Coming to Chicago in 2007?

Here's a list of pitchers who would look good in a Cubs uniform who are potential free agents after the 2006 season:

Jason Schmidt
Barry Zito
Mark Mulder
Kelvim Escobar
Ted Lily
Andy Petitte
Doug Davis

Hopefully, Hendry & Co. will see the need for securing veteran backups for both Prior & Wood in the event that they should once again prove unavailable for the start of the season. Then again, Cubs Mgmt. has for the 2004, 2005 & 2006 seasons counted on those pitchers on being more or less fully healthy and consistently failed to come up with a contingency plan any better than having 3 rookies as starters.
