#2 — Chris Davis

There is no player on the Orioles who can carry the team quite like Chris Davis when he is hitting well. It still does not look quite like 2013, but Davis has put together some better statistics than most folks realize. Besides leading the league in strikeouts, he is also fourth in RBIs (70) and sixth in home runs (25).

Many of these positive statistics have accumulated in the second half of July. Though his seasonal average is still below .250, he hit .272 in July. This includes seven home runs and 21 RBIs.

Since the All-Star break, Davis has hit .315 with six homers and 18 RBIs.

Davis has also hit better as a right fielder than he has as a first baseman or designated hitter. Does this really matter? Are there enough stats to make a definitive correlation? Probably not, but that doesn’t mean there is not really something to it. And it looks like Showalter is going to keep running him out to right field.
