Sullivan's Opening Day Lineup, The MLB Network, and a few rumors

Well, Paul Sullivan of the Tribune thinks the Cubs opening day lineup will look like this:
1. Aaron Miles 2B
2. Joey Gathright CF
3. Derrek Lee 1B
4. Aramis Ramirez 3B
5. Milton Bradley RF
6. Alfonso Soriano LF
7. Geovany Soto C
8. Ryan Theriot SS
9. Carlos Zambrano

I disagree. I think that there is no chance that Gathright will start. Here's what my lineup would be:
1. Ryan Theriot SS
2. Alfonso Soriano LF
3. Derrek Lee 1B
4.Aramis Ramirez 3B
5. Milton Bradley RF
6. Geovany Soto C
7. Mike Fontenot 2B
8. Reed Johnson CF
9. Ryan Dempster P

The MLB Network was great! The Hot Stove show that aired first was awesome! It made it feel like opening day even though it's only January.

Here is the latest Cubs Rumors:
  • The Sun Times reports that Sean Marshall is the top in house candidate to be the Cubs 5th starter. Jeff Samadzija is next in line.
  • The Tribune thinks that a combo platter of Ronny Cedeno, Felix Pie, Kevin Hart, Josh Vitter, and Jeff Stevens for Jake Peavy could interest San Diego .
  • Jon Heyman says that the Cubs next move will be to sign their right field target Milton Bradley.
  • The Washington Nationals have also made a push for Bradley.

I'll keep you posted.
