March 23, 201511 yr QUOTE (LDF @ Mar 21, 2015 -> 10:40 AM) thanks in a way, i was trying to be nice about it. but in realty that what it is, i just wanted to see if he can do anything meaningful before i throw him off the cliff. Which is what the D'backs did.
March 23, 201511 yr I believe in Gillaspie, but he's having a less than impressive spring and if his play carries over into the regular season we're going to have a big problem at the hot corner.

We all know the White Sox sniffed around Panda for a bit. I think it is obvious that they aren't sold on Connor as their long term guy. My guess is that the next big splash the White Sox make is for a 3B.
March 23, 201511 yr QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Mar 23, 2015 -> 09:22 AM) Hey oldsox dropped by to pile on Davidson. Saw that one coming. I'm not piling on Davidson, Jimmy. I just think it was a lousy trade and said so here the day after it happened. Since then, a lot of others have been far more critical of Davidson than myself.

Would it be OK on this site if he prefaced it with a Gordon Beckham or John Danks sucks? Edited March 23, 201511 yr by Dick Allen

Because you haven't brought that up enough in threads that are actually on-topic. So you bring it to where it is completely irrelevant? Really? Just let it go.

April 21, 201510 yr This might as well just become the Matt Davidson watch thread. If he can get hot, he can find his way onto the MLB team as Connor doesn't really seem like a guy who should/would block him. Edited April 21, 201510 yr by soxfan2014

April 21, 201510 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 06:05 AM) Has he shown any signs of improving or getting hot? The average getting up to a respectable level is a start. Needs to increase the BB% and decrease the K% though.

April 21, 201510 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 06:05 AM) Has he shown any signs of improving or getting hot? I'll put this here too... a couple things. First, saw Lakso comment that Davidson is going center and oppo a lot more often now. Second, the defense at 3B has apparently improved quite a bit, saw it a bit myself on MiLB.tv, and also multiple people commenting on it. For what those are worth.

Our defense at third isn't anything special anyway so if he can field a little bit and hit the way everyone expected him to, everyone here would take it.
April 21, 201510 yr Good to see Davidson improving at the plate and defensively. Huge fan of him. Still think he can the the third baseman of the future.
April 22, 201510 yr Ten games in: PA: 41 H: 10 HR: 2 XBH: 3 BB: 2 K: 14 AVG: .256 OBP: .293 SLG: .436 Definitely needs to cut down on the k's and walk more

I have zero faith he'll ever become a big leaguer let alone a starter.

April 22, 201510 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 07:35 PM) Honestly, those numbers are pretty terrible when you consider the bandbox that is his home park. I have zero faith he'll ever become a big leaguer let alone a starter. He's played like 6 games at home. That sample size means nothing in terms of ballpark effect. He's actually improved. He's going up the middle and oppo, his core numbers are much better. His defense is improved. Seven of those K's came in the first three games. I mean, if we are going to deal in small sample sizes, then here is his line since the first three games: .290/.333/.419, 1 HR, 1 2B, 8 K in 33 PA (24.2% K/PA).
