Chris Davis 2019 and beyond

[SeaBird]

Let him use a Cricket bat.  Greater chance making contact with a much larger  hitting surface.

Only if he swings it.

Davis is easily turning in the worst season ever for a 1st baseman at the plate.  Here's the worst hitter in history as a position player.  Even Davis can't top this:

 

Bergen had 3,228 at-bats in his career, and in that time he compiled a batting average of .170, the all-time record low for players who compiled more than 2,500 plate appearances. Three pitchers with more than 2,500 plate appearances managed higher career batting averages than Bergen: Pud Galvin with .201, Bobby Mathews with .203, and Cy Young with .210. Among position players, the next lowest career batting average is Billy Sullivan with .213. Bergen’s career on-base percentage was .194—he is the only player with at least 500 at-bats with an OBP under .200. He had only two home runs. In 1909, Bergen hit .139, the lowest average ever for a player who qualified for the batting title. That season, he set another record for futility by going 46 at-bats in a row without a base hit, the longest streak ever by a position player (pitcher Bob Buhl went 88 at-bats without a hit).[3] From 1904 to 1911, Dodger pitchers as a group outhit Bergen, .169 to .162.

That shouldn't be a problem if he was hitting HRs. I don't think the NYY are getting rid of Judge any time soon.

Chris Davis is fourth in ABs in the team while having a .463 OPS, good for 17th. Why is this embarrassment allowed to continue? How long before they finally do the right thing and bench/DFA/buy him out? 

[gtman55]

Or at least put him on the DL or something. As far as a buyout or DFA, that's not going to happen.

What was the point of a new thread on this topic.  I'm all for a good kick Davis-while-he's-down thing, but there are plenty of threads about this exact issue.

How long before a moratorium is called on new bash Chris Davis threads?

Sorry, only read the subject line.

[maybenxtyr]

How long??? Until some changes are made? Or, how long will Davis blah blah???

 

I'm not a thread monitor, but there are like a hundred of them already.

I knew a "that's what she said" reply was coming.

I'd much prefer one on the Adderall discussions, personally.

But on the bright side he OPSed .500 today so he raised his overall OPS.
