Doug Davis signs 3 year deal

[Hellwig]

PHOENIX (AP) -- The Arizona Diamondbacks and pitcher Doug Davis agreed to a $22 million, three-year contract Thursday, avoiding arbitration.

Davis was acquired in a November trade that sent catcher Johnny Estrada to Milwaukee. The left-hander went 11-11 with a 4.91 ERA in 34 starts for the Brewers last season, tossing 203 1-3 innings.

He will be part of an Arizona rotation that includes NL Cy Young Award winner Brandon Webb, Randy Johnson and Livan Hernandez.

Davis gets $5.5 million this year, $7.75 million in 2008 and $8.75 million in 2009.
