Found April 25, 2007 on Cubs Hub:
In this installment of Cubshub's Scouting Report, we'll look at the spring suprise in power righty Rocky Cherry. I wasn't planning on Cherry's promotion to beat his scouting report but with the way our pitching has been, the extra arm was needed. Entering the 2006 season, 39 of 48 Cherry's career appearances were as a starting pitcher. But following Tommy John surgery after just three starts in 2005, Cherry was put in the AA bullpen to regain his arm strength. Not only did Rocky's velocity comeback but in short bursts, he was able to throw harder and his slider became even more devasting. Cherry has some thoughts of possibly becoming a starter again but honestly his best chance to break and stay in the MLB's is as a reliever.
