Well when you are coming off the worst season ever and have a $161M contract, I think you go to something a little better than a strip mall eye doctor.

I am sure the Orioles have fully considered the vision issue.    That’s way too obvious a thing to check.

Worst local ones:  Albert Haynesworth and Gilbert Arenas.  Haynesworth could be a worse contract.

The mall eye doctor and the Johns Hopkins eye doctor should equally able to determine if you have vision problems.

John Wall’s contract is looking pretty bad so far.

It's certainly in the conversation as one of the worst contracts.  I think it's got a chance to be the worst when it's all said and done.

At least Davis has never pulled a gun on a teammate

That might get him suspended or arrested at least.

I like how you are referring him to Hopkins.  I think if you need glasses or contacts you could go down to your local Pearl Vision Center or Lens Crafters and they could hook you up.   Its not like he needs a cornea transplant or has glaucoma. 

The Orioles eye doctor is from the Wilmer Eye Institute (Johns Hopkins).

I guess Pujlos could be argued to be worse. Pujols has provided a total of zero WAR the last 3 seasons and has 3 season more to go.  Davis had one good deal in his contract.   So 6 bad seasons.from Davis.  I guess if you wanted to you could say Pujlos is paid more those 6 last seasons so the deal is worse.  

But really Pujlos was never as bad as Davis was last season and has been at least replacement level.  So it a stretch to call that deal worse.

It looks neck and neck.

Miggy's deal might end up worse.

What I saw from Davis today was very concerning.    It’s one thing to go 0 for 3 with two strikeouts, but those were terrible at bats.    Particularly annoying to me was when the O’s had a runner on 3B, nobody out and Davis took a 1-1 pitch that was outside half, top of the strike zone — perfect sac fly material.   Strike 3 was a close pitch but strike 2 was the RBI opportunity.

I’m trying as hard as I can to keep an open mind, but Davis looks as bad as last year or worse.

The strike out pitch where he just flailed completely at it was pretty bad too.

But yeah...He needed to make some type of contact and get a run in.
