MLB.com 2015 Prospect Watch | #30 Dylan Davis, The One Lucius Fox Theory and The Cape Cod League Drinking Game

Dylan Davis is the #30 prospect on MLB.com's vaunted 2015 Prospect Watch (the one that elevated Keury Mella to #1 prospect status overnight). The new drinking game is going to be whenever a Giants prospect report mentions prowess in the Cape Cod League, you get to hoist a frosty beverage.

So here's to you Dylan Davis.

BTW: Chase Johnson is listed as #29 on the list and no mention of the Cape Cod League, therefore, BORING, We're going to skip him, but we did feature him previously.

I like both a little better than MLB.com with Johnson at #15 and Davis at #17 but I also have not forced the most recent 2015 draftees to the head of my prospect list based on no professional activity to draw on. MLB.com acts like a kid under the Christmas tree, the new toy is always better that the old toy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah....The Giants better hope that Lucius Fox is as good as these guys rank him initially, what with the $6 million dollar bonus and all. No offense to Lucius, but that buys you six Jalen Miller's and I'm not sure I wouldn't want one Jalen Miller over one Lucius Fox, so if I can get SIX Jalen Miller's and only two or three of THEM work out, I think I do that deal. I know somebody is going to smack me up side the head with economic theory and scarcity of resources or supply and demand and that we live in a world where there is only ONE Lucius Fox (blah, blah, blah, blah, blah), but somehow I suspect that next year and the year after and the year after that, we'll be talking about kids who comp to Lucius Fox, So there you go.

WHEW!! That took some effort!!

  The Giants have had success drafting players out of Oregon State in recent years, getting three big leaguers in Tyler Graham (2006), Joe Paterson (2007) and Andrew Susac (2011) and a possible fourth in Josh Osich (2011). San Francisco went back to the Beavers in June 2014, plucking Davis in the third round.

  All about power, Davis established his bona fides by winning the Cape Cod League home run derby in 2012 and leading the premier summer college circuit with a .567 slugging percentage in 2013. He combines bat speed and strength, allowing him to crush balls out of any part of the ballpark. He can get pull-conscious at times and will have to manage the strike zone better if he's to hit for average. 

  Davis has plenty of power in his right arm, with a fastball clocked as high as 97 mph during his rare college mound appearances. He prefers playing every day to pitching, so he'll put that arm strength to good use in right field. Though he's a below-average runner, he's a decent defender.
