Chris Davis: the key to 2015?

[Ed-die... Ed-die]

With all the additions and subtractions to the everyday lineup, I still think Chris Davis' comeback is the key to the O's 2015 offense.

Somehow replacing most of Nelson #s is huge.

I feel that there is so much potential offense throughout the lineup that it's not necessary to pin our hopes on one particular comeback. Even if Davis turns in a year somewhere between his 2012 and 2014 performances, big, but not totally surprising leaps from several of Manny, Wieters, Schoop, Snider, Lough, and Cabrera, along with a good degree of continuity from Jones, Pierce, and Hardy should be plenty of offense.

[Ed-die... Ed-die]

Hope you're right.... I think we'd all love a serious bounce-back from Chris though.

There is no one key to 2015. Suppose Ubaldo has a career year? Suppose, Manny blows up like he is quite capable of doing? Suppose Wieters is healthy and hits like he did the first of last season? Suppose Gausman steps up and pitches like an ace, or Tillman does? Any of these things could happen, and each would be key.

I may be wrong, but I think if all of our players play to their career averages, we are in for a good year.

I think Chris is ready to turn back into "CRUSH" Davis!

With all the supposed leap forwards mention, how did no one mention Bundy potentially dominating and forcing his way into the rotation?

Or should we wait until next year for that?

Won't happen this year unless a lot goes wrong or we pull off a big trade.

I would agree to this. Hopefully, Chris can work all of his issues out.

Davis/Machado. 50/50 keys.

Matt is going to be Matt. Not last year's hot start Matt.
