On other news:

According to Cubs.com, Carlos Marmol has changed his mind and will play in the WBC.

Accorsing to the Chicago Sun-Times, the Cubs signed infielder Corey Koskie to a minor league contract. Koskie will compete for a backup job at third. Koskie will be at camp after the WBC because he is going to play for Canada in the WBC. The last time Koskie played was in 2006 with the Brewers. He did not play the last 2 years because he had bad concussions that kept him out. The only think left, he has to pass a physical.

According to David Whitley of the Orlando Sentinel, Curt Schilling wants to pitch this year and would either play for the Tampa Bay Rays or Chicago Cubs. Schilling said he broke the curse in Boston and wants to break the curse for the Rays and Cubs. Schilling sais he will know his decision if he wants to play again in the upcoming weeks. He also sid money is not the matter and that would be good for the Cubs who have a short budget.

This is some notes by Bruce Miles:

This is after he talked to Jim Hendry. Miles said Hendry is excited about adding Corey Koskie. Hendry said he likes the way Aaron Miles and Mike Fontenot are doing at thrid base. Miles said the Cubs have not got a call directly from Curt Schilling but are open to signing Schilling.

I will keep you postet.
