome can play CF if Byrd cant go with Nady in RF, but I still don't like that Nady cant make full throws from the OF. Millar and Tracy "CAN" play the corners in the OF, but I wouldn't be comfortable with them spending more than an inning out there at a time.

Sullivan's comment sounded as though Fuld or Colvin would take one of the spots - thus, no Tracy <i>and </i>Millar. That's all I'm saying.
