Joe Borowski

It is looking more like Jobo's job unless he starts to suck in Spring Training...

I still think that unless Jobo has a perfect spring, Latroy is Dusty's choice...

I picked up borowski I hope he gets the job

I figure Dempster is worth more than Borowski, it's said that he's the leading candidate for the closer's job and I don't doubt that... Hawkins is clearly perfect for a setup role and Borowski was awful as a closer last year even before the injury and the only good year he ever had wasn't fantastic. If nothing else, Dempster will be good for 10 wins and a decent ERA as the 5th starter in Chicago or 30-40 saves as closer. My bet is Borowski doesn't do much this year.

From cubs.com

"Ryan Dempster, projected to be the fifth starter in the Cubs' rotation, is scheduled to start Monday against the Chicago White Sox. The game will be broadcast on Comcast cable TV, and will be the second game for new broadcasters Len Kasper and Bob Brenly. The Cubs and White Sox will meet again Friday in Tucson. ... Joe Borowski pitched one inning Sunday, and retired the side."

Looks like it's Jobo who is going to be closing at opening day.
