Tracking Ex Oriole Thread

This HR is about all he's done in the last 30 games. An anemic .622 OPS and .585 in the last 15 games. They've now dropped him in the order.

He's the only offense threat they have. Not his fault they suck. I think we can get him back as a salary dump, but who would go over? :scratchchinhmm:

Freddie Freeman is the only offensive threat they have. Markakis isn't an offensive threat. Unless you're talking about Braves fans being offended by his contract.

David Lough is hitting .224 for the Phillies (no homers, 1 SB, 2 CS -- some things never change)

Travis Snider is hitting .291, no homers, in the Royals AAA system.

Alejandro De Aza hitting .200 in 45 PAs for the Mets, who were so desperate to find a backup for the injured Lucas Duda that de Aza took groundballs at first base last week.

Bud Norris, 6.69 ERA for the Braves, removed from the rotation almost a month ago but has pitched much better out of the bullpen (1.32 ERA in his 7 bullpen appearances). As a starter he had given up 22 runs in 22+ innings. Yeesh.

Jim Johnson, on the 15-day DL for the Braves, sitting on an 0-4 record and a 7.90 ERA.

Delmon Young, incredibly still unsigned despite his off-season efforts. However, in February just after his arrest, one of his girlfriends hacked his Facebook account and said he was addicted to alcohol and prostitutes. So he's got that going for him.

Saw that Philadelphia and KC may be interested in him.

Nick had a really miserable month of May -- .190/.294/.250.

Even the Markakis die-hards have to be happy we didn't sign Nick to that 4-year contract. He's slashing (.242/.344/.332/.675) for $11 million.

Fifty point drop in BABIP.

He's been between .288 and .310 every year from 2011-on. .338 was probably an anomaly. It's a big leap to trust BA-driven value spikes.

I'll wait until the end of the year before thinking about it too hard. He was excellent in April, horrible in May. We'll see what June-September brings, just like with Adam Jones (.658 OPS presently).

It's unfortunately the nature of relievers. One year you're closing 50 games and the next you're just another guy. Remember before K-Rod broke the single seasons record, ti was held by Bobby Thigpen. It's too bad though. I liked JJ. I was at his debut when he started and at the Yankees ALDS game where first showed signs of struggles.

Don't speak of that.

Zach is quietly pitching pretty well for the Brewers. Dan has made some good moves but I still hate the Para trade.

Yes it was a bad deal. Traded for Parra who was clearly having a career year and playing over his head. Add him to the list of former prospects that continue to haunt us.
