Doug Davis to join the rotation

[Sammy Sofa]

How is that even relevant? It's $900k for one season.

And it's not.(Or it already was)

I want to see Doug Davis throw an eephus pitch. I don't think he's ever thrown an eephus before, but he just seems like the type of pitcher that should.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I just hope he still has that creepy landing strip on his chin.

The whole thing was drawn up on an unfolded Krispy Kreme box.

I don't understand the concern about Davis getting a start. Somebody like him should have been around a month ago.

Prior strained his groin after he and Davis were rubbing vaginas in between simulated games.

900K or not, I just don't see the need for hand wringing over Doug Davis. Davis has been a serviceable starter over his career. I don't think he will in any way impede Cashner returning to the rotation, unless there are concerns about Cashner's well being.

 

I don't expect much from Davis, but he probably can't be any worse than Russell. We need to do something about that fifth spot, and Davis if nothing else, has been a soild pitcher when healthy. Considering the other options available, I'm not going to get upset over Davis in the rotation.

 

And if he pitches well, he can replace Coleman in the rotation when the first of Wells/Cashner comes back.

It also wouldn't be a bad idea to keep him around as the 7th bullpen arm in case we need a spot start here or there and then don't need to either force everyone to watch another Russell start or make a roster move to bring up Coleman to get shelled.

This.

I'm not sure what Jay Jackson has done to be considered an option at this point.

When are they scheduled to come back? :beg:

After yesterdays...eh hem...performance by Coleman, I officially conceed that any amount or production from Davis will be well worth the 900K.
