White Sox prospect Davidson bypassed once again

At what point does it become apparent that top prospect sitting in the minor leagues has become a bust?

When the Chicago White Sox traded for Matt Davidson, he was supposed to start the 2014 season as the team’s everyday third baseman.

Highly regarded for his power, Davidson was a compensatory pick in 2009 of the Arizona Diamondbacks that had shown there was no longer anything left for him to accomplish at the minor league level.

In 2013, he hit .280/.350/.481 with 17 home runs, 74 RBIs and 32 doubles in 115 games at Triple-A and finished the season with Diamondbacks major league ballclub.
