Davis moving back to first base: MLB.com reports that Orioles manager Buck Showalter wants to use Chris Davis as his starting first baseman to start the 2012 season. Davis spent some time at first base last year, but he finished the season as the Orioles' regular third baseman. Showalter wants to use Mark Reynolds at third, moving him over from first base.

Fantasy Analysis
The move back to first base won't impact Davis in most Fantasy leagues this season, as he is eligible at both infield corners in standard formats. However, this move will put a damper on Davis' value longer-term, as it threatens his eligibility at third base. First, though, Davis has to prove that he can rediscover his power stroke and hit well enough to hold down a starting role. Given his difficulties in making the transition from the minors to the majors, owners should target Davis mostly in AL-only leagues. (Updated 01/12/2012).

Chris Davis is moving back across the diamond. After finishing the 2011 season as Baltimore’s regular third baseman, Davis will shift back to first base for the 2012 campaign to allow Mark Reynolds to patrol the hot corner. Davis, who will turn 26 years old by Opening Day, experienced a surge in production following a mid-season trade from the Texas Rangers. He generated a .276 batting average in 123 at-bats with the Orioles while recording 11 extra-base hits and 13 RBI. His offensive totals were respectable despite being hampered by shoulder soreness that sidelined him for nearly a month during the middle of August and into September. Davis owns plenty of power potential (38 combined homers in his first two major league seasons), but never seemed to contribute on a consistent basis with the Rangers, which sparked his trade to Baltimore. He still might be bothered by the shoulder issue after electing not to have surgery in the offseason and should be targeted in the later rounds of AL-only Fantasy formats for the 2012 season.
