Here is what is happening with the Davis situation this year:
-The O's owe him a lot of money over a lot of years.
-This year is lost no matter what you do.
-Since the year is lost, and they owe him a lot of money, they might as well play him everyday and HOPE he figures it out.
They literally have nothing to lose. If you are thinking about cutting the guy loose next year, and pay him 3 more years, better make damn sure he is completely done. Besides, taking him out of the lineup might result in more wins, and a worse draft position.
