The first one was one of the longest homers I’ve ever seen, exiting the stadium and possibly the road running by the stadium. Nelson Cruz also hit a homer off of the giant guitar at Greer. I want to see Davis do well, but he has to cut down on his strikeouts and learn to hit offspeed pitches, or he’ll always be labeled Quad A. Nelson Cruz almost had that label attached to him, but he finally succeeded in the Majors.

The M’s should make a play for him. 3B is the one position they don’t have an elite prospect at, and left handed power plays well at Safeco. Be fun to watch an infield of Smoak/Ackley/Franklin/Davis in the next few years…

It’s difficult to stick around with one organization that way.
