Cubs looking at Kris Benson

I heard the Cubs are one of a few teams looking at Kris Benson. Kris Benson missed most of the past two seasons with injuries so he is holding a workout to show teams he is healthy and ready to pitch again. The other teams rumored to be attending the work out are the Diamondbacks and Rangers. Benson is 34 years old and last pitched in the majors with the Orioles in 2006 where he went 11-12 with a 4.86 ERA over 30 starts and 183 innings. He has a career ERA of 4.34 with a 68-73 record.

The only thing is he would be much cheaper than Jason Marquis, but I agree. I would rather go with some of our young guys.
