12/15 Cubs pitching & rumors

You can never have enough pitching but the Cubs may have too much. Teams
will likely start calling GM Jim Hendry about some of the arms on his
roster. With Casey Coleman, Chris Carpenter and Chris Archer on the way
up, plus the possibility that Andrew Cashner could move to the rotation,
the Cubs have a surplus. FoxSports.com’s Ken Rosenthal said
pitching-needy teams unable to land Matt Garza from the Rays or Zack
Greinke from the Royals might inquire about Tom Gorzelanny, Randy Wells
or Carlos Silva.

Rosenthal also says the Cubs are willing to
trade Kosuke Fukudome, who is in the final year of his three-year deal.
However, manager Mike Quade said during the Winter Meetings he’s
prepared to rotate Fukudome with Marlon Byrd, Alfonso Soriano and Tyler
Colvin to keep everyone healthy and fresh.
