From MLBTradeRumors: James Shields, Joaquin Benoit, Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Marlon Byrd, Kyle Lohse, Matt Garza, Mike Napoli, Alex Avila, Rajai Davis and many others could find their names floating around on the rumor mill this month.

In 2014 DD picked up De Aza in an August Trade. Can we identify some potential fits for the Orioles that we may be able to get?

For me, another legitimate major league outfielder would be nice. Preferably one that can work a count and have a decent OBP.

Gonna be tough to get one of those through waivers.

Those are the most over priced folks that exist right now. And Data shows them to be less effective than in the past.

Potential August trades: Chris Davis, O'day, ...

No way they make it through. Now, Matusz, Hardy, Wieters... They might. And Anyone not on our 40 man roster.

That's what you got to work with. Period.

So dream, but don't dream too big.

I figured :( Any buy lows or other potential fits? No one really seemed to expect the De Aza pick up last year.

Sure. Anyone who has had a bad year, and has a big contract. Like a Chase Utley. Or someone real good, with a long big contract. That doesn't really play a position. And works for a GM that is getting fired. They might be available.

I actually think if Boston ate some money Napoli could be a fit. .874 OPS vs lefties. As terrible of a season he is having he could be a DH fit vs lefties.

I was thinking about Napoli recently as well. He has been swinging the bat better lately. One more bat would really solidify our lineup.

That isn't really our style though. Would mostly have to be someone with an expiring contract or is under control at a reasonable rate. A De Aza type...

Or who knows, maybe Alvarez, Walker, Clevenger, or Lake could come up in September and provide a spark.

Pearce will take someone's spot. He could play 1st vs lefties. So I guess the question is with Parra here would they rather have Reimold or Napoli in the lineup?

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      By Flash- bd · Posted

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
