Mike Wright

Davies is a solid 5th starter in the National League which is about what I thought of him last season when the trade was made. He will pitch better over there but he doesn't have the stuff to get the big boys out in the American League.

Keep telling yourself that and let Davies keep proving you and his other detractors wrong.

He wouldn't because his stuff is marginal and the middle of the Central is not the same as the middle of the AL East.

Cubs

3. Bryant

4. Rizzo

5. Zobrist

Cardinals

3. Holliday

4. Piscotti

5. Adams/ Molina

Pirates

3. Freese

4. Marte

5. Cervilli

Reds

3. Votto

4. Phillips

5. Bruce

Those teams score runs but lets not try and compare them with the AL East teams

Bos

3. Bogerates

4. Ortiz

5. Bradley

Bal

3. Machado

4. Davis

5. Trumbo

Tor

3. Donaldson

4. Bautista(though batting first now

5. Encarnacion

Davies numbers 3-5 in the lineup.

vs # 3 hitter .333/.462/.667/1.128

vs #4 hitter .350/.500/.650/1.150

vs #5 hitter .381/435//762/1.197

Compared to 8 and 9 hitters

vs #8 hitter .105/.100/.105/.205

vs #9 hitter .188/.222/.250/.472

He is feasting on the bottom of the lineups but the better hitters are destroying him.

David Freaking Freese hits 3rd for the Pirates. This may be the best post I've seen on here in awhile. Answers so many questions. I already knew the NL was garbage.
