While the signing of Yu Darvish garnered the most headlines this offseason for the Chicago Cubs, there were bigger moves made. The team brought in highly-regarded pitching coach, infield and third base coach Brian Butterfield and hitting coach Chili Davis.
The latter holds a widely different hitting philosophy from his predecessor John Mallee, who went on to take the same job with the Philadelphia Phillies this winter. Similar to manager Joe Maddon, Davis is a master of not only preaching a message, but getting players to buy in and execute on said message.
