Chili Davis is gone. It appears that like offensive coordinators for the Bears or Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, nobody can last more than a year in this position. The Cubs fired John Mallee because Chili Davis was an “all-star coordinator,” and then fired him because he led the Cubs from the all-star talent level to the dumpster in half a season. Davis will be among the more quixotic hires in the Theo-Jed era. I never understood getting rid of Mallee and don’t actually buy the “couldn’t pass up Davis” company line.
