MESA, Ariz. -- "He's a pretty confident guy."
A's manager Bob Melvin was talking about Mr. Consistent. That wasn't his actual nickname, but it might as well have been.
"Keep him healthy and he's been known to hit .247 and 40 home runs," Melvin said as he smiled.
Khris Davis walked through the clubhouse with a new hairstyle. The cornrows were gone, but the confidence remained.
The main goal is just to get him to Opening Day, Melvin said. That goal was important because of injuries the designated hitter suffered in 2019. The bug he couldn't quite escape from.
