Cubs Campers - 29 Pitchers (So Far)

As we sit about one month from that magical day (Pitchers and Catchers Report), it's time to take stock of the Cubs' pitching roster. Al just posted a list of non-roster invitees at BCB, which includes seven pitchers. Adding in a Rule 5 pick, a couple trade acquisitions and the rest of the 40-man roster, the Cubs will have 29 pitchers in the big league camp in February.

Over the next couple weeks I'll be covering each group listed below (with some mixing and matching, groupings subject to change), along with any new additions and Hendry trolls the markets. Check back here for a list'o'links as I create the posts.

Oh my! I almost completely forgot about Parisi!

What are his prospects of sticking with the team now that we've added Carlos "Terrible at Baseball" Silva?

I think they went from decent to mediocre.
