I see that, just thought it was noteworthy that a contender filled a big hole.

I remember really really wanting him when the all the Dickey details were murky.

He's not much of an upgrade on Sanchez lol

 

You're certainly wrong there. Davis' career wOBA is 48 points higher against righties. Big upgrade for the Pirates in that regard.

Expect a pretty big regression if he makes the show.

I wouldn't be surprised but those high K/9 and low BB/9 show control if anything

5 win platoon. Gaby should never see a righty starter and Davis not a lefty starter or reliever.

As for Thornton...he'll probably never match cost of his size 17 shoes in value.
