Eric Davis was poised to be one of the great power hitters of his time, but injuries took their toll on the Outfielder.  Davis would have a significant run in the late 1980s where he would become one of the game's premier power hitters putting together four straight 25 Home Run seasons with a pair of Silver Sluggers. 

Davis, who would have over 200 Home Runs and 250 Stolen Bases as a Red which puts him in rare company.  The two-time All-Star also won three Gold Gloves as a Red.

While he would have one good season defensively, his overall tenure in Cincinnati with his glove demoted him on this list, though he had no problem entering the Reds Hall of Fame (2005).
