Khris Davis made a case for himself as a star last season when he hit 42 bombs for the A’s. He also has a lot of respect for the city of Oakland and proved that during the offseason.

Khris Davis spent offseason in Oakland. "I wanted to feel Oakland. I love it. I love the city."

In 2016, the 29-year-old, in addition to home runs, hit a career high 102 RBI’s with a .247/.307/.524 line. He of course did all of this at O.co Coliseum, which is difficult on either side of the ball.

Davis does well against lefties and will be an under-the-radar fantasy pick for those who feel inclined.
