SAN DIEGO - Buck Showalter is counting on Chris Davis to bounce back next year.The Baltimore Orioles manager will have to wait until the second game of the season, April 7 at Tampa Bay, to pencil his slugger into the lineup. Davis has one game left to serve in a 25-game suspension imposed in September following a positive test for Adderall, a banned amphetamine.He is doing well. I think hes in a good mindset, Showalter said Tuesday at the winter meetings. I cant really see anything that would point to something being negative towards Chris having a big year and getting back on the saddle, so to speak, of where he was. Im expecting him to be solid for us.After losing Nelson Cruz and Nick Markakis to free agency, the Orioles need Davis to return to his All-Star form of 2013, when he hit .286 with 53 homers and 138 RBIs. Davis hit .196 this year with 26 homers and 72 RBIs before his suspension Sept. 12, and he averaged a strikeout per 3.03 plate appearances — the worst in the major leagues among qualifying batters.Davis suspension included the final 17 games of the regular season, a three-game sweep of Detroit in the AL Division Series and a four-game loss to Kansas City in the AL Championship Series.Davis is eligible for arbitration after making $10.5 million last season, including performance bonuses. He can become a free agent after next years World Series. David Freese Jersey . - Aaron Rodgers makes tough throws that can leave fans of the Green Bay Packers speechless.

He hopes his message got through and possibly serves as a turning point in the season. The Nuggets are trying to snap out of an eight-game slump, their longest in nearly a decade. "Didnt anticipate for (the meeting) to last as long as it did, but however long it needs to take to flush everything out and figure out whats going on with our team, we decided to take that time today," Shaw said. "Its been a long morning after a long night of watching the game over and just playing everything back in your mind and trying to find a solution for where we are." One of the biggest moves of the day was Denver suspending veteran point guard Andre Miller for two games for "conduct detrimental to the team." Miller was upset after not playing in a 114-102 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night. It was the first "Did not play -- coachs decision" of Millers 15-year career. Asked how his meeting with Miller went, Shaw said he hasnt talked to him yet. Shaw didnt elaborate on why Miller was suspended but there were reports that Miller voiced his displeasure with Shaw over his lack of playing time. "It just came to a boiling point. We made a decision and were moving forward," Shaw said. Millers suspension begins Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies. He also will not travel for a game Sunday in Los Angeles against the Lakers. "We will have a conversation before he comes back with the team," Shaw said. "Thatll happen when it happens." In the meantime, Shaw met for several houurs with the rest of his squad as the Nuggets try to get back on track.dddddddddddd "Everybody got their feelings out. Everybody said what needed to be said," point guard Ty Lawson said. "Hopefully everybody can take that to heart and change so we can start getting wins. Its always healthy to get things out and get everything in the open. Hopefully, this will be a turning point for the rest of the season." Shaw is hoping for the same thing. "Ive been on championship teams that while you were winning you had these kinds of meetings to air everything out," Shaw explained. "It happens and its a part of what goes on in our business and a family. These things happen. "There was a lot of things people wanted to get off their chest." Miller was a favourite of former coach George Karl, who was ousted after winning a franchise-best 57 games last season only to be bounced from the first round of the playoffs for a fourth straight time. The transition from Karls up-tempo style to the system Shaw wants to run hasnt been all that smooth. This season could be filled with growing pains, which has been hard for the fans to digest. The Nuggets drew some boos after losing their fifth straight game at Pepsi Center on Wednesday. They were a franchise-best 38-3 at home last season. Shaw said the takeaway from the meeting was the importance of "hard work and effort." "If we bring that every night and we ended up losing every game, we can still live with ourselves because we know we gave it everything we had," Shaw said. "To this point, at different stages in the games, we havent been doing that, so thats why we are where we are." ' ' '
