Steve9347 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 White Sox signed LHP Doug Davis to a minor league contract. Davis was released by the Cubs at the end of June after posting a 6.50 ERA over nine starts. The veteran left-hander will provide depth at the Triple-A level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) Seriously? Why not just promote from within to AAA? This is just stupid. We have four lefties in the pen better than this turd. He won't ever see the MLB roster, and if he does... Edited July 15, 2011 by maggsmaggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 In the event that 2-3 starters are traded we now have another warm body to fill the spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Can I have that contract please? They'd probably get the same value if it was me pitching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 I find it comical that management didn't even think damage of the jokes being made at their expensive might outweigh the bombs given up by Davis in Charlotte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Thinking about this a bit more - I wonder if this is insurance in the case should Peavy be unable to continue and a starter is dealt. Never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never know. We have..... Peavy-Danks-Buehrle-Floyd-Jackson-Humber-Santiago and now Davis as back-up. We have 8 starters. Either Kenny is just stockpiling for next year when we lose Buehrle and Jackson, or he is planning on trading multiple starters in the next couple weeks.
