When the Chicago Cubs signed Colin Rea over the winter, there were plenty of questions as to just how significant a role he would have. Granted, when he was signed, the team didn't know that Justin Steele would miss nearly the entire season. Nor did they know that Shota Imanaga and Jameson Taillon would miss some serious time as well. And so, Rea got more action in the rotation than anyone expected.
In fact, Rea, who came to the team as a swing man, hasn't really swung. He has 31 outings, and 26 of those outings are starts.
