Rajai Davis helps run down dreams

I’m here today to talk about Rajai Davis, one of the finest and most magical fantasy baseball acquisitions I’ve had in years. I guess I’m not that excited about him anymore now that I realize he’s been through a few organizations and at 28, he’s no spring chicken.

But a few weeks ago when I was stuck in third place, I had to find an outfielder to replace Jay Bruce/Justin Upton/Nelson Cruz who were all on the DL because we wrote posts like this one about them. And Rajai Davis was there to quench that thirst. Ever since Rajai has joined the Henchmen, things have been looking on the up and up. I’ve now obtained 76.0 points and the leader sits at 76.5 during press time of this post. With Rajai going 3 for 5 and stealing a base or two what seems like every other night, I’ll get there.

I’ve abandoned the past philosophy that I used to love of finding every power hitter that I could and stockpiling them. I look for multiple qualities and balance in the players I acquire now. Hardly a novel concept in fantasy baseball, but there are guys that play who continually search out one category like I used to continually search out blonde women. I am not that way anymore, and Rajai Davis is the proof in the pudding.

We’ll keep you posted, but don’t be surprised if Rajai is hoisting the goods for the Henchmen come October 3rd.
