Chris Davis - HOS?

Hall of Shame?

Holy cow, is this God awful and scorching:

Chris Davis Might Be Having the Worst Season Ever | FanGraphs Baseball

I mean, comparisons to Jon Lester’s batting prowess! Ow, ow!

I don’t even care about Baltimore promotions at this point. Not going.

Baysox maybe - I could use a car wash and more interesting baseball.

Former Ranger great. They stole Koji Uehara from the O's for him and Tommy Hunter.

Still takes up a roster spot though.

I suppose there is no form of insurance against damn near total performance collapse?

This is getting worse than Albert Belle territory.

Not really. They could probably fake an injury to get him on the DL with his cooperation, and maybe hope that the time off will help him out in some way. But, he's not really under any obligation to "help" them out. Without his cooperation, their only options are to play him, bench him or release him.

Lot's of mostly worthless first baseman making tens of millions the next few years -- Davis, Miguel Cabrera, Albert Pujols. Joey Votto will probably join the list before he's done. Prince Fielder still making $24m/year for the next two years as well.

To be a little fair to Prince, he had neck surgery -- at 32 -- that forced him to never play again. It's not like he just flat out sucked -- the year before he retired he was an All-Star and played in 158 games.
