Signing(s): Orioles re-sign Chris Davis

[MS]

It's mindboggling they haven't DFAed him yet and keep trotting him out there.

Even he should be able to see there's no positive - financially or on the field - from continuing to trot out this absolutely awful player every night who is an embarrassing reminder of how terrible the team is run.

Like, a Pujols you can see as he's doing just enough to be able to justify keeping him around. Davis just seems to be nothing more than a stubborn refusal to admit a mistake, cut bait, and move on.

Well, he might be helping them out this year.

.243 AVG, .290 OBP, .697 OPS over his last 356 games

Pujols would've been cut by now if it weren't for his salary

Oh, of course.

But given paying him the remainder of his contract to sit at home or paying him the remainder of his contract to be a replacement-level (or just above) player hitting .240 with 20 HR/80 RBI, it's easy to see why cheap ownership would take the latter.

Davis ... not so much. It's like playing a pitcher at 1B and is just embarrassing for the organization. Paying him to sit at home and not make the team actively worse and be a daily reminder of your incompetence is far better than to keep playing him.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

I wonder if he was like that before.

I'm sure they tolerated it when he led baseball in hr's lol

Gotta have one vet on the roster...

The Orioles are 3.5 games ahead of the Tigers for the first pick (meaning that Detroit currently has the first pick). The Tigers have three games in hand.

Keep trotting out Davis to out-tank the Tigers?

Plus he's Albert Pujols and is legit respected in and out of the game. Little different than DFA'ing a joke like Davis.

The things he's done for people with Down syndrome is awesome and reflects on his character.

The things he's done for people with Down syndrome is awesome and reflects on his character.

And the things he's done at the plate is dreadful and reflects on his abilities.

 

[Bob Richards]

Its kinda awesome how horrific his slash line is and yet its somehow an upgrade from his 2018 season.

Gonna take a lot more than Davis is out-tank that collection of horrible in Detroit.

What an ugly contract given out by a mickey mouse organization

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

And the things he's done at the plate is dreadful and reflects on his abilities.

He should just give all his mvp's and other awards back because after 20 years he isn't good anymore. He's obviously a corpse of himself in terms of ability, but is a hofer as a person.

Career WAR of 100. He was so good in his first dozen years.

"reflects on his abilities"

pujols is a f***ing loser guys. he wasn't able to keep up hall of fame numbers well into his 30's.

10 time all star and a 2 time world series winner, but sure he's a f***ing loser...
