Cubs Notes, Sprrng Training

This is notes on the Cubs front:

According to the Tribune, Aaron Miles will be back in a couple games due to a soar back.

According to the Tribune, Corey Koskie is at camp but might not play for a couple games.

According to Bruce Levine, Jose Ascaino's stock is raising while Chad Gaudin's stock is falling.

Bruce Miles says Mike Fontenot has all but lock up the second base starting job.

Lou Pinella said that Sean Marshall is the favorite to win the 5th spot in the rotation. This is the quote said:
"He has done absolutely nothing to hurt his chances," Piniella said. "He's throwing the ball as well as I've seen him throw it. He came in here as the front-runner and, truthfully, he hasn't lost that status."

Hot Stove Cubbies said that the Cubs were offered Nick Swisher for Kosuke Fukudome. I am happy Jim Hendry never did that because Swisher has low average and Kosuke can hit in the 380's, more speed and a better defender.
