sorting through some 2014 stats today, Wade Davis Topic

If Wade Davis' season were to end today, he'd be one effective SIM player.   In looking over his stats through the All Star break, he's at 40 ip,  15 hits (all singles!), 62 K's (14/k9) with a .112 OAV.   His only blemish is a a 3.62 bb/9 rate thus far.  

We all know the '67 Cisco Carlos is a SIM stud at $1.9m. The 1967 Carlos current holds the MLB record for most innings in a season without an extra-base.(41- 2/3 ip )

Based on boogerlips' analysis Davis would be ideal for Coors field - low OAV, and the walks are a plus given the way that the at-bat outcome tree works.

I would think Dellen Betances of the Yankees will be very good too.

Pat Neshek of the Cardinals!

Nashek is tough, but his ip/g as of this writing is only 0.93 so you'd probably have to set his count at 10/15 and adjust to 10/10 periodically to avoid in game and season fatigue.   How about Aroldis Chapman?   He's featuring a .133 OAV, 0.89 WHIP, and a 0.22 hr/9.  He has an incredible 76 k's in 39.1 ip for a 17.5 k/9 figure.  Not thrilled with his 4.14 bb/9, but he looks to be a good one.  

Wade Davis has slipped a bit since I originally posted over a month ago, but he still hasn't given up a homer and now has 55.1 ip with 85 k's for a 13.93 k/9 vs. 3.25 bb/9.  With a .146 OAV, I'm anxious to see if he can finish the season out on same flight path and then try him out when the 2014 players are released in early October

For a pitcher in the SIM, at least an OL, Ks are not necessarily a good thing.
