Well with Miller you get both. IMO if he makes it through this year (given his projectable performance with absolute elite stuff) and next year when Felix is back, before his arm blows up, that’s enough. That might be 1/2 championships. IMO none of those 3 prospects mentioned (top ones not named Holliday) is worth 1/2 World Series. Because in truth I simply cannot see us winning a pennant let alone a WS with Craig Kimbrel closing games in the postseason. At this point in his career, he is no longer a lock down reliever. And you are going to need that at some point in the Fall. I’m not saying that we need a pen as good as the Yanks (likely our closest competitor in the AL) but we do need the talent at the backend to give ourselves a reasonable chance if we get into a bullpen battle in the playoffs. -
When the season began, there was a thread about your biggest concern for the O's in the upcoming season. The focus was pitching for most. My three concerns were Hays (too many K's and DP's in important situations, doesn't have productive outs), Cedric, seems to be in a downward spiral and McKenna (the luckiest millionaire with no particular above average skill set). If cut, which would be claimed? Hayes yes, McKenna, no chance. McKenna is just asleep at the wheel...he just doesn't react to the ball off the bat and his routes are very adventurous. Putting him in for Santander for D is laughable. His has two attributes for the team, some speed (not base stealing speed) and a good teammate. -

One of the best, immediate, reverse jinx threads ever. Mountcastle hits a game winning home run hours later. You can’t make that up. We all should’ve bet the HR prop. -

The craziest thing is I don't normally yell during games because I can just type out my frustrations here. But without it, my expletive laced shouting at McKenna for making such an off line throw, knowing Santander would have most likely made a better throw just annoyed me to know end. That's the second time McKenna as a defensive replacement has not worked.
