It doesn't have me bummed.   I don't know about any of you guys but I've learned a lot about myself in regards to the whole Davis situation.  I've been pretty harsh on here, maybe a little too ha

According to BR's Play Index, it's a tie between Rob Deer (1991) and Dan Uggla (2013). They each hit .179 in 500+ plate appearances.

Well I think Chris has a good chance of hitting less than. 179.  Question is can he get the required plate appearances

Not unless it’s in his church softball league.  Unlikely he’s still in baseball in three years. 

Hahahahahahaha you really think the Orioles will pay him 100 million more to not be on their team? He's going to be in the lineup for the next 5 years, even if he's batting sub .150.

If anyone recalls our current hitting coach was brought in at Davis's suggestion and he credited him with his success.  Coolbaugh has been a flop with CD and the rest of our hitters and should have been replaced a year ago. I've written on here several times over the last few years that CD should go to a lighter bat. I don't know what weight bat he is using but he isn't getting around fast enough. A lighter bat would help him.  Any hitting instructor would tell him that and he might improve his BA and power numbers.  This is not rocket science. The other ideas about him having vision problems and needing contacts is not far fetched.  He needs to return to Florida for extended ST and we need to bring in a top hitting instructor like a Wade Boggs to try to help him.  There is too much money invested in him to let him continue to self destruct and ruin the teams chances to win in the future.

First baseman Chris Davis, whose seven-year, $161 million contract signed in 2016 now appears to be the sort of awful deal that can cripple a franchise, has a .088/.225/.176 slash line and snapped a bat over his knee in frustration Monday night. Second baseman Jonathan Schoop, a first-time all-star in 2017, is at .200/.231/.320. Right-hander Kevin Gausman, last year’s Opening Day starter, has an 8.00 ERA after two starts. Right-hander Alex Cobb, signed to a four-year, $60 million contract just three weeks ago, has been building up arm strength in Florida and will make his season debut Saturday in Boston.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Chromehill · Posted

      Elias should be aggressive.  I think last year, a lot of the players were happy to be there, win the AL East, best record in the AL, great season.  They have a window of 3 to 4 years, be aggressive, you never know what can happen.  Go into the postseason with just Burnes and Grayson as your stud starters and a bunch of question marks and make an early exit again...the players might not be too happy that Elias was not aggressiv.  That could impact their staying in Baltimore.   One thing Ripken has said, it was great winning the World Series his second season, he thought he would get several more, never made it back there.   Go after it while the opportunity is there.

      How much faith do you have in Elias to address the needs this month?

      I don't see Angelos agreeing to $11M for a half season of Scherzer.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      You may be right. But I am sure the players (most/hopefully all) can tell the difference between the chances you have with Povich/Irvin starting and with Skubal/Crochet/Scherzer starting (especially in the playoffs).

      Holliday, Mayo or Basallo

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      I have zero interest in trading any of these guys, but I think Holliday is still a cut above the other two because he’s going to produce a lot of defensive value at 2B (or CF). I still have faith in his bat, his minor league production at the age/levels he’s been at (including after going back down to AAA) is too good to think he’ll completely flop at the MLB level. Basallo and Mayo are very tough. Mayo is a simply incredible offensive prospect, and MLB ready now whereas Basallo still needs some development. I’m more excited to see Mayo at the plate than any other of the recent Orioles prospects, I think he’s going to be amazing. But his upside defensively is still limited compared to Basallo. At best he’s an average 3B. Basallo at best is an above average C, and even if he’s just average or even below average (but startable) at C that’s more valuable. Mayo may have an edge as a prospect over Basallo just by being closer to the majors, but there’s a better path for Basallo to contributing defensively for the Orioles’ current team composition by starting 60-80 games behind Adley (in the next 3 years we have Adley).

      Have we ever had this big a chunk of $$$ to spend on stadium enhancements before?

      Is last year what he chose to do? Or was it what he was forced to do given the limitations imposed on him? Of course, nobody knows, but it is possible that Mike’s personal game is to try and find unexpected solutions. The Lopez and Mancini trades, finding Suarez and several of our successful relievers, O’Hearn, Urias, Mateo all waiver claims, can only be counted as unexpected victories. Flaherty and Fuji are among his uncommon failures. So there is precedent. Mike certainly doesn’t want to waste any assets, but I’m confident that he doesn’t want to spend them at all unless he has to. I think I am the only vote for him doing nothing and I certainly hope I’m wrong, but it certainly can be argued that he is confident that more waiver claims, or “down ballot voting” will get him enough to continue the momentum he wants.
