Wade Miller looked like the Wade Miller of old posting 3 hits and 5 strikeouts over 5 innings and making a strong case to make the starting rotation for the Chicago Cubs. Miller hasn't completed a full season since 2003 due to injuries. He's trying to put that all behind him and start fresh with his talented arm. If he remains healthy, he'll be a key member of the Chicago pitching staff and a dangerous pitcher to opposing lineups. He's capable of consistent pitching and posting an ERA in the 3's. A great pitcher to pitch behind Carlos Zambrano in the rotation.
Aramis Ramirez seems poised to continue his dangerous hitting into the 2007 season, hitting .333 with 5 home runs and 12 runs batted in this spring. Ramirez in his 3 years with the Cubs has averaged 35 home runs and 105 RBIs. With Derrek Lee completely recovered from his wrist injury and the addition of Alfonso Soriano to the lineup, this could give the protection that Ramirez was missing last season. Even though, Ramirez posted 38 home runs and 119 RBIs, which isn't too shabby, in 2006, he may improve on those figures in 2007 by getting a better selection of pitches to hit.
