Quote:What if any trade value does Zach Davies have remaining?
Its clear that he is not working out as a starter for the club but not certain what Cubs can do at this point (5 GS, 19 IP, 20 ER, 15 BB, 14 K).
Just as we have heard how easy it is to game plan against Cubs offense, wondering if similar starters are also an issue with this squad. Pairing Hendricks with Davies - and Arrieta - in the starting rotation may be damaging as teams can game plan to face crafty, location focused starters with high 80 mph four seem fastballs.
Davies and Hendricks were supposed to be the two consistent pieces of the rotation, but so far this season, theyve been not only bad but two of the worst starters in baseball, allowing a combined 39 earned runs. From todays game story in SunTimes article. https://chicago.suntimes.com/cubs/2021/4...the-braves
No clue if he has any value given his starts this season but issue needs to be addressed as the pairing may be putting big strains on fragile bullpen and non existent offense
Couldn’t find my other rant regarding trading both Joc and Davies but guessing that Cub org took the bitter rant to heart and Zack and Joc just decided to be good Cub players rather than what they were doing back in April. Yeah, that’s it
