Default Ted Lilly rejoins Cubs
As special assistant to president/general manager.
Lilly will spend time with the club during spring training, visit the minor league affiliates during the season, evaluate amateur players leading up to the draft and perform professional scouting assignments.

Was Ted Lilly popular? I always thought he was waaaay behind guys like Zambrano, Soriano, Ramirez, Lee, Wood, even Marmol.
