Especially when you factor in the DL Hall trade too. Suarez and Wells get bumped to the pen only if Bradish and Means are effective starters a decent part of the season. Would the O's promote Povich or McDermott to pitch relief? My guess is not anytime soon, but I dunno. A trade would for one or two arms would be best, but trading for good relief pitching is only harder now because so many teams can make the playoffs. -

But O'Hearn's numbers are inflated because he never bats against lefties, plus he's trash in the outfield. If Santander's hitting does not improve this season of course you don't give him a QO, but that's unlikely. He'll probably pick it up as the weather heats up. Plus Tony plays at least a decent RF and can play first base too. Like others have said, should the O's offer Santander a QO? Maybe -- it depends on how he performs and how Kjerstad and Stowers perform. -
Wait, since when is money no object? It remains to be seen what the budget constraints are going to be with the new ownership, but if Santander is projected to put up 3.0 WAR for $20 million and his replacement (Kjerstad/Cowser/Stowers...) can put up 2.5 WAR for less than a million then that will be factored in. The goal will never be about being better than the other 29 teams in a payroll vacuum. -
I think you have a good understanding and I assume you’ve read Ted Williams Science of Hitting. It’s all about lining up planes of pitch and bat. Historically with sinkers and low strikes a higher attack angle played and was more in alignment with pitch plane. In today’s game of spin and high zone fastball an uppercut swing gives you minimal chance and results in top spin grounders and swing & miss. -

I'll bow to your expertise even if it seems unlikely to my laymen understanding.
