Doug Davis considers Brewers

PrintDiamondbacks pitcher Doug Davis is already looking ahead to free agency. Davis is open to returning to the Diamondbacks next season, but poor numbers along with a disappointing second half doesn't help his chances. Davis has an ERA of 4.01, but has a FIP of 4.78, which shows his true ERA as pitcher this season.
Davis pitched in Milwaukee for four seasons, and would seriously consider an offer from the Brewers.
"I've pitched there before and (Brewers General Manager) Doug Melvin and I have a lot of history," Davis said. "I would think signing with them is definitely a possibility, but I think there are a lot of teams out there that could use me."
Durability will definitely benefit Davis, who has made 193 starts since the 2004, the most by a lefty in that span. The 34-year old will certainly have interest elsewhere, and could receive a two, possibly three year deal.
The Indians, in need of a pitcher to replace the the innings eater Carl Pavano, could look into Davis' services.

As Someone who
Watches a ton of Brewer games, my reaction/plea is:
Lord No! Please dont come back here.
I love baseball, will watch it as much as I can, but watching Doug Davis pitch one of his patented 6 hour starts is like having root canal with no anesthetic.
