Good morning, Camden Chatters.
We’re two and a half weeks into 2019. How is your year going? Did you make any resolutions — and have you actually stuck to them so far?
Chris Davis’ new year’s resolution may well have been, “Try not to be the worst player in baseball again.” After batting .168 last season, the worst mark in major league history, Davis has a lot of work to do this winter if there’s any hope of the O’s getting a return on their remaining $92 million investment in him.
Davis’ offseason routine is facing a bit more scrutiny this year, after the brouhaha that developed in June when MASN broadcaster and Hall of Famer Jim Palmer ripped Davis for not working with then-hitting coach Scott Coolbaugh last winter.
