November 30, 20187 yr Good. No real reason for him to get consistent ABs. He was a black hole post-April
November 30, 20187 yr I LOVE this. He was a bum against everyone except the Royals. Keep trimming the fat off this team. Hopefully Avi is next.
November 30, 20187 yr Yeah -- As good of a guy Matt Davidson was to cheer for, there wasn't anything happening here. Unfortunate, but TY for the memories of last year.
November 30, 20187 yr this is a move that makes me think they're going to be active bringing in veterans the next few weeks.

November 30, 20187 yr Hmmm...definitely a little surprised by this but Davidson kind of sucks so not a huge loss.
November 30, 20187 yr My Dad is going to be destroyed. He thought Davidson was the 2nd coming of Mike Schmidt or something.

November 30, 20187 yr Author I'm really happy that Davidson had two years in the big leagues. Would have been brutal for him to have lost it all the year he thought he was going to hit. Unfortunately he wasn't quite good enough, but he should definitely work on his pitching and try to be some weird player for the tampa rays.
November 30, 20187 yr Considering his price tag, It is actually pretty shocking to me. But he is challenged position wise, contact wise, and his power was zapped a bit last year. He hit more homers in KC than Chicago. Just don't see much upside there. He does have a nice head of hair. Edited November 30, 20187 yr by Dick Allen

I think this is likely true, but also I did not expect sox to have another year of so many power-only, limited defensive players. Palka is gonna be who they go with, I didn't see nicky or matt d with spots. Also, the idea that we have to have two players to make a good DH grosses me out.

November 30, 20187 yr I am pretty surprised by this TBH. He is a back up in an area we don't have a lot of depth in, and isn't very expensive at all. Oh well, the good news is that this isn't a big loss.

November 30, 20187 yr Good. Time to trim the fat. Way too many fucking 1B/DH types on this roster that are 1 WAR talents.
