I haven't read any of the previous comments. I just wanted to toss out my two cents on Davis. I had him in my 12 player keeper league preseason. I thought he would probably have a sophomore slump. I thought he may never hit better than .250 and have about 30 HR's in his career years. I knew I could get value for him. I had Morneau at 1B and Longoria at 3B. I traded him for Felix Hernandez and Brad Hawpe. Now I've got Hawpe plugged into my Util spot and Hernandez plugged into my pitching rotation. It's worked out for me. I sold high on him for sure. I do have him in another league, and have no desire to completely cut him because he is going to get the average up to at least .230 by season's end, I think, and will hit about 30 HR's. That's worth holding onto in my book, at least for what I could get for him on the waiver wire or in a trade right now.
