Henry is in his first full season in the Indians organization after being selected in the 7th round of the 2009 Draft out of the University of Mississippi. He has been a tablesetter all season in Kinston, and leaves the Carolina League ranked 4th with a .333 batting average, 1st with a .438 on-base percentage, 6th with 14 stolen bases, and was tied for 4th with 30 walks. Last year at short-season Single-A he led the NY-Penn League with a .408 on-base percentage.
Davis played in five games with the Aeros since his promotion June 4th to fill the roster spot of new Columbus Clipper Jared Goedert. He batted .176 overall and showcased his versatility by starting at third base, center field, right field and left field in four consecutive games.

Good to see another draft pick rising quickly through the ranks. I know very little about Henry. What is his big league potential? Is there any pop in his bat or does he project to be a fourth outfielder? Either way nice to see a seventh round pick moving up so quickly.
Ryan, Henry hasn't hit homer since before High School I believe. But he is a High OBP guy with speed. For some reason I am seeing Juan Pierre with better plate discipline and a willingness to take a walk. Fair value there.
They are being super aggressive this year with promotions, players are going to have to prove themselves constantly. it is almost a bit shocking after all the years of one level at a time
The Indians are certainly pushing guys up this year, which is good to see for a change. It was one of their goals before the season started to get the top two levels aligned properly to see what they have and we are seeing that.
By the way, Henry has almost no pop, but is a burner who plays a good centerfield and who has an unbelievable eye at the plate. Outstanding plate discipline as he will work counts and draw walks and rarely strikeout. Saw a comp recently to Brett Butler, which is obviously his best case scenario, and one I would be happy with.
