    "He is right up there at the top," said Hartleb, a former catcher. "He's as athletic as any catcher we've had and he throws better than any of the high draft picks.

    "We don't have many stolen base attempts against us. He also receives well. He makes the pitching staff better. He has matured so much in a three-year period, and as he gets more and more at-bats he'll continue to be a force at the plate."

    Sounds like a nice guy to have in the system even if he never sniffs the majors.

    Seems to have pop and a good arm as a catcher. I like this pick.

    Calls his own games already. That is a help.

    Some more info:
    Adam Davis - C - Illinois - Jr. Bats: R Thows: R. 6'0" 215. Last Drafted: Never.

    The 3-hole hitter for the Fighting Illini, Davis is a free swinger at the plate who could stand to be a little more patient as he's walked just 7 times this season. He sits on top of the plate and uses his quick hands to spray line drives to all fields. Behind the dish is where Davis really shines. Consistently posting pop times in the 1.9 range, Davis uses his arm to deter would be base stealers by aggressively throwing to all bases. Though not a burner by any means, Davis does have above average speed for a catcher. A Second Team All-Big Ten selection, Davis may have opened some eyes this weekend with the increased exposure of the tournament on his way to earning the Tournament's Most Outstanding Player honor.

    Potential back-up catcher. Good get for the round.

    Adam was 5 for 7 during the weekend games vs Connecticut and batting .333 in his last 10 games, I like his potential.
