Analysis: Ike Davis slammed 32 home runs for the New York Mets in 2012 and holds a career .742 OPS. He has been battered by injuries for the larger part of the past five seasons, and accrued 14 at-bats in the big leagues in 2016 with the Yankees.

Morrow was 1-0 with a 1.69 ERA in 18 games  with the Padres in 2016. He holds a career 9.1 strikeouts per nine innings ratio, a testament to his ability and promise.

If the Dodgers can cultivate a role where Davis and Morrow contribute to the big league club in 2017, these quiet signings will be lauded come October.
