I think his chances of making the team are real good. We've always professed to be in the 'earn it' business. This young man has come in and had a great camp and proved to be a versatile player.

Corey's still with us, and our obligation is to do what's best for the Cubs. If I felt putting him in a deal makes us better, I'd consider that. I would always keep in mind what's best for him, too, after our long relationship.
