Davis was a two-way star at Belmont, and could be a solid relief prospect.

Lukewarm Stove: Minor Matt Garza Tidbit
I recognize that this is now bordering on an Obsessive Matt Garza Watch (or is it OMGarza?), but there’s precious little going on right now, and trade rumors are always interesting – no matter how tenuous or uninformative. As for Garza, the latest news out of Tampa Bay is that the Rays are expected to [...]
Uh Oh: Zack Greinke Traded to Brewers
The Chicago Cubs weren’t going to acquire Zack Greinke, but we were hoping no other NL Central team would get him. Unfortunately, the Brewers just did. Former Cy Young Award winner Zack Greinke has been traded to the Milwaukee Brewers, sources told ESPN The Magazine’s Buster Olney on Sunday morning. In the deal, the Brewers [...]
Return of Kerry Wood Could Mean Big Things for Andrew Cashner
We’ve already speculated that, with Kerry Wood setting up Carlos Marmol from the right side, Andrew Cashner would get a chance to move from the pen to the rotation (where he could be vastly more valuable to the Cubs). And it sounds like that may very well be the case. But that might not even [...]
Lukewarm Stove: Might the Cubs Consider Dealing Randy Wells or Tom Gorzelanny if They Land Matt Garza?
The Chicago Cubs continue to pursue pitching options such as Tampa Bay starter Matt Garza, who is more likely to move now that Cliff Lee has signed. The question remains: for a team with a theoretical glut of starting pitching, what happens to the other starters if the Cubs add a guy like Garza? [The [...]
Just to Add a Little Wood to the Matt Garza Fire
Another source says (1) the Tampa Bay rays are “certain” to trade Matt Garza this winter, and (2) probably to the Chicago Cubs, according to Ed Price. Unfortunately for Cubs fans, the Rays really like Andrew Cashner, Brett Jackson, Chris Archer, and Hak-Ju Lee – in other words, literally the Cubs’ four best young pieces. Would [...]
Lukewarm Stove: Brandon Webb, Jeff Francis, and Andrew Cashner Still in Consideration for Rotation
The Winter Meetings kick off today, though the weekend certainly had a Winter Meeting feel to it, with rumors and transactions flying. The Chicago Cubs will be among the more active teams at the Meetings – in terms of discussions, at least. With very little money to spend, and a number of holes to fill, [...]
Lukewarm Stove: Chicago Cubs Might Look at Jon Garland
The Chicago Cubs’ rotation at present figures to feature Carlos Zambrano and Ryan Dempster for sure, but the other three spots are somewhat up in the air. Randy Wells is a near lock, and if Tom Gorzelanny remains with the Cubs, he’ll hold a spot, too. Carlos Silva, Sean Marshall, Jeff Samardzija, Andrew Cashner, Jay [...]
Kent Sterling Says the 2011 Cubs Are Doomed – And It’s Hard to Argue
By Brett on November 11, 2010
A couple years ago, Kent Sterling of ESPN Radio wrote a piece on why the 2009 Chicago Cubs would not win. Recall, the 2008 iteration of the Cubs had won 97 regular season games, and looked as good as any team in baseball (until that whole “playoffs” thing, but memory has a way of self-protection), [...]
