In December of 2013, the White Sox traded closer Addison Reed to the Diamondbacks for third baseman Matt Davidson. Following the deal, many Sox fans were elated considering the fact Davidson was ranked as one of the top 100 prospects in all of baseball at the time. However things haven’t turned out the way the Sox had hoped, meaning the question must be asked. Is it time to close the book on Davidson as a Sox building block?
Davidson entered pro ball in 2009 with the Diamondbacks, and managed only two home runs in 270 at bats with Single A Short Season Yakima Bears.
