Davis rode the shuttle from Triple-A Buffalo to Cleveland and back again last season until he was included in the trade that brought Richie Sexson to the Brewers. Davis has a good arm, particularly considering he had reconstructive elbow surgery while in the Pirates organization in 1997. He went 1-11 the following season, after which he became a free agent and signed with the Indians. A power pitcher who relies too much on his fastball at times, Davis has been erratic yet shows enough potential to tease. He has been a starter throughout his minor league career but may have to pitch out of the bullpen to find a niche in the majors. He's out of options, so spring training will be important for Davis. He could prove to be one of those Quadruple-A pitchers who never quite makes it in the big leagues.
