MLBTR: The Worst Use of a Roster Spot

Pujols’ contract is a joke, but even on the Angels roster, Kole Calhoun (.170/.220/.260), seems like a better candidate for this poll. 

That’s Davis territory.

Calhoun is owed about $15 million.  Pujols $87 million.  Also there's an off chance that Calhoun might rebound.  There's not much hope for a Pujols rebound.

I would argue that Davis and Pujols are comparable, with Davis being younger but being owed more money.  I'd probably call Pujols' roster spot/contract worse if you put a gun to my head, because there is nearly 0 chance he has a bounceback year at 38-41.  Davis might (emphasis on "might") figure it out for one last hurrah sometime between now and the end of his deal.

Where's the CD love? He's owed 92M the next  4 years. Pimple is owed 87 M the next 3, and CD is much worse than Albert.

Davis is owed that much? Still 4 years? Crap

It seems like he has already played 10 years under that contract.  lol

Albert Pujols? Seriously? This poll is a joke.

Davis should be close to the top of that list

Honestly, and not just trying to crucify Chris Davis because that has happened plenty this year, but how is there a list like this and CD is not on it? 

Exactly how many of the people voting for "Other" did not have Chris Davis in mind when casting their vote?  Maybe a dozen?

That’s Davis territory.

Fun fact: Calhoun had a .440 OPS on June 30 and has a 1.115 OPS in July.

Maybe there’s hope for Davis yet.

At this point, I'd try to pick up Blake Sweihart on the cheap. Either waivers if it happens, or Brad Brach. That's about Brach's worth right now.

Kole faced Oriole pitching but Davis doesn't

Yes, saw that. He also made a dramatic change in his stance. The only thing I can see with Davis is a slight drop of his hands pre-load.
