BP Chats
| Date | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 2011-09-20 13:00:00 | What are the reasons against starting Matt Moore over Jeff Nieman down the stretch? (JDanger from chicago) | Because Niemann hasn't pitched badly - Wade Davis and Jeremy Hellickson have higher FIPs, by the way - and because Moore is nearing his innings cap. (Jay Jaffe) |
| 2010-12-07 13:00:00 | keeper league, one spot left -- Wade Davis or Brett Cecil? (JB from NYC) | I would keep Davis for the future upside, even if they may be the same guy in 2011. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-07-22 13:00:00 | Hi Tommy, thanks for the chat today. Any word on an ETA for Desmond Jennings and Jeremy Hellickson in Tampa? Thanks. (will0911 from VT) | They're both blocked pretty well (by Carl Crawford and Wade Davis, basically). On most other teams they'd both already be on the major league roster. I think this is the year when Tampa will actually make a decent-sized deadline move, so let's just wait a little longer and see if there isn't room at the inn in two weeks. (Tommy Bennett) |
| 2010-06-18 14:00:00 | Exactly what do you think of James Shields and Wade Davis? Both started off well enough, the past month has been rough. (OTSgamer from Dallas, TX) | Was never really high on Davis but I still think Shields is one of the most valuable SPs in the game, especially with that contract. I don't see him as a true #1 pitcher in the traditional sense of like a 2.80 ERA or anything, but as more of a 3.50-3.70 guy with 220 IP and a good K/BB ratio. Let's give Davis some more time though. It's really tough to gauge a player after only a month or two. (Eric Seidman) |
| 2010-06-10 13:00:00 | In a 10 team (typical 5x5 roto) league I just traded away Jose Reyes and Wade Davis for Zorilla and Scherzer (I'm 1st in steals, last in RBI). Fair trade? Winner? Loser? (WilliamWilde from Boston, MA) | I *love* Max Scherzer, so the fact you were able to get him while selling low on Reyes is pretty great in my mind. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-06-10 13:00:00 | In my very deep, 14 team mixed league I'm in need of some pop, and have a day to put in a claim on Stanton (thankfully I have $ to do so). The question is, my pitching staff is very young & volatile, which of these 4 guys would you recommend dropping: W. Davis, Ely, C. Richard, W. LeBlanc? I'm leaning Wade Davis fwiw... (Andy from Chicago) | I can see Davis getting pushed out by Hellickson. Wade LeBlanc had a few iffy starts, but he's in the NL with Petco, and probably won't get bumped by Tim Stauffer if he can keep it up. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-05-11 16:30:00 | Go Phils. I have an abundance of pitchers and a need for outfielders in a 16 team mixed league. Should I try to trade Wade Davis for Jay Bruce or Jason Kubel? These teams just can't put up a good phight against the Phils these days. (choms57 from philadelphia) | Go Phils.
It's kind of hard for me to evaluate a fantasy trade because I don't have a sense of how valuable these guys are in a given league. I do think Wade Davis is playing over his head. If he doesn't stop issuing walks, he's going to start allowing a lot more runs when his share of hits starting falling in. Jay Bruce finally has hit BABIP up to normal, but he's probably got a little more power than this. I think his numbers are starting to look normal again, though. Kubel like I said earlier just isn't hitting the ball as hard as he should, so he might need a little time to work out kinks. (Matt Swartz) |
| 2010-05-05 13:00:00 | I'm in a shallow 8 team league with some friends. I drafter Chipper, but grabbed Headley on the waiver wire. Do I drop Chipper and grab a pitcher? Jaime Garcia, Brad Penny, Phil Hughes, Brett Cecil, and Wade Davis are all available.
Bonus round: I already snagged CJ Wilson off the wire. Do you like any of the guys I listed better than CJ? Thanks! (Gregjitsu from Cal) | I like C.J. Wilson a lot. I think he's like Buehrle with more strikeouts (more walks too, though). I wonder why he started out as a reliever, because he's got the stuff and repertoire to be a starter.
