I always find it amusing when my posts turn into forecasts...
Yes, fans, the Cubs' pitching staff is being shuffled and redealt. Carlos Zambrano is back in the rotation, Tom Gorzelanny is back in the bullpen, John Grabow is out for the moment on the 15-day DL, and Andrew Cashner is up from Iowa, having successfully made his major league debut yesterday throwing a total of one pitch.
It still couldn't help them beat the Pirates, who have given the Cubs an extraordinary amount of trouble this season, but I find it comforting to see moves made when the team is stagnating.
And while I wouldn't count on it happening, I wouldn't mind seeing the Cubs take a chance on Dontrelle Willis if they can get the Tigers to eat most of his $12 million salary. Clearly the American League hasn't worked out for him, and I think it would be nice if he resurrected his career for the team that drafted him before sending him to Florida in the Matt Clement trade.
