With Jackson and Villanueva (cross your fingers) possibly on board, I wonder how big of a play we'll continue to make for J.P. Howell.  I hate pigeonholing Travis Wood for full time relief already, but his lefty/righty splits are pretty distinct and would play well in a LH setup role.  Plus signing Howell does crowd out guys like Rosario that I think we'd like to keep. 
 
If the Cubs go into next season with the pitching staff as it would be constructed with Jackson and Villanueva, I'd be more than content with that.
