Todd Graham informed his players, via a text message to his assistant athletic director, that he was leaving for Tempe. The Arizona State job will be Graham’s fourth stop since 2006, as he coached at Rice in 2006, Tulsa from 2007-2010 and Pittsburgh in 2011.

Nobody is saying new D-back Trevor Cahill is the next Brandon Webb. Because, after all, that would mean the 23-year-old starts 199 games for his new team, posting a record of 87-62 with a 3.27 ERA.
