2008: Remember when the Rangers brought up Chris Davis?






Back in June 2008, the Rangers brought up Chris Davis because Hank Blalock was hurt.

Davis was tearing up AAA pitching in Oklahoma City.  

He hit his first home run in 2008.   He hit a lot more, specially after going to Baltimore in 2011.    

Davis hit 42 HR in Texas and has 214 HR already with Baltimore.  

Looking back, the trade made sense in July 2011 because Texas was looking for a second trip to the World Series.   The Orioles, on the other hand, were rebuilding.
