Trumbo getting hot

Davis would sit on my bench if I was coaching. I would have him showing up to warmups early and have him bunt against the shift. When he proved he could do it, then he would see some playing time. Mancini would be given 1B and Davis and Trumbo could share DH.

Even better idea

Cool. On the same page. I have often said they could also just melt down all of Davis’ unsold merch and dump it at the bottom of the bay and have a fish reef. Tax write-off. 

Enough garbage in the bay already because of rain. Don't need Oriole garbage.  Dump it at Camden Yards. Enough garbage was seen there this season for a lifetime.

I really, really, really dislike Trumbo. Not only his game, he looks sour all the time. When the history books are written, I would be curious to know from people on the inside whether his deal was DD, ownership, Buck, or Brady. Not quite as egregious as Davis, but a terrible deal that gets even worse in hindsight.

Trumbo is well regarded in the clubhouse and that was a big reason he was brought back.  He acts like a professional hitter, takes his job seriously, and puts in the time.  Other players have said he is like having a second hitting coach.  There are worse players you could have in a clubhouse.

Oh, ok. We're going serious and not lighthearted on this one. I agree. In a related note, I have been fascinated with this contraption since I first spotted it. Clears far more trash out of the water than would have ever imagined.

I can live with carrying Trumbo through next season.  Davis on the other hand...

Trumbo just hits better when he doesn’t DH. Look at his 2018 splits,

DH- .692 OPS, 230 PA

RF: .921 OPS, 73 PA

1B:1.091 OPS, 11PA

Career:

DH: .701 OPS

RF : .862

1B: .764

Trumbo should be playing 1B.  Mancini at DH.  Davis on bench

I wish there was some public way to know who does and doesn't clear them.

And by bench you mean retirement or the Independent league.

I'm sure there are a few softball teams who would love to have him as well.

Second career for Davis, be a ringer in recreational softball leagues.

Trumbo is now tied with nine others for 41st in the AL home run standings.
