Based on the reason they got Davis was to platoon vs. LHP. Davis cannot hit RHP worth a damn. Against RH starters his career OPS is .638, his career OBP is sub .300 Essentially the same numbers Don Kelly has for his career.

At least with Collins you have split advantage, or even Castellanos would have been a better idea, no worse in the OF than Davis and likely a much better hitter.

Collins shouldn't even be on this team. He hit a few doubles in spring training and he is LH so they thought he was a fit. Again....the bench and farm system is pathetic because the Tigers have been all in on winning a WS and paying 4 or 5 guys 60% of their payroll.

I like Collins, but I'd rather see him play everyday in the minors vs spot duty in the bigs. Seems that this has been the norm for us the last decade or so. Why don't we finally let one of these kids fully develop before bringing him up.

Normally I'd agree, except that hes the best option we have for LF right now. He should be getting most of the starts, all of the ones vs RHP, which would give him a good amt of PAs. For whatever reason, he's stuck on the bench most days.

Not sure DD wants to see 5.5 million that he just spent sitting on the bench though

He also has an .800 career OPS in the minors. And he fills the roles we need, LH bat with some power, and a 4th outfielder. Also a "few doubles" which were actually 3, along with 3 triples and 3 home runs.

Plus, he makes almost no money, geez Tom, I'd have figured you would be sporting wood over that fact alone.[/QUOTE]

lol...that I agree with!
