November 26, 2008 Chris Davis has been named the Rangers' rookie of the year for 2008, according to the Dallas Morning News.
Our View:Davis beat out David Murphy for the honor by hitting .285 with 17 homers and 55 RBI over 80 games. He was the AL Rookie of the Month back in July as well.
September 15, 2008 Chris Davis is getting a night off tonight due to a slightly sore back, according to the Dallas Morning News.
Our View:The back injury will not keep Davis out of the lineup for very long. He should be back in the lineup tomorrow.
September 10, 2008 Chris Davis hit his 15th home run of the year on Wednesday as he knocked in his 43rd run of the year in his 66th game. Hank Blalock also went deep for the fifth time this season.
Our View:Davis hand't knocked in a run in six games, and it had been 10 games since he went deep. With the continued health issues of Milton Bradley, there have been plenty at-bats to go around for all the teams bats. Davis has clearly shown enough to warrant a look next season as a potential 30 homer bat.
August 29, 2008 Chris Davis went deep for the 14th time this season on Wednesday night as he had two hits and two RBI. Milton Bradley also went deep for the Rangers (22nd on the year).
Our View:Hank Blalock went 1-for-4 from first base as Davis continues to see time at third base. Davis already qualifies at first base for next season (48 games), and need 12 more appearances at third base as well (eight games this season).
August 19, 2008 Chris Davis went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer against the Tigers on Tuesday night. Those three runs were all that the Rangers scored.
Our View:It was a rare quiet night for the most productive lineup in the majors. Davis's numbers have slumped over the past two weeks, and it's nice to see him have a big game like this.
