I'm a little surprised it was quite as wide a margin, because by objective measurements like WAR or VORP, Parra was a good deal less credible a candidate than Juan Gutierrez.

One such pitcher this offseason is the 34-year-old Doug Davis, who once upon a time (2005) was third in the NL with 208 strikeouts. 
 Davis is the definition of an innings eater, making at least 33 starts in five of the last six years, with the one exception being 2008, when he missed si...

There is no way that Davis should be considered an ace or even a front line starting pitcher because his stuff is simply not that dominant. However, Davis is your classic middle of the rotation starter, who gets the job done and is about as consistent as they come. While Davis might not be the first choice for many teams, he's exactly the kind of pitcher that so many teams need.How will Davis' limitations and consistency play out on the open market? L...
