The first of three Diamondbacks supplemental first-round pick in 2009, Davidson
signed for 900,000$. Arizona has pushed him aggressively, sending him to
short-season Yakima for his pro debut and promoting him to high Class A at age
19 last August. He looked overmatched at those stops, but in between he earned
all-star honors playing against competition closer to his age in the low Class
A Midwest League. One Diamondbacks scout proclaimed Davidson as the "crown
jewel of the system", and MWL observers clearly preferred him to fellow South
Bend third baseman Bobby Borchering, a 2009 first-rounder. Thanks to his quick
hands, Davidson has above-average power to all field. He's not afraid to let
ball travel deep and should hit for a solid average as well. With below-average
speed and fringy range, he won't be more than adequate at third base, but he's
better than Borchering defensively. Arizona thinks Davidson can stay at the hot
corner. With his strong arm, he should move to an outfield corner if necessary.
A potential cleanup hitter in the majors, Davidson will return to Visalia,
where he'll once again team up with many of the system's top prospects. The
downside is that he'll have to share third base with Borchering again rather
than getting daily reps at the hot corner.
