So unbelievably bad right now. As in, borderline record-setting bad at the plate.

There was an article late last year where he basically admitted he was a head case and couldn't figure out what to do. I guess he still hasn't.
The Orioles just need to write him off as a sunk cost at this point and play somebody else. They are going to have to pay him regardless so they might as well put somebody on the field who can get a hit every once in a while.

He is 0-for-23 with 13 strikeouts this season and is hitless in 44 at-bats since a second-inning double off James Shields of the Chicago White Sox last Sept. 14.
Davis is two shy of the record for consecutive hitless at-bats by a position player, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
