Crazy how fast a prospect can go from hero to zero. What's happened to him? Is it just a stretch of bad baseball, making adjustments, injury? What's the dealio?
and lawls at the foreshadowing
I went to the last week of Iowa cubs games. I believe he isnt fully back from his injury problems. He use to be a very good athlete and there was always a big deal about his neuro test which was off the charts. Meaning he had super fast hand eye reflexes. To me he looked really slow and just flat out lost. The one knock on him prior to the injury was breaking ball recognition. That is still an issue and now that whole series he could barely caught up to a 90mph fastball. So he was either fooled, late on, or would barely get a piece to foul a ball off. Im guessing he couldnt hit .200 in A ball right now.

Eye test he just doesnt look right.

I don't think he ever recovered from the genetic injury. It's unfortunate, he has a lot of talent. He's still young so maybe he can salvage an MLB career, but who knows.

Davis hit a HR against Neris. He says he's healthy now. Time to bump this thread!

The forgotten man. If he's healthy, this season is a now or never for him. Honestly I think he's already an afterthought for the Cubs since there are so many others knocking at the door. Hopefully he starts hot, if for no other reason than to be a trade chip at the deadline.

The plan for Davis is to keep him in AAA all year stay healthy and prove he can contribute in 2025.

Craig Counsell says the plan is to keep an eye on Davis all Spring and he will not make Opening Day roster, but gets consistent at bats at in minors and “do something special and make us think about what’s going on.” Best of Luck, Brennen!
