BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues
OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Another forgotten player this year is Oakland A’s first baseman Ike Davis. The once highly touted Mets prospect seems poised for a bounce back season in the bay area.
After his breakout season in 2012 when Davis hit 32 HR, the lefty slugger has had a disastrous couple of years. Things got so bad in 2014 that the Mets gave up on Davis and shipped him off to the Pirates where he continued to struggle.
Davis is one of those frustrating players because the talent and power are easy to see, but he disappears for long periods of time. So far in the early weeks of the 2015 campaign Davis has looked a bit more like his old self, hitting .340 with one HR in the middle of a solid A’s lineup. There is no telling how long this new found success will last, but while it does Davis can be a very useful addition to a fantasy team seeking first base, corner infield or util production. A change of scenery to the American League can sometimes do wonders for a player looking to renew their power stroke. Davis can fall off dramatically at any time, but he should be picked up in deep leagues while he is hitting well.
