Davis’ return gives Orioles dominant lineup
By: Corey Johns
It’s actually funny how quick fans can flip for or against a player. After it was reported that Chris Davis rejected the Orioles initial $158 million offer in hopes of finding a significantly larger contract from another team, many wanted the Orioles to just scream at the top of their lungs that they were done with him and quickly move on to another free agent. But now that he is back after lengthy negotiations on a seven-year, $161 million contract, he is welcomed back with open arms.
Plenty of questions facing the Ravens this offseason

At the time, it seemed like Schaub was a perfect backup. But in reality, the perfect backup is a guy who never has to see the field and when Flacco suffered the first major injury of his career and Schaub was forced to start the Ravens’ last two games he was no longer the perfect backup, he was a terrible starter.
