Chris Davis 2019 and beyond

[interloper]

"You know, I had that hip strain in Spring Training and just never really felt right all year", Davis said when asked about batting under .200 for the second consecutive year. 

The Roch blog writes itself honestly.

Hoping he needs a hip replacement so insurance pays most of the rest of his contract.

Pretty much. Why should Boras agree to lesser pay than what he signed up for?

I gave you an out and you didn't take it.

IT ISN'T BORAS' DECISION!

Geez people.

He works for the player.

He doesn't decide if a player is going to take a buyout.

If Davis is amendable to a buyout Boras' job because negotiating the most favorable buyout for his client that he can.

If you are talking about Boras' fee it isn't going down because Davis later agrees to a buyout.

He's like Bo Jackson minus 100% of the ability.

First time in history replacing a player with Jace Peterson improved the lineup.

Hmm,  Albert Belle had to retire because of his degenerative hip.

Maybe Davis and Trumbo can form a band if this baseball thing doesn't work out. The Tragically Unhip.

You know, this might be the everyone-is-a-sorta-winner scenario. Davis has chronic hip condition that no longer lets him play, he gets to retire with some dignity, + some cover for his historic ineptness. O's get insurance payout to cover a % of the albatross contract.. Opens first for Mancini / Mountcastle. Hmmmmmm......

Unless the insurance policy was written to compensate the Orioles for the approximate dollar value of Davis' expected production.  In that case the O's would be paying the insurance company $20M a year.

Sounds about right. Calling an audible on the band name. How 'bout Swing and Mister Mister instead?

Is this supposed to be an Oxymoron?
