BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues
OWNED IN: 43% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: After Khris Davis was traded to the Oakland Athletics in mid-February, the concern became whether he will remain fantasy relevant for the Oakland Athletics while playing half of his games at O.Co Coliseum. So far the resounding answer is: Yes.
Davis had enjoyed 20+ HR campaigns in each of the last two seasons in Milwaukee and was seemingly turning into a budding star. However the Brewers obviously did not have him in their long term plans and figured his career .248 BA and .279 BABIP were just not good enough. The Athletics, who were starving for OF talent, jumped on the chance to bring Davis into the fold and he has produced immediately. He is already well on his way to matching and/or eclipsing his previous highs in HR(27), RBI(69) and BABIP(.293). The minuscule 2.8 BB% is cause for concern early on while his 41.3 Hard% contact rate is at a very respectable level. Davis is never going to be a guy that hits for average but he has proven to show off the power stroke even in the tough ballpark in Oakland. If you are in need of power hitting from your OF spot, Davis is a surefire way to fix that problem in a hurry. It is only a matter of time before he reaches 30 HR and then he becomes a must own.
