Kyle Davies got off to a rough career in the American League today by giving up 5 runs on 6 hits and 3 walks in just 3 innings to the New York Yankees. The Yankees actually had multiple opportunities to tag Davies for even more runs; however failed to do so.
Well Mr. Davies, you ain't in Atlanta anymore. I would actually argue that Davies' fantasy stock increases somewhat on the Royals then when he was with Atlanta, simply due to the fact that he will be given every chance to start and learn from his mistakes. While those mistakes may come to bite you in your fantasy ass if you choose to lean on him too hard, he remains a talented pitcher that has many years to go before you need to worry about him not figuring things out. He's a good long-term prospect for keeper leagues and simply ran into an offensive juggernaut today in the Yankees. You can't blame the kid for not being on his "A-game" today at Yankee Stadium.
But hey, at least he entered into the record books! Kyle Davies will forever be known as the answer to, "What pitcher gave up Alex Rodriguez's 500th career homerun?" There ya go, Kyle! There is a positive side to everything!
