D.J. Davis had a forgetful 2016 campaign, struggling to make consistent contact and make good on the $1.75 million dollar signing bonus he inked after being selected in the first round of the 2012 amateur draft. The 22-year-old speedster has yet to surpass single-A+ (Dunedin) in his fifth year of professional ball and is slipping on the depth chart with each passing day.
Davis struggled mightily for the Dunedin Blue Jays last season batting .197 with 99 punch outs and a below average .295 OBP and .558 OPS. Davis did manage to steal 22 bases in 28 attempts, however that number could be increased greatly with better offensive production at the plate.
