Think the Orioles might go after Ike Davis?

Meh...Is he an upgrade anywhere?

I wouldn't be totally against it though he should never see a left hander under any circumstances.

Really ....hasn't hit over .230 in three years

He's decently effective against right-handers (.247/.360/.405/.765) but like others have said, I don't see him as an upgrade anywhere.

He's also pretty slow on the base-paths. I suspect that the Orioles do not want to acquire another slow player for the squad in 2015, unless he has at least one or two other HUGE upsides .... which I don't believe that Davis has.

No to any old slow guys

The O's need to get younger and faster.

If they are stuck with slow regulars, Machado, Hardy, Schoop, Markakis, Wieters, etc..

than at least get some speed on the bench

I think we should add Ike AND Billy Butler. They should then have races with Ike, Butler, and Wieters to take the place of the condiment races on the big screen. That would be awesome entertainment!

Is he coming over on a MiL depth deal? Even at league minimum, he'd be taking up a roster spot in my opinion.

I sure hope we do. Good OBP guy who can play as part of a DH platoon if Cruz leaves.

Ike Davis is a good OBP guy? I guess it's ok, .336 for his career. But for a first baseman with Nick Markakis' power the last couple years? The O's already have a first baseman trying to have a comeback season. I'm not sure two does anything for them.

I doubt it'll take anything more than a minor league deal or almost minimum contract to get him on board. I'd give him a chance, since he'd have more potential than most of those depth signings that Duquette does.

Your definition of slow is apparently not fast.
