The Bulls seem to be the best bet as of today, but on the other hand, I think a lot of teams in the East have improved, while the Bulls seem to be sticking with the status quo. Maybe we should add a "none of the above" option to the poll. :Afro2:

No I agree I think the Bulls do have a really good shot....all our other teams...no way!  I think the Bears are close to having to rebuild again soon, thats the funny thing about the NFL, one year you can be awsome and the next crappy, injuries usually contribute to this big time.

Think about it.... Harris with his 2nd major injury in the last 2 years, is this a sign of things to come?...Mike Brown is done after being injured last 3 years..... our O line is old, we still have no QB now...our Running back by all accounts looks soft....and Briggs will be gone after this year.

Looks like a possible Rebuilding on the horizon to me.

I think the Cubs are an OF'er and a relief pitcher away from being a serious contender. I just hope the new owner(s) are not just looking for somewhere to invest a billion $.

Agreed on Cubs and Bulls. Gotta say Cubs for now.

As for Tommie Harris reports say his injury is coming along and he may only miss one game, he's doubtful for Detroit.

That would work too.

Could you imagine the top of the lineup?

1. Soriano
2. Lee
3. Arod
4. Aram

That a legit 130 HR's per season, not including your #5 hitter.

Amen.  He would give us a sick lineup and a real good shot at winning a championship if we were able to add a LHRP, and maybe another solid starter to replace Marquis.

I like our rotation the way it is. Marquis not great, but he did win 12 games. Marshall and Hill will conitue to improve, especially Marshall. I'm not real keen on having 3 LH'ers though. If you could move either Hill or Marshall for a good RF or RH starter it might be smart move.

Marmol will be the closer next year, I have to believe. Maybe Dempster is better suited to be in the rotation?
