PROJECTED DEPTH CHART

It seems the Cubs are now done assembling their 2013 cast for the League of Gentlemen Journeymen.
There still has to be two roster moves to add Scott Hairston and Carlos Villaneuva to the team with one possible utility infielder and one bullpen reliever added during spring training (which means Clevenger and Rusin/Raley/McNutt will be DFA'd). I expect Baker to start the season on the DL, and Garza may also miss some action too.

Here is the current projected depth chart:

OUTFIELD
LF     Soriano                  CF        DeJesus        RF   Schierholtz
                                                     Sappelt                 Hairston

INFIELD

3B     I. Stewart               SS     Castro           2B  Barney           1B  Rizzo
         Valbuena                                                      Lillibridge

C     W. Castillo
        Navarro

ROTATION

       E. Jackson        Samardzija       Garza     T. Wood     Feldman   
                                                                          Baker       

BULLPEN

      C. Villaneuva   J. Russell     Fujikawa      Marmol   Rondon   Camp  Takahashi
