Wade Davis updates

[go9ers]

Just wondering why he's being dropped 18% in ESPN leagues...are people jumping ship too early or am I mistaken that he's still worth keeping as a sleeper?

I still have him on 2 of my rosters, my other leagues he went too high for my liking... Don't really understand the big drop numbers on ESPN tho. I can say his command, like last year and his career thus far, is in line, but its not a great line. He has struggled with his command all through the minors and showed it in the Bigs last year, so far in the spring his command hasn't showed much of improvement, thus this COULD be why a bunch of people are jumping ship. I will say on my 2 rosters I don't have him as a #3, #4 or even #5, more of a later round flier on hopes of his upside.

If given the chance to battle through struggles this year, meaning if he gets the IP, he should tabulate a nice year. No injuries or concerns that I have heard of tho, aside from the command issue that he has had pretty much his whole career.

he had a very, very poor spring and for a young player that is a bad sign. of course, spring training usually means absolutely nothing, but i think expecting the type of number davis got in the small stint in the majors last yr is a bit optimistic. hellickson is still the rays best young pitcher. i expect a low 4 era for davis with solid k's...possibly the same type of numbers james shields had last yr minus a few innings.
