Goldeyes manager Rick Forney announced that the Chicago White
Sox have purchased Matt Davis’s contract. He is the fourth
member of the 2007 club and 51st player in franchise history to
be picked up by a big league organization.
Davis, 26, joined
the Goldeyes last April following four years in the Cleveland
system. One of six players to represent the club at the Northern
League All-Star Game, he went 6-2 with 18 saves and a 2.98 earned
run average in a team-leading 44 appearances.
His saves
total was good for third in the league, as were his 62 relief
points, while his saves were the third most in a single-season in
franchise history.
Davis follows Luis Alen (New York
Mets), Brent Metheny (Chicago White Sox) and Dustin Pease (Kansas
City) as Goldeyes picked up since the end of the 2007 season.
