Is Doug Davis hurt?

"We’re going to speak with the manager shortly and hopefully get some kind of update on Doug Davis -- or at least a little more info on the injury. We’re told Davis isn’t going to speak with the media today -- he didn’t want to talk on Thursday either -- so we won’t be getting anything from him. They’re saying the injury, which they’re calling "left triceps irritation," is minor, but we can’t help but wonder if there’s more to it since Davis has been so quiet."

I've a feeling there is indeed more to this than seems to be being publicly announced. However, precisely what that might be. I don't have any more solid info, but I trust Nick P will be able to ferret out details, if anyone can!

Manager Bob Melvin today said Davis is going to try to play catch on Monday, and if everything goes well they’re tentatively planning to slot him back into the rotation for his next start. We’re hearing they’re still not sure if there’s related to his nerve issue, but there is some concern about him, at least more than there was for Brandon Webb’s forearm issue. "If it’s still bothering him on Monday, then it would be a concern," Melvin said. "It’s probably a little bit more of a concern than what was going on with Webby early on. But until he plays catch on Monday, we’re not really certain."

'As times goes by, as times goes by, they say "he's washed up", "he's finished" , "he's a loser", "he's all through". You know what? The only one that's going to tell me when I'm through doing my thing is you people here.'

Left arm feeling better

TUCSON – Things started a little shaky in Doug Davis’ Monday morning throwing session.

His first five or six tosses, Davis recalled later, hurt more than he anticipated, and Davis began to wonder if it was going to get much better.

But his left arm loosened up, the pain went away, and Davis finished the morning talking about his chances of being ready to start the regular season on time.

“It’s definitely getting better,” Davis said of his arm.

Human thought is so primitive, it's looked upon as an infectious disease in some of the better galaxies. That kind of makes you proud, doesn't it?
