Daniel Makarewicz - a reporter from Quad Cities - tweeted today that QC's Chase Davidson has been placed on the Temporarily Inactive List, and J.J. Jankowski has been brought up from Extended Spring Training.
Davidson is remarkable as he was drafted in the 3rd Round of the 2008 draft, but ultimately didn't sign (Drayton's Hard Slot - an adult film). He went on to the University of Georgia, struggled, and fell to the Astros in the 41st Round of the 2011 draft. As a senior, he didn't have much choice. He's hitting .263/.330/.368 in four games for Quad Cities.
Jankowski is another re-draft for the Astros. He was drafted in the 34th Round of the same 2008 draft, didn't sign, and was drafted in the 34th Round of the 2012 draft. For Greeneville (a league he was a touch old for), he struck out 53 batters in 32.1IP in 2012.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.

With their 41st Round pick...
...The Astros select 6'5" 222lb Chase Davidson, 1B out of Georgia.
Perhaps you remember Davidson from the Fateful 2008 Draft, when the Astros selected him with their 3rd Round pick, and then weren't able to sign him.
Ballyhooed as a high school prospect, Davidson went on to Georgia, where he hit .231 in 2009, .189 in 2010, and bounced back with a .278/.341/.497 line in 2011, with 50K:13BB.
