2020-08-14 14:00:00 (link to chat)Since we're all here to pick nits on the top 500...JD Davis hitting .300/.394/.467, making last year's breakout look a bit more legit, and he's only 27. But he's way back at 193. If he's still hitting this way when you're making the September list, how far does he shoot up?
(Paul from Dallas)		I am all for nit picking. On occasion, my opinion about a player changes based on strong, well-reasoned arguments (unless it is Nomar Mazara, he will forever be on the cusp of breaking out for me).

As for J.D. Davis, well, he is now hitting .282/.382/.438. Small sample sizes play havoc with stats on a day-to-day basis. Davis does have legit power, a manageable whiff rate (29%), and possibly more power in the tank if he elevates more. However, he normally struggles against secondaries (except in 2019), and it remains a long-term concern. I am not sure he is much more than a .265/25 type bat without more tangible growth. If he starts elevates (LA over 12 degrees) while maintaining serviceable contact rates, I think he certainly could push further up the rankings. (Jesse Roche)

(Wesley from Albany)		I like Davis as a very deep sleeper. (Bret Sayre)
