Doug Davis 2006 - 6.8 K/G, 4.4 BB/G, 68.1% LOB, 44.1% GB, 5.22 RA, 4.64 FIP 2007 - 6.5 K/G, 4.3 BB/G, 74.9% LOB, 47% GB, 4.67 RA, 4.66 FIP Cladio Vargas 2006 - 6.4 K/G, 2.7 BB/G, 69.5% LOB, 39.9% GB, 5.42 RA, 4.88 FIP 2007 - 6.9 K/G, 3.5 BB/G, 73% LOB, 33.8% GB, 5.36 RA, 5.09 FIP Davis was about exactly the same as Vargas in 2006. In 2007 they were the same for most of the year with Vargas' miserable August and the Brewers horrible defense being the major difference. The one thing Davis has going for him over Vargas is the groundballs like I said. I would fully expect both of them to have roughly 5.0-5.5 RA per game which is a #5 quality starter. Vargas actually was young enough to still have a little upside while Davis had none at that point in the trade. . Doug Davis is no longer the player we saw in 2004/2005, his peripherals have taken a significant hit and there is no reason to expect him to have a good ERA. He had a bit of luck last year to keep his ERA as low as it was but he just isn't a very good pitcher anymore.
