December 11, 2008 Jason Davis became a free agent and may head to Japan, according to the Beaver County Times.
Our View:The 28-year-old held a weak 5.29 ERA and 1.62 WHIP over 34 innings with the Pirates in 2008, and there is no guarantee he will fare better in Japan.
August 15, 2008 Jason Davis put together another strong outing Friday, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three over seven innings.
Our View:Davis had allowed just two runs over 13 innings in his two starts for the Bucs, but we're still not confident enough in him to recommend him outside of deep NL-only leagues.
August 10, 2008 Jason Davis made his first start of the year and put in a solid effort, going six innings and allowing no earned runs in Pittsburgh's loss to Philadelphia.
Our View:Nice work by Davis, who gave up two runs, but neither were earned. He did walk four batters, which needs to improve, but he could be decent option in NL-only leagues.
August 6, 2008 Jason Davis will be promoted to the starting rotation, with his first start scheduled for Sunday, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He will replace Yoslan Herrera.
Our View:Davis allowed two earned runs and six hits over seven innings of relief with the Pirates this season, and is worth a look in deeper NL-only leagues if you could use some depth.
July 27, 2008 Jason Davis has been recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis, according to the AP. He will fill the open roster spot for John Van Benschoten, who was sent back to the minors.
Our View:Davis could take Van Benschoten's next turn in the Pirates' rotation, which is scheduled for Friday against the Cubs. Davis allowed 42 hits and 24 earned runs over 37 innings of relief with time spent between Cleveland and Seattle last season, and only merits fantasy consideration in deeper NL-only leagues.
