You can never have too much pitching.
Theo Epstein uses that phrase often, as he talks about the attrition of pitching between injuries and ineffectiveness.
That helps explain why the Cubs are rolling the dice on right-handed pitcher Aaron Crow, who is currently rehabbing from Tommy John surgery.
The 29-year-old Crow was non-tendered by the Miami Marlins this offseason after he missed all of 2015 with the elbow injury. The Cubs announced Friday they signed him to a minor-league deal.
Right now, Crow is working back into shape, throwing a simulated bullpen during the Cubs' first official workout with pitchers and catchers Saturday.
