The comments from Mets fans there seem to be extremely down on him being a starter / seem to think it would be a very bad idea for the Cubs to use him that way.
The only glimmer is the 'change of scenery' thing, and the comment from one of them that Rick Petersen might be to blame for screwing around with him.
I like that we have Marshall, Samardzija and Heilman (and others even) to battle it out for that spot - really think there could be a good chance one of them catches fire. That would be sweeeet.
