It might sound ridiculous, but giving Dylan Floro a chance to start would make sense for the Chicago Cubs. Floro, 26, made his Cubs debut Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies. He gave up just one run on six hits in 4.1 innings, striking out five.
In January, the Cubs claimed Floro off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays, quite the minor pickup. Before joining the Cubs, Floro appeared in just 12 games (15 IP) with the Rays, going 0-1 with a 4.20 ERA (all last season).
Though he has mostly pitched as a reliever with Triple-A Iowa, Floro has started plenty during his career.
