I still think he is to talented to not use as a starter just because the Cubs tried to avoid the TJS for three years when it was apparent that he needed it.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Guzman looked good when he came back last year and by all accounts was lights out in winter ball. I think he'll definitely will make the team and could be a valuable late inning or swing guy. The fact that he's gone through tommy john might actually help his arm for a while.

I think Guzman could be a valuable long reliever. He doesn't have the durability to be a starter so early relief role might be a nice place to put him.
