Ike Davis has reportedly signed (or is signing) a minor league deal with the Texas Rangers, and the thought has been that the 28 year old lefthanded hitter will be providing the Rangers with first base depth, giving the team someone at AAA who could step in at the major league level should Mitch Moreland go down.
However, Jeff Wilson tweets that he's also viewed as a potential left field option:
#Rangers look at Ike Davis as possible depth at first base and in left field, positions currently occupied by injury-prone players.

Davis as an option in left field seems like a longshot -- while Josh Hamilton is injury-prone, Justin Ruggiano is currently backing him up, and Patrick Kivlehan, Ryan Rua, Nomar Mazara and Joey Gallo are all options on the 40 man roster.
