Would you be doing interviews if you were hitting .150 and knocking down $27 mil per?? LOL

You would if the club asked you to.  It's part of the contract.  That being said, I don't think the O's have any interest in making him feel worse.

Don't worry Brady's got this.

Actually Brady is pretty good regarding a short powerful rotational swing. 

Which Davis has gradually gotten more and more linear by not “staying connected” throughout his swing.

Look up Mike Epstein  and his teachings on rotational vs linear swing and then watch footage of Davis during his good years vs now. 

Long story short, his swing has become much more arms(Long) and less rotational(body/power/short). This accounts for his bat speed issues.

If Brady fixes Davis, I’ll lobby for him to get the GM job.

I’m not saying that he could. I’m just saying that Brady was actually good at what Davis has been getting worse and worse at.

Very good analysis.

I won't.  But I might lobby for him to become Ambassador to Sri Lanka or maybe Tonga where he can work on his tan and do a helluva lot less overall damage to something I care about.

You don't care about our relations with Tonga?

I wasn’t being serious and I think there is no fixing Davis.

My biggest concern is they can’t find any candidate, and we get Brady and/or Buck running the show.

Anyone that doesn't have one of these jobs would take it. Anyone.

I have considerably more confidence in the good people of Tonga to recognize reality and exercise common sense than the ownership of the Baltimore Orioles.  Considerably.

They'll do just fine...

I’ve been feeling sorry for the guy. If this “renovation” is only happening because the Orioles have put a gun to his head, I’m going to have to rethink that.

What did Einstein say?  The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?
