With Matt Garza about a week or two away from coming off the disabled list, and rejoining the Chicago Cubs starting rotation, the talk has been ongoing about who should be bumped when he returns.

Following an incredibly disappointing season in 2012, the Chicago Cubs are off to a slow start this year. They are currently 9...
No setbacks for Cubs' Matt Garza, July trade still possible

The Matt Garza trade, revisited
Bruce Miles has a piece looking back at the Matt Garza trade over at The Daily Herald. I still go back and forth on the trade myself.

Another Matt Garza setback and what to do with Scott Feldman
Matt Garza's rehab start was scratched the other day due to soreness in the arm. It's being called dead arm, which is common for players. It's especially common for those coming back from an injury.

Garza recently has had bone-related issues with...
