Cubs name closer, starters

Cubs announced that Kerry Wooder would be the closer Monday. They also announced that Ryan Dempster and Jason Marquis will be the 4th and 5th starters.

I'm not sure that Dempster is the wisest choice for a starting pitcher. I'd prefer to see Lieber in a starting role.

Cubs play their first official game March 30 at home. Let's hope it's a warm one folks. Chicago weather in March can be downright "blisterly."
