SMACK!!! BANG!!! KAPOW!!!
The Dark Knight, aka Batman, returning to the theatres you ask?
Well…yes…but the sounds the Arlington faithful is hearing this July is the sounds of crushed baseballs.
Texas Rangers mashing first baseman Chris Davis has made his major league debut and is NOW available in all leagues. The left-handed hitting Davis is listed as being both the exact same height as well as weight as his new Rangers teammate - Josh Hamilton.
Manager Ron Washington can only dream that yet another addition to the Rangers growing arsenal of “batting practice tape measure men” will be as productive as the Triple Crown dabbling Hamilton .
Davis is still only 22 years old – and still a very ‘raw’ player.
So, we’ll temper our batting average expectations – but his power is undeniable.
We should see him playing in a fair number of games over at first base prior to the All-Star break – or at least until the wrist maligned Hammerin’ Hank Blalock can get that office workers nightmare – carpal tunnel syndrome - to settle down.
