D.J. Davis has been waiting for liftoff since the Toronto Blue Jays made him the 17th overall pick in the 2012 MLB Amateur Draft.
Selected ahead of 2016 Opening Day starter Marcus Stroman, Davis fits the parameters of an Alex Anthopoulos outfielder alongside the likes of Dalton Pompey, Anthony Gose, or Anthony Alford. Despite owning one of the highest-graded speed tools in all of Minor League baseball, though, Davis was forced to repeat a full season with single-A Lansing in 2015.
