There's nothing the Cubs can do with the pitching staff for at least another year. They are stuck with Z and Demp. Garza is going to be the ace. 4-5 will be in house options.
2013 FA pitchers include Cain, Hamels, Greinke, Danks, Shields*, Haren*, Floyd*
*- club options.
Shields is most likely going to be traded. The Rays wont be able to afford him.
