Way hey and up he rizes

Is 1/10 too much for Cashner if he was a free agent?

Pretty different minor league careers. Schoop was in Baltimore at age 21/22 because of his defense (and the playoff push). Mountcastle gets to mash juiced up baseballs in Norfolk. Of course in 2015, I also claimed that Mancini would never hit in the big leagues so what do I know?

Schoop is a pretty good comparison for him, offensively. Schoops low OBP high SLG profile makes him around a league average hitter overall. Most of his value comes from his defense, if you look at his page.

Not ironic. Davis was a Top 50 prospect and a .317/.374/.594 hitter in the minors who hadn't hit well in the majors (94 OPS+) Reed was a Top 50 prospect at one point too I read, and a .280/.377/.538 hitter in the majors who has hit nothing in 150 PAs with Houston. Guy has an option too, if I'm reading this right.

Would be a good pickup - shades of Texas giving up on Chris Davis.

Who should they have signed? James Shields and Bartolo Colon are still out there if we wanted. Gio Gonzalez was signed on a minor league deal somehow. Randall Delgado (MiL deal with NYY) is pitching well in AAA. Brett Anderson signed for only $1.5M and he's pitching well.

I went from frustrated with Dan Straily, to laughing, to feeling genuinely bad for him. They have to stop throwing him out there.

Y'all forgot about Chris Tillman. Threw two complete game shutouts in Norfolk in 2010. A no-hitter and a one hitter. That curveball was so good sometimes. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=tillma001chr&type=pgl&year=2010 Very exciting to see Zimmerman putting up a start like this!

Guess not. Semantics aside, I'm in favor of moving him up (if that is the case). I want Diaz and Hays jogging down the Orange Carpet in spring.

Very interesting. Promotion or Injury. It's worth noting that his career line at AA is .286/.379/.452 in 665 PAs. Why not push him?

D.J Stewart should not be in AAA still. He's a low ceiling guy (which we knew when he was drafted), but he's major league ready.

I like him! Even after he regresses, he's still an above average hitter I think. Not a good defender so he's basically a 2nd division starter, but he's still a Major Leaguer that we got for nothing.

Rutschman is a Top 25 prospect in baseball right now, who just happens to not be a professional yet. I'd be very disappointed if they don't take him.

Treinen was never an Oriole, was he? Are you thinking of Josh Hader?
