Detweiler is grossly overrated..speaking solely on behalf of senators fans, I'd really like more of these lists to shine some light on the remarkable upside leonard davis possesses..he looked average in aaa but, you have to remember he made several jumps in leagues last year..not to mention he absolutely tore it up during his stint with the senators
