Veteran minor league manager Buddy Bailey takes over for Jody Davis at the helm of the Daytona Cubs for 2009 as they defend their Florida State League title. It will be Bailey’s second stint as skipper of the D-Cubbies. Jody Davis will still occasionally be seen at Jackie Robinson Ballpark however, as he is the new roving catching instructor for the entire Chicago Cubs system. When he is
in Daytona, be sure and thank him for an incredible 2008 season. By the way, ‘08 Daytona Cubs infielder Darwin Barney, pitchers Andrew Cashner and Marcos Mateo, and catcher Steve Clevenger are training with the major league
club in Peoria, Arizona
