[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1395987, member: 26283"] Chatwood’s career walks per 9 before coming to the Cubs was 4.2. A bit higher than you’d want, but almost half of what he’s been doing this year. Don’t know why he’s seemed to have lost the strike zone, but this hasn’t been an isolated occurrence with Cubs pitchers. Justin Wilson’s BB/9 has nearly tripled since joining the Cubs. Darvish was 3.3 prior to the Cubs and 4.7 since. Adam Warren walked 4.9 with the Cubs and 2.9 with the Yankees. It hasn’t been every pitching acquisition, but it’s been enough of them to raise a red flag. The good news is that it seems like it should be a fixable issue. The bad news is that this issue was one of the prime reasons Hickey was brought in to replace Bosio and it’s not getting fixed. [/QUOTE]
