I'm thinking big and I'm thinking championship. I honestly would go for broke this year. The hell with 3 years from now. I'm not interested in getting a middle of the road pitcher. Let's go out and get a stud and become the favorites to represent the AL in the World Series.

I think I would give up possibly the top 3 prospects we have to get Sale, if that what it takes.

For Sale, I would give up all 3 top prospect in the MIL.

Toss in free crab cakes from Phillips for as long as he is an Oriole.

Are the Chisox interested in trading him? I don't see the O's going after Sale.

Sale has three more years of control. He helps us this year but also prolongs the window. I do believe I would give up Bundy and their pick of 3-4 guys in the system other than Harvey. Something along the lines of Bundy/Cisco/Scott/Hess. They could also have Chaz Roe and/or Ubaldo plus cash.

Sale would bridge the gap for us until the arrival of Harvey and Sedlock.

Sale-Tillman-Gausman-Gallardo could be an excellent top 4 for the forseeable future. 3+ years of Sale for 5 years of Bundy and some other guys seems like an eminently fair deal. Only question is whether it would be enough.

I am probably a homer, but I see Bundy as having a higher ceiling than Sale.

Higher ceiling than top-5 Cy Young candidate? The only step above that '96-'99 Pedro Martinez.

Bundy could end up doing very well...but he could also blow out his elbow or shoulder and end up as the next Matt Hobgood. Even if he has a higher ceiling, he has a much, much lower floor.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By 24fps · Posted

      There is no question in my mind that the coaching staff and analytics staff is doing everything in their power to make sure that Holliday is as well prepared as possible before every game.  And he's been in few enough games at this point to where I wonder if there's enough data yet to start drawing up an effective strategy anyway.  Now that the decision has been made to bring him up, Holliday is owed a long enough window to show he can't make the adjustment even with the benefit of the best support.  If that means he has to be sent down, I'm not going to stress about it.  I'm also not going to hold my breath that he'll turn the corner even so.  Adley made it, Gunnar made it, so did Westburg and Cowser and Mountcastle and Grayson...  If Holliday doesn't make it I'll be surprised and disappointed, but the Orioles under Elias are still way ahead of the game and Norby is looking for an opportunity and time marches on.

      If a good defensive SS hits 54 HR and is only worth 8.1 WAR I’m gonna have some serious questions on their methodology.

      It’s not the same …. Henderson was batting just under .200. Holliday is batting .040. So about 20 % as good as Henderson was at his worst. And he’s striking out in more than 1 out of 2 trips to the plate.   There is no sense panicking either way. But, there is nothing wrong with sending him down. I think too many of you guys are acting like not sticking with him is some kind of sin. As a fan, I’m worried about damaging his confidence too much.    Plus after all the bullshit from his father, hopefully now he will keep his mouth shut.

      Pedantic is an adjective. Your definition has it as a noun.

      There's a difference between being patient at the plate as opposed to comatose.
