“But when you’ve got guys like Kyle Davies and Bruce Chen, two guys who are pretty important to your
starting rotation, you can’t just move them out." Ned Yost
Chen I'll give him, but Davies, I'm not sure how to respond to so idiotic a statement. Of course you can move Davies out, simply because he's one of the worst pitchers in baseball history. And he's not shown that he's getting better either. I really wish somebody would point Yost to baseball-reference.com so that he can see that a lot of what he says is purely insane. I mean there's no way that he can believe this garbage, is there?
And that's what it is, garbage. Since 1901 there have been 1,461 pitchers throw at least 700 innings, among those:
Only four have a lower ERA+.

I've said before, and still believe, that the rotation can get by with Davies or Hochevar but not both, and since Hochevar isn't going anywhere in the foreseeable future it would be madness to send Davies out there every fifth day again.
So that's probably exactly what will happen.
