Orioles legend and Baseball Hall of Famer Jim Palmer used the Orioles' visit to Chicago's Guaranteed Rate Field last May to create a firestorm over the struggles of first baseman Chris Davis and what Palmer perceived as a lack of effort toward reversing the struggles that made Davis' season one of the worst in baseball history.
It looked as if it was going to be more of the same this year as Davis endured the longest stretch without a hit in baseball history, but his reversal since collecting that first hit two weeks ago in Boston has built some optimism that maybe Davis has found something.
