What's Making Me Talk: Manny Ramirez in Blue, Big Papi Feeling Blue
I often laugh at the retreads that somehow get a chance with another team. You know the players that I'm talking about. Players that have had little success in the major leagues or show that inkling of potential that some teams feel the need to take a chance on.
Two Cleveland Indians retreads have resurfaced in the National League. Both pitched for the Indians before being shipped off in one way or another. One is Jason Davis, who was sent to the Mariners after the Indians decided to give up on him.
Obviously, David didn't last because now he's with the Pittsburgh Pirates. GM Neal Huntington obviously felt that the Pirates could get him straightened out as a reliever.
So far, so good, as he's won a game in his three appearances and struck out two hitters. Davis always had a good arm with live stuff. I thought he could get it done as a closer, but he never had the mentality.
He was tried out as a starter earlier in his career but the Indians felt he didn't have enough in his arm to get it done ...
