When Greater Men are girding their loins for battle, Jim Hendry shops the cutout bins

Wade Miller is a Cub.

For those fans of the Jim Hendry Annual Reclamation Project (2003 - Mike Sirotka, 2004 - Ryan Dempster, 2005 - Scott Williamson) 2006 is the Year of the Wade.

Perhaps Miller will be able to fill us in on the AssTrolls secret signs, and pre-game superstitions, since he himself claims he won't be back from labrum repair surgery until May, which means he won't throw a pitch until mid-July, and won't be effective until 2007.

So, fine, now we have our replacement when Maddux leaves. We still need another starter.
