[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1403409, member: 26283"] They're not going to DFA Chatwood. His BB/9 is twice what it's been his entire career. That's not someone who's lost his stuff. It's someone that has something wrong with his mechanics that can be fixed. It might take the winter for it to happen though. The Cubs are in the midst of a 21 games in 21 days stretch. And then from Aug 14 to September 12, they have 1 day off. It would not be inconceivable for them to go to a six man rotation with Chatwood starting about once every 10 days with a spot relief appearance in between starts. They've done something similar with Montgomery and Cahill in previous years. Or maybe they put him in the back end of the pen and see if he can't pitch his way back into the rotation by taking some low leverage stints. Regardless, Chatwood is going to be seeing fewer innings for a while. [/QUOTE]
