Myers I get - and agree with.
But it became clear in the past year or so that Odorizzi was never going to be a stud unless one of his secondary pitches jumped up to be a true out pitch, or unless his fastball velocity took a big jump.
Davis is, at worst, going to be as good as Odorizzi. Even if he doesn't bring back any of the lessons he picked up in the bullpen. Even if he's just a nice, solid No. 4 pitcher who eats innings.
Davis has already answered some of the questions -workload, can he maintain his stuff from the 75-100 pitch level, which Odo has struggled with - that will make or break Odo as even a MLB-contributor.
