It's time for the Orioles to move Chris Davis back to first base

On June 26th, with the Orioles' entire slate of corner outfielders scuffling and with recent callup Chris Parmelee hitting a little bit, Buck Showalter did a funny thing -- he plugged Chris Davis into right field. It wasn't a bad idea at the time, but a strange thing happened. It stuck. Chris Davis has only had one start at first base in the month since.

Let's start with this: Chris Davis isn't a terrible right fielder. He's not a great one, either, with his range being a limiting factor, but he seems to take OK routes and have a good enough arm for the position.
