 | | SP Matt Clement, 30 GS, 9.45 K/9, 3.68 ERA: The Cubs would have been in a bad way without Clement managing to start 30 games; with Kerry Wood and Mark Prior managing only 259 innings between them “the best fifth starter in baseball” became a third starter. |
 | | Without Clement the Cubs are relying on Glendon Rusch–who posted only one better-than-average ERA in his career before 2004–to fill out their rotation. |
 | | The Cubs took the Matt Morris approach to rehab after he returned, keeping him in the bullpen, and liked what they saw. |
