Sunday: Battle of AAA First Basemen

Just a quick thought for today . . . .

For all those who were calling for Chris Davis' head early in the season in favor of Justin Smoak, check out their stats at AAA this season (as of Friday morning):

Chris Davis: .327/.421/.540 with 35 strikeouts in 150 ABs
Justin Smoak: .239/.354/.356, 36 with 36 strikeouts in 163 ABs

Smoak will be a great player eventually, but for now I think it's unfounded to suggest that he needs to replace Davis. One thing I think we can all agree on: it's time for Davis to come back and replace Blalock . . . .
