    • I feel like the O's bats are completely different when the temps are above 65-70 degrees. What's the 3 day forecast?
    • Gunnar.  Burnes would be great but there is inherent risk there and the dollars would be enormous. Adley is almost certain to start declining after age 30 if not earlier. Holliday may have the biggest incentive right now due to his slow start and lack of guaranteed dollars. Bradish, Grayson, and Cowser are also interesting possibilities.
    • Gunnar. Highest reward to risk investment. Scott Boras notwithstanding.
    • I believe that it is not a specific pitch or pitch-shape that is the culprit. I think it is the desire to throw harder and to spin the ball more. Check out this discussion:  
    • The Orioles have so much cost controlled hitting that they’d likely need to trade a lot of them to ever really need to sign a free agent hitter in the next few years.  Which means they should have a lot of payroll flexibility and just need to use that in some fashion to add pitching. Whether that’s by signing pitchers or trading the extra hitters or a combination of both, I think that really just depends on who is available and what prospects are blocked. This past offseason it was clear they needed to trade Ortiz so a trade was the obvious route over FA (even though I wish they did both…). Now they don’t have another prospect of that caliber that is blocked to the same degree so it’s not apparent. With a new owner as well, it impossible to predict how Elias will approach it this offseason, and I think any route is appropriate so long as they continue to increase payroll and actually leverage the advantage of having a tremendous cost-controlled offensive core.
