I'm not sure how a 5.55 ERA, 1.81WHIP, and 328 batting average against is better than replacement level. I'm also pretty sure those numbers justify the "bad rap" he gets.
Fangraphs' formula relies heavily on BABIP and FIP, I think. Davis' FIP is much lower than his ERA, and his BABIP is crazily high. So Fangraphs likes him a lot more than Baseball Ref (his K/9 is solid).

I like Baseball Reference's WAR stats for pitchers and Fangraphs WAR stats for position players. Each is screwy for the other stat, IMO.
