Nobody ever likes to see a guy go down for the remainder of the season, especially in a contract year where their livelihood may be depending on the performance during that year.

In the case of Ike Davis, who was diagnosed with a torn hip labrum two days ago and is out, it’s a blessing in disguise for the Oakland Athletics. The time he’s spent primarily at first base has yielded little to no production. Coupled with the fact that he’s been hurt for about half the season (74 games played), it looks like more of a positive than a negative.
