shnsajax is on point, the Cubs could use a SP with at least #3 stuff especially to get deep in the playoffs. The Cubs don't need another SP to make the playoffs, possibly a callup of Murton or another OF bat could be what the Cubs need to play in October. Livan is not the answer. It would be a lot like the Kendall acquisiton, a very slight upgrade of what the Cubs already have, not improving enough on the Cubs' immediate needs. I look at a seven game playoff series and wonder who the Cubs would pitch in the third game. I like Hill a lot but neither he, Marquis, nor Marshall has stepped up to fill that role, in my opinion. I would love the Cubs to pick up a SP and go for a World Series run and one guy that comes to mind is, and I hate to say it.....possibly Jon Garland? A little (and possibly stupid) rumor I heard on Sporting News Radio.
