MESA, Ariz. -- It's been a little crazy for pitcher Stephen Fife.
"Big leagues to bartending in six months," Fife said. "Then I went back to pro ball, and here I stand. The game will find a way to humble you."
Fife, 29, is a non-roster invitee in Cubs camp. He's reunited with the front office that drafted him in 2008 -- Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein, general manager Jed Hoyer, and player development director Jason McLeod, who were all on the Red Sox staff at that time. Fife also is lockered next to his former Minor League teammate, Anthony Rizzo, who also was drafted by Boston before being traded to San Diego in the Adrian Gonzalez deal.
