One of the Cubs starters is going to need a break soon enough so it would be great to have Tom in Iowa to come up for a spell with his arm already stretched out.
Teams maybe turned off by a guy who was hit in the pitching hand on his next to last start and then got shelled in his next start. Proving that he's healthy would make him a more attractive trade candidate.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That might be the best solution, if he still has options. But if he doesn't, it is a gigantic waste moving him into long relief, especially with so many lefties already in the pen. We have 2-3 other SPs in the minors who could be called up in case someone gets hurt, so it probably wouldn't be a major loss to trade Gorzelanny if there are any takers.
