Have you heard of this guy? He needs to be in the All-Star game. Of course, handing in a Baker-esque performance from last night would help. If he can work ahead of hitters today, this game could last about two hours and six minutes.

2010 - Wade Davis 5-9 15 15 0 0 0 0 82.2 83 43 43 13 38 57 4.68 1.46



The 24-year old right-hander actually leads the league in losses right now, but he hasn't really pitched like he's that terrible. But in June, Davis lost all five of his starts...in spite of giving up more than three runs just once. Mostly his offense hasn't picked up the slack, and he just hasn't been able to work deep enough.

Davis throws a decent fastball in the low 90s, a pretty iffy changeup and a couple of breaking balls that can work...or not...depending on the day.
