One of the most talented baseball players I have ever seen (even without my rose (Reds) colored glasses).

In both '86 and '87 he finished in the top 5 in the league in both HRs and stolen bases. I think Willie Mays is the only other player to do that multiple years. But Davis accomplished those levels while missing 30+ games (about 1/5th of the season) both years.

In '89 he missed 27 games and still finished 3rd in HR and 4th in RBI.

The talent was definitely there. At least Eric did help the Reds win a world championship! He could have been a HOFer if he had good health.
