What can we make of the roster?

Well 2 more days till the Cubbies play ball. A few questions come to my mind: 1. Freddie Bynum, a younger Jerry Hairston. Since Walker was named as the starting 2nd baseman we have a log jam of utility guys, with Neifi, Freddie and Jerry taking up roster spots unless they start Bynum in Iowa. Is there a deal in the works w/Hairston? My gut tells me if the Cubs tank April, you'll see a shake up pretty quick. 2. With the schedule in April being somewhat easy, who will take the fifth spot in the rotation? I'm all for keeping Williams in long relief. Bring up Guzman after his 2 starts in April for Iowa and let the kid fire. 3. Do you think Pierre is a rental?
Be a shame to give up two prospects for a year of service. 4. Will the Lee deal get done? 5. Prior comes back before June? Scares me as my team has more questions then answers coming into the 06 season. Thanks for your time.
