I could be dead wrong about Davies, but every year he has 2-3 dominant performances (often sandwiched around starts where he vomits all of himself, but...), and I think he might be able to capture that form for the majority of a season.
He has the tools. Stuff is not an issue for him. Regardless, even if he stays the same guy, he's a viable #5.

I felt the exact same way this time last year, but I've reached my limit in terms of optimism. Hell, he didn't even have the dominant stretch at the end of the season like the previous two year. He has the stuff when he's "good". But his out pitch, the curve, is there sometimes and not there others. If that's not working, he's no better than mediocre. And the guy has had a bunch of opportunities; there's a reason the Braves basically gave up on him. I absolutely hope you're right though.
