"Today at FanGraphs, Davy Andrews made a case for the Colorado Rockies signing Luis Arraez."

2025
"I’m pretty sure Pete is the first person to refer to himself as a golden retriever in centerfield, but I’ve since read that metaphor in this excellent piece on PCA by Davy Andrews at FanGraphs as well."

"Davy Andrews brings us an actually interesting article about cleat cleaners."

2023
"Davy Andrews brings us a new stat (of a kind) looking at batters who have almost aged out of use, but can still hit against opposite-arm pitchers."

2022
"Davy Andrews at FanGraphs made precisely this argument as he tried to unravel the Swanson riddle earlier this offseason: At the plate, it sure looks like Swanson’s success in 2020 and ’22 was tied to some luck on balls in play."
