Around SBN: In Crunch Time, Spurs Don't Change Their Game

Marlins Claim Dave Davidson

Dave Davidson, who's been floundering in Class AA so long you half expect to find him behind the seafood section counter at an Altoona Giant Eagle, is about the last person I thought the Bucs would lose on waivers, but the Marlins apparently see one of their own when they look at him. The Fish have a bunch of pitchers on the DL, so hopefully all that's going on here is that they need an extra arm, not that they see something I don't.

Thanks to phil79 for the catch.

That’s kind of harsh, isn’t it? I wish Davidson good luck. I don’t think he was ever going to make it with the Pirates, anyways. Maybe a fresh start will do him good.

Or the Marlins orginizational pitching instructors

they seem to develop pitchers, especially power arms well in the minors.

Might as well just pack it in now

The mere fact that Davidson was exposed to waivers in the first pace has to make you question the Pirates’ commitment to winning.

They were too cheap to pay him the $1000/mo minor league salary! Team Coonington has no plan!!!

Absolutely disgusting piece of management, no doubt.
