Wade Davis looked a lot better than his first start of the year. He utilized his secondary pitches more – specifically throwing the curveball to begin more at-bats. His command of the fastball was still extremely loose, but in the 5th inning he showed a glimpse of being a viable fantasy starter; his breaking ball and changeup were sharp and was able to locate the fastball while changing speeds on his fastball.

Aaron Hicks looks lost at the plate; he can’t pick up the ball well. A week or two from now he’ll be in Triple-A.

Brad Peacock had a better outing than his first outing. This go-round he had better command of his fastball and utilized his curveball more. However, with the lack of a third pitch (changeup) and an out pitch his fantasy ceiling will be limited to spot starter in big ball parks; big ballparks because he’s extremely homer prone.

Tom Milone is not a good pitcher and yet people refer to his success as “magic” on twitter. Like Peacock, Milone is very homer prone and needs to pitch in a cavernous ballpark, like the Oakland Coliseum, to be effective as he has a below average fastball and relies on command and deception to get outs. In two years Milone will either be a loogy or out of the Majors.

Casper Wells was claimed by the Toronto Blue Jays, which probably means he’ll be the the 4th outfielder. Rajai Davis will probably see a dramatic decrease in playing time if he’s still on the roster a few days from now.

R.A. Dickey’s poor performance a few days ago could have been due to a cracked finger nail.
