Chris Davis has started 1-for-12 with seven strikeouts. Do you have any concerns about that?

“Well, he’s in great shape. The work that he did this winter seems to be the right stuff to work on. He had a bad season last year, but we’re not dwelling on spring training results yet. But we’ll keep an eye on it. If a time comes to intervene and change direction with the work that’s going on, we’ll be ready to do that. But right now it’s very early.”

Elias on Davis from yesterday's broadcast.

How did you quote all of that? Is there a way to replay the broadcasts?

It was transcribed on Melewski's blog this morning. Sorry, should have linked.

Boras is his agent so I would be shocked if any buyout happens. Its just not in the contract. 

I'd play him every day in the Spring and hope injury occurs.

Yeah, I mean I guess we shouldn't worry about Davis this early, just like we shouldn't be talking about Santander being the starting left fielder. Goes both ways.

No problem. I just stumbled on it myself.

Davis scratched from lineup.

The cynic in me is saying, "cue the mild injury/illness he'll use as his go-to excuse for struggling all year", but we'll see.

If Davis wants to be a hypochondriac and stay on the DL all season that is fine by me.

It’s never too early to worry about Davis.

I will take out of sight, out of mind. It feels less like we're wasting money when I'm not reminded of it every couple innings.

Exactly, if it’s the same old Davis I don’t want to see him on the field. Any excuse to keep him away works for me.

What you mean by this is the type of player that would have Boras as an agent woudln't agree to a buyout right?

 

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