If the Orioles’ 2017 season was to be encapsulated into one player, it might be Chris Davis. Davis finished the year with a .215/.309/.423 batting line. That’s good for a .732 OPS and a 95 OPS+. Another way to look at that is that the player with the largest ever Orioles contract couldn’t even manage to be a league average hitter in the second year of the contract..
In case you thought his defense at first base could save him, unfortunately, it can’t. His bat put him too deep in the hole. According to the Fangraphs version of WAR (fWAR) Davis was worth 0.
