Chris Davis Recalled From the Minors

Texas 1B Chris Davis went 2-4 with a walk, a run scored, and 0 strikeouts in his first MLB action since being recalled from the minors. Davis, a pre-season break out candidate, struggled mightily during the season and was sent to the minors in early July to rediscover his hitting stroke. While playing for AAA Oklahoma City, Davis did just that hitting .329/.418/.521 with 6 HR and a 39:25 K:BB ratio in 166 AB's. Davis (34% owned in Yahoo Leagues) will see regular at bats at 1B, as he takes over for the struggling Hank Blalock (hitting just .180/.207/.334 in August). Of course, strikeouts are the biggest problem when it comes to Davis. If he can limit the K's, he could be a nice source of power down the stretch, and is worth adding.
