Has Elias a past history of dumping a salary this large?  

The sons being vetted by MLB, for what?  Making irrational decisions?  How do they go about doing that, do they have to fill out a standardized tests?

 

I hear the wine and dine section is a real doozy.

What if the employer made him the guy who cleans the toilets and mops up old people's mistakes in the rec room? That's Davis as late-inning defensive replacement, pinchhitter for Martin against RHP, and mop-up reliever in blow-outs. Otherwise rotting at the end of the bench, maybe throwing peanuts or sunflower seeds after someone else's home run.

I hardly would compare staying at 5 star hotels with a huge per diem while sitting in the dugout cheering on your teammates compares to being to being a janitor.

Elias was never a GM before. The most he could do would be to fire a scout who is on a year to year contract.

The daily humiliation, the blame for wasting a roster spot and helping one's team to lose. The disgrace of looking like a pig in that 5-star hotel and front-row dugout seat and clubhouse while dragging one's teammates down, the constant implicit poke at the front office's past stupidity and present paralysis. All disgrace is relative to one's position in the world. The Rich & Famous commit suicide too.

I really find issues with this post.  Do you think janitors are a disgrace?  Most of the ones I see are immigrants trying to help their families make it in this country.  Davis' job is a cakewalk.  I have worked with incompetent people before. None of them seemed depressed.

I agree. 

This is how I've felt about him being on a rebuilding team.  It's bad optics, no matter how you look at it... unless one is a casual fan who sees the Orioles as indulging him to get his game turned around.  There can't be many of those left.  Team mates seeing futility, ownership regretting a bad signing... it's not healthy to have him around.  I harbor him no ill-will and wish he could turn it around, but he can't - be honest - he just needs to disappear.  He's a reminder of bad in every way.

Then you get to spend the off season in Texas where there are no Orioles fans who care about your performance.

Of Davis can avoid the intensity of another 0 fer record run then I think there is no way  he retires before the end of his contract. I think there’s a slim chance he retires even if he approaches another record that attracts national media and the wrath of fans. The Orioles are going to have to blink on this one. 

...and this is why I don't think he's really going anywhere.  I would sort of be shocked... happy, but shocked, if he was let go.  And he's not going to hang it up, so the O's have to make the decision.

edit... it's a stalemate.

They'll get rid of him when he is blocking a valuable young player of the future.

DJ Stewart will be ready to come off the DL soon.

He got pulled from his game in the GCL today after 2 at bats.  He was DH'ing.  A little odd that he is rehabbing there rather than one of the higher affiliates.

Not odd if he was rehabbing in Sarasota.
