Chris Davis is a Keeper

[brianod]

Not too shabby for a replacement player...

Forgive me if I gloat!

[Justinlstn]

yeah..ill vote to keep him a year or two

[casadeozo]

I'm not sure where the debate is. Dempsey says he is going to be Mike Schmidt. Nuff said.

I'd be happy for him to give you many more gloating opportunities.

Dempsey says Davis reminds him of Mike Schmidt when Schmidt was young. All kinds of holes in his swing, not enough patience. But, when he hits it, it goes a long way. Went on to say that Schmidt corrected the holes and became more patient with experience. All you guys making judgments on his stats as a 22 yr old rookie are simply wrong. I highly doubt Davis will become Schmidt but let's let him try...

Fun as this is to watch, do I get to spike the football and do a funky end zone dance after his next 0-30 with 12 Ks?

Chris Davis is Tony Batista - except he strikes out more often. (Yikes!)

Tony Batista's stats look a lot better in today's game versus the era he played.

I was worried he wouldn't get a shot at 4.

You can do whatever you want, if that happens have fun.

Mike Schmidt never walked less than 13% of the time in any full season until he was nearly 39.

Letting the air out of our collective balloons....

He also never hit a homerun to Eutaw Street. :laughlol:

I can't believe this is an actual discussion. This is what happens when Dempsey is allowed to talk for more than a few minutes a game.

No. Because he's a bird. And we never celebrate when our birds do poorly. :thumbsup1:

Absolutely true, and I would certainly love for him to make me look like an idiot. And a few pitchers along the way. :beerchug1:
