How much better can the Cubs be?

So many questions to be answered this season. Can Kerry Wood and Mark Prior ever be effective pitchers again? Will both end up in the bullpen? Will Alfonso Soriano make the adjustment to center field? How many
home runs will he add to Chicago's total? 35? 40? 50? Can the Cubs move from worst to first and capture the NL Central crown? If you have answers to any of these questions, please comment.

The Cubs spent a lot of money this off-season, but I cant look at that team and say, "Wow, they are going to win the Central". The central is one of the better divisions in baseball in my opinion and is only getting better. I would also expect the wildcard to come out of the east this season.
What do I think the chances of the Cubs making the postseason are? 40%

You might be right in that Kerry Wood and Mark Prior are now known to be non-factors. But the Cubs have firepower at the plate and still a pretty decent staff headed up by Zambrano. They should be a factor come September.
