beautox Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 If Davidson could develop into a Jesse Barfield / Mark Reynolds type of bat that would be a boon for this organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean if he could play 11 years, hit 240 HR and win a couple of gold gloves? I think any team would take that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt obviously doesn't have the glove and is getting his look about 5 years later than when Jesse started. Having said that I think his glove is better than Reynolds and he does have some nice pop, doubt he would hit 40 like Barfield though.

southsider2k5 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Out of curiosity, does anyone have R/L splits for Davidson from the minors? Are they extreme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 25, 2017 -> 08:44 AM) That was what was apparent from watching him play. The dude will consistently hit the ball hard. It's a matter of making contact on a more regular basis. Â The one nagging part of me is Smoak also has really nice batted ball stats to very little end. Davidsons swing and miss could be same.

chitownsportsfan Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 If nothing else, he looks like a useful bench bat going forward that can play 1B/3B/DH and hit lefties well enough to justify keeping him around. Â He has impressive power to all fields and he appears to have a good approach right now as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donaldo Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 The more I see of Davidson, it is becoming easier to see why he was such a highly touted prospect at one time. His talent is obvious. Unfortunately, so are his flaws. He really needs to work on hitting the off speed stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
