[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1401520, member: 26283"] I think both Chatwood and Hickey have said publicly that Chatwood is having problems with his mechanics. But yes, it’s like pulling teeth watching him pitch right now. With Alzolay and Butler both hurt (and Darvish) and all of Mills, Tseng, and Underwood having rough years at AAA, the Cubs’ high minor league pitching depth is pretty crappy right now. I don’t think they want to dip down into AA for a guy to start multiple games. (Although some of those 2016 picks are having nice years down there.) So, barring a trade, I think Chatwood is going to keep getting starts until either Darvish or Butler come back. And I wouldn’t hold my breath in either case. [/QUOTE]
