You may have the answer. Davis to catch.  Rick can be his full time coach. Send him to instructs to learn the craft. 

Does he hit enough to stick at Catcher?

Might be perfect. Good defensive catchers don’t have to hit.

I’ll wager he’s never had on the gear, little league notwithstanding.

If they bother you that much. Then don't read them. 

How was I supposed to know this was the hundredth post about Davis until I opened it and read it.  Nothing about Davis in the title.

If only they could send him to instructs to learn the craft of hitting.

He hit better than 1 catcher who had more than 100 at bats (Alex Avilia.)

Instructs don't last long enough for that.

Obviously I meant without paying him the rest of his contract. I'm aware nobody forced them, but most jobs don't guarantee pay when you don't perform. 

It is what it is.

 

From the Uniform Player's Contract:

Termination/by Club/ 7.(b)

Quote

 

(2). fail, in the opinion of the Club's management, to exhibit sufficient skill or competitive ability to qualify or continue as a member of the Club's team; or

(3). fail, refuse of neglect to render his services hereunder or in any other manner materially breach this contract.

 

Wish and you shall receive, but good luck with making that stick.  It goes without saying that a lawsuit between billionaire owners of both a sports team and a law firm and a sports celebrity worth nine figures with a union by his side would be considerably more entertaining than 2019 Orioles baseball.

He doesn't hit enough to be an AL pitcher who gets 3 ABs a year in interleague.

The Orioles are used to having catchers who put up 0 RBI’s in a season.

These Chris Davis threads are getting old.  The team signed him to the contract and a lot of you guys were all for it.  He is what he is.  Maybe we can have a ban on Chris Davis posts until spring training starts.  

 

I was not for it.

 

Of course, even the people that weren't for it wouldn't have predicted that he'd be the worst regular in major league history by the 3rd season into it.

Chris Davis is uber done. Cooked. There is nothing to be done. Not even worth discussing.

And now that you know...you can move on then.

“I understand that Mike’s got a lot on his plate right now going into spring training with a new organization and with a lot of work ahead of him and I trust that we will at some point sit down before the season starts and talk about his hopes and aspirations and where I fit into this whole thing and try to get on the same page before we kick the season off."

It bugs me that Davis calls him Mike.  Doesn't seem properly respectful.
