Fantasy Analysis
Davis' decline began on May 6 when he went 0 for 8 with five strikeouts against the Red Sox. It appears his confidence has been shaken and he can't emerge from his latest slide. Davis is looking a lot like the hitter that was run out of Texas. He was striking out in April, but his strikeout rate has spiked during his recent slide. In fact, he has at least one strikeout in eight straight games. Davis remains a low-end Fantasy start while he struggles. (Updated 05/16/2012).

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.
