Dallas Beeler

Beeler made three spot starts for the Cubs last year, and while he didn't embarrass himself his first time out, he gave up 10 hits and nine runs in his other two starts (3.1 innings). When he wasn't pitching in the bigs, Beeler was toiling away at Triple-A Iowa, starting 21 games and amassing a 4.07 ERA and 83:37 K:BB ratio in 110.2 innings. His numbers were a little better at Iowa in 2014, but there's nothing in his track record that indicates he has much of a major league future. Expect him to spend most of the year in Iowa once again, with his only real shot at an extended stay with Chicago being if there are several injuries to the starting rotation.

Beeler started two games for the Cubs before the All-Star break, going 0-2 with a 3.27 ERA, but the 6:7 K:BB ratio is probably what led to his demotion even in the wake of a trade of Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel to Oakland. Beeler spent the rest of the year with Triple-A Iowa, which is probably where he'll remain in 2015 unless injuries strike the Cubs' rotation again. At 25, the right-hander is not much of a prospect.
