Paul Maholm has had no issues with his pitching shoulder this spring. Maholm missed the final six weeks of the 2011 season because of a strained shoulder, but he's felt totally healthy this spring other than a bout with the flu. ''I did what I was supposed to do in the offseason. I rested, rehabbed,'' he said. ''Ever since I started throwing, it's felt great. It feels normal. The strain wasn't a serious thing. My shoulder feels a little bit stronger. I'm still not going to blow up the radar gun, but to me it feels good.'' Maholm will be the Cubs' No. 3 starter this season.
