J.J. Davis

At 6-5, 240, he's built like a Steeler. Written off by many, he finally displayed flashes of the power potential that made him the Pirates' first-round (8th pick overall) choice in the 1997 draft. Davis turned in a good season at Triple-A Nashville, hitting.284 with 26 homers (third in the PCL) and 67 RBI with 23 steals, an impressive theft total, considering his size. Davis will need to stay on the roster next season as he is out of minor-league options. He has an outside chance of winning the team's right field job, a chance that improved with the news of Jason Bay's shoulder injury, and if he does he could put up some interesting numbers.

Davis has a tremendous future as a baseball uniform model. He looks great in one. He starts losing points when you ask him to move around, though. He hit .287 at Double-A with some power, his best performance as a pro. He’s expressed an interest in returning to pitching, so if he doesn’t have success at Triple-A this year, look for a conversion.
