Chris Davis and his “slightly-above the Mendoza Line average” are back in the lineup for the Baltimore Orioles this evening against Houston. Don’t misinterpret that line as a knock on Davis. There’s no question that he’s as valuable as anyone else to this franchise. I would submit that yesterday’s off day might have done him some good as well. But to this point he hasn’t produced in the manner that the O’s would have expected or wanted.
I would also submit that perhaps the absence of Matt Wieters is playing a role in that as well.