Hughes, Cecil or Davis would all be worthwhile IMO. Cecil will probably give you the fewest wins though, when the Jays remember they are the Jays. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-03-30 13:00:00 | Are you bullish on Wade Davis' prospects for 2010? (Stu from NJ) | Yup. Just picked him to win Rookie of the Year. (Shawn Hoffman) |
| 2010-03-04 13:00:00 | Do you love Latos this year more than Wade Davis, Matusz and Baumgartner? (TheSportsIdiot from ATL) | I'm still not 100% on how much Latos is going to pitch. I'd take Wade Davis for 2010 over all of them, Latos #2. If they all threw 180 innings, I'd go with Latos. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-03-04 13:00:00 | Due to the weird keeper rules in our league, I can keep Wade Davis in the 18th round this year, then two rounds ahead of that until he gets tossed back into the draft nine years from now, if I wish. My alternative keeper in that spot is Jason Kubel. That's a no brainer, right? (bctowns from Chicago) | Kubel can be replaced very easily. Having a starter who has Davis' ceiling around is much better than Kubel, especially if you can keep Davis as long as you say. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-03-04 13:00:00 | One has to take Wade Davis over Harden or Sheets, right? (LBC from The LBC) | Over Sheets? Yes. Harden, maybe not. Harden might kill you on innings a little, but he'll pitch a full season's worth of K's in that span. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-02-17 16:00:00 | What prospect are you aiming to take in your fantasy drafts this year? (MarinerDan from SF) | For non-keeper leagues, I like Neftali Feliz, Jason Heyward, Buster Posey, Wade Davis, and Brian Matusz. Almost all of those guys will get good playing time. One deep sleeper I like okay is Mark Hamilton of the Cardinals. (Tommy Bennett) |
| 2010-02-05 13:00:00 | Hi Marc, do you have a strong gut feeling about any of these guys?: Buchholz, Brett Anderson, Dice-K, Scott Baker, Matusz, Wade Davis, Ricky Romero, Justin Masterson, Homer Bailey. Let's assume Tommy Hanson was gone several rounds ago. Please help or my entire pitching staff will be sleepers! (robertcfox from DC) | Brett Anderson and Clay Buchholz would be the two I suggest to you. Buchholz showed some positive growth in 2009 that I'm excited to see in 2010, and Brett Anderson is a future beast. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2009-08-25 13:00:00 | Will the Rays get a nice advantage in the Wild Card race based upon the quality of September callups they can make (Wade Davis, Matt Joyce, maybe Jeremy Hellickson)? (achaik from ME) | Nah. It's nice to have those guys, but no September call-ups play enough to make that big a difference, or at least not predictably so. (And anybody can go .390/.460/.710 for a month.) (Joe Sheehan) |
| 2009-05-07 14:00:00 | Where do the Rays go to improve their bullpen; trade with another team for a veteran or two, or promote from within their own system? (mhixpgh from Pittsburgh) | I still think trying Wade Davis out there wouldn't be a bad idea. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-02-11 14:00:00 | It was almost a given thàt David Price's drafting basically showed Edwin Jackson the door, do you think Wade Davis' impending bus ride to St. Pete makes the 2009 season an audition for teams looking to trade for Andrew Sonnanstine? (jlarsen from chicago, il) | Absolutely. (John Perrotto) |
| 2009-02-11 14:00:00 | How about Tampa's Wade Davis, where does he end up...as the closer? (marco from Virginia Beach) | I could see Davis closing. I'll say this, the Rays have a really good problem with all the pitching to go with all the hitters they've developed in the last few years. (John Perrotto) |
| 2008-07-21 15:00:00 | The Rays have been talked about a lot in trades for relievers. How much internal promotion to the MLB Bullpen do you think we will see from guys such as Wade Davis, Jake McGee, Ryan Reid and especially David Price if they hope to stay in it this year? (kvillerays from knoxville) | None from McGee, since he's out and has a year of TJ rehab ahead of him. Davis and Price? That's more interesting. If the Rays don't find trade help, I think they have to be options, especially in September. I'm sure we'll see the Rays make their roster flexible just in case. Reid, I'll admit to knowing nothing about aside from his stat line. (Will Carroll) |
| 2008-06-23 12:00:00 | David Price, Jeremy Hellickson, Jake McGee and Wade Davis....do the Montgomery Biscuits have one of the best 1-4 rotations in the minor leagues right now? (jlarsen from DRays Bay) | That's a question better suited for our prospect maven, Kevin Goldstein, but you've got to like that rotation a whole lot. If they were hocky players, they'd be able to put the biscuit in the basket. (John Perrotto) |
| 2008-05-20 13:00:00 | If you had to pick between the Yankees top pitching prospects, Boston's top pitching prospects and Tampa Bay's top pitching prospects, who would you pick to have the most success in the future? (jlarsen from DRays Bay) | That's the billion dollar question, isn't it? I'm not a prospect expert, so I'm not sure I've got the most informed opinion here, but it's fun to kick the idea around. For all of Hughes' struggles, I think if you pair him and Chamberlain against Buchholz and Masterson, I think they come out ahead in the long run -- I tend to like those big bodies when it comes to durability, though of course with Hughes we have little evidence he's actually durable. As for the Rays, I haven't seen enough of David Price, Wade Davis, Jacob McGee or Jeff Niemann to know which of the two I should be comparing them to (if we're going two deep), but many people are very high on them. (Jay Jaffe) |
| 2008-01-09 13:00:00 | Do you think Jeff Niemann going to get a fair shot at the rotation with Wade Davis, David Price, and Jake McGee banging on the door? (Kevin from FCq) | I think everyone, including some of the second-tier pitchers in that system like Talbot and Mason will get a 'fair shot' at the roation -- I just think there are only so many jobs there. (Kevin Goldstein) |
