That surprises me, given that Wuertz - after almost 4 full seasons in the majors - spent a lot, if not most, of last year in the minors. Over $1 million is surprising and I'd have almost guessed they'd have non-tendered him.

I think he gets traded before the season starts. He's a relative bargain, doesn't have a future with the Cubs, and we're overloaded with righty relievers.

I actually think Wuertz can be valuable. he goes on streaks where he is pretty unhittable. He has a filthy sinker thank he throws that can force guys to hit in double plays. That said, he also go through stretches where he completely sucks.
