Cubs Zimmer feels confident this time around
Cubs manager Don Zimmer says he feels better about the 1990 club than last year as spring training nears. Outfield looks settled with Andre Dawson in right, Dwight Smith in left platooning with Lloyd McClendon, and Smith capable of moving to right if needed. Third base remains unsettled with Luiz Salazar, Doming o Ramos and Curt Wilkerson as options while the Cubs did not re sign Vance Law. Zimmer stressed the team did not shop Dwight Smith and aims to add two top starting pitchers to back Sutcliffe, Maddox and Bielecki.
