A return to Milwaukee should be helpful to Davis as it's, on average, a better place than Arizona for one to make half his starts. Context is important if you find yourself contemplating whether to select or bid on Davis. If you have a number of strong WHIP guys, Davis would make for a suitable back-end piece. Conversely, if your rotation already has its share of control-challenged SPs, maybe look at a different low-end SP option.

Positives / Upside	Davis is a known quantity. He'll give you a decent ERA, some strikeouts, and, if his team is pretty good, some wins. For deeper leagues, there's value in having a guy like Davis around to help shore up these categories.
Negatives / Downside	Batters have little trouble reaching base against Davis as he is prone to allow both walks and hits. His WHIP has been terrible for 4 straight seasons. Anytime a pitcher puts so many hitters on base, he is walking a fine line and at constant risk of things spiraling out of control.
