Baltimore Orioles: Chris Davis benching won’t help Orioles

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/designated hitter Chris Davis has undergone a season of perpetual struggle. Davis posted a .167/.257/.256 line in April and things never got any better.

He’ll finish the season with a line of .168/.243/.296 with 16 homers, just 12 doubles and 192 strikeouts. And as we’ve all been made aware, his .168 AVG is the worst in MLB history among qualified batters.
