Lineup, rotation changes likely will be minimal.(Chicago Tribune)
CHICAGO _ Remember Shane Andrews and Willie Greene? How about bullpen stalwarts Rick Aguilera, Daniel Garibay, Matt Karchner, Brian Williams, Steve Rain and Jamie Arnold?
The 2000 Cubs weren't a team; they were a trivia question.
So the Cubs disbanded the group that won 65 games in favor of the 2001 team, which can finish with 90 victories if it closes out the season going 5-1 against National League doormats Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.
The 2002 Cubs will bear a close resemblance to this year's model, but there remain intriguing questions at second base, shortstop, left field and in the starting rotation.
Plus there's the matter of who's in charge. Andy MacPhail, the team president who added the title of general manager in July 2000, will announce shortly after the season whether he will step aside as GM in favor of right-hand man Jim Hendry.
MacPhail has excelled as GM, trading for Rondell White, Bill Mueller, Fred McGriff and Michael Tucker. For those players he gave up nothing more than injured lefty Scott Downs, serviceable reliever Tim Worrell and four mid- to low-level prospects.
MacPhail might be criticized for dealing Ruben Quevedo to obtain Milwaukee's David Weathers, but Weathers was needed to strengthen the bullpen and the Cubs believe Quevedo is no better than a No. 4 starter.
