Cubs-Maddux Redux?

The Cubs appear to be interested in Greg Maddux as the 5th starter. He made $14.75M last year and so if the Cubs could get him for $3-4 million that would be OK. You can rely on him to eat up some innings, stay healthy, and keep in you in alot of ballgames.

It would be nice for him to get his 300th win in Chicago where he got his first 95 and finish out his career in Chicago as well. I hope they do pick him up. He went 16-11/3.96 last year but gave up 225 hits in 218 innings. Only 33 walks of course which kept his runners down and his opponents OBA to .299. He also gave up more homeruns than ever before (24) resulting in an opponents slug of .420 so is there some substantial risk involved.
