Brewers get lefty Davis back in Milwaukee

January 21, 2010 By Bill Scott

Doug DavisMilwaukee Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said he wanted to sign to starting pitchers in the offseason and pending a physical for left hander Doug Davis, he will have pulled it off.

Davis agreed to a free-agent contract that’s a 1-year deal with a mutual option for a second season. 

Melvin tried to acquire Davis last season but couldn’t work out the details with the Arizona Diamondbacks. 

Durability is a key for Davis and a key to the deal.  According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, he’s the only major-league pitcher to reach at least 200 innings and 34 starts in four of the last six seasons. 

Davis went 9-14 with a 4.12 ERA last season for the Diamondbacks, posting 203 innings.  Included in that is 22 quality starts, with a 2.10 ERA in those outings. 

Davis now joins Yovani Gallardo and newcomer Randy Wolf as guarantees in the rotation.  Manny Parra, Dave Bush, Jeff Suppan and possibly a fourth pitcher will battle for the final two spots in the rotation.

Davis first pitched for the Brewers from 2003 through 2006.  He went 37-36 with a 3.92 ERA in 111 starts.
