[QUOTE="bdutts, post: 1649781, member: 29"] A quick check of other stats shows that Davies is at 1.49 WHIP whereas Yu is at 1.003, FIP is way in Yu's favor. Davies walks too many guys, especially compared to Yu. Yu just gives the team a better chance to win. If you're saying, though, that Davies isn't a "direct" replacement for Yu, I'd agree with you. But on the Cubs staff, he's probably the #2 but in reality, he's not a 2. I didn't like the trade then and I don't like it now because they essentially gave up and cried poor before the season even started in a division that's extremely weak and was/is there for the taking. If they wanted to cry poor and dump more guys that Yu this past offseason, then fine, I'd begrudgingly accept it as a rebuild and live with whatever happens. But that's not what happened. It appears to me that they have no idea what direction to take the team and until they can figure it out, I am doing nothing to support them. [/QUOTE]
