There are a couple of names on both lists that could make an impact for the Cubs this season. One is Mark Holliman. The Cubs young right-hander was just a walk away from a 7-inning perfect game in Double-A last year. Holliman will not over power hitters with his mid to upper 80's fastball (two and four-seam), can hit low 90's when necessary, but Holliman is all about command and features a curveball, slider and changeup.
