Lefty's with his arm don't grow on trees. I think we could get at least 2 pieces for him that have value.

You may be right, I'm just going from my memory on what I thought of Lough.

I'd be happy with pretty much anything for Fry or Scott. It is nice to have a lefty in the pen that can bring high velocity and is a big strikeout guy, but with his control issues and the 3 batter minimum, it's really tough to watch Scott when he comes in and just doesn't have it that day. I wouldn't just give either away, but if we got a legit prospect back and/or international money, I would be happy.

I never understood what people saw in Lough. He always seemed like a really good athlete that just didn't have very good baseball instincts. Even on that play you posted, he takes a bad route/read at the beginning of it and makes up for it with his speed. Those 2014/2015 teams were one or 2 key players away from really competing for a World Series. 😕

Good question. I'll go with Mullins, Hays, Stowers, and Rizer.

Hopefully he's the 4th or 5th outfielder on the next Orioles playoff team. Love what he brings to the table.

What an amazing thing to do! Praying for you Weams.

Watched on milb.tv last night. That was fun! He seemed totally in control, even when there were guys on base. Something else that also stood out to me was how mobile and smooth Adley looked behind the plate! He flubbed a throw on a CS attempt, but his presence behind the dish was a night and day difference to what I'm used to watching at the MLB level.

Nice effort. The infield defense probably made him get an extra 2 or 3 outs.

This is an amazing step considering where we were internationally just a few years ago. Very exciting for the future!

Great stuff here. Love the stuff about working with Holt one on one. This next wave of pitchers really seems to have bought in to what the player development staff has been asking of them. Can't wait to see what the results are once the seasons start.

Seemed like a nice guy, but man, I was not a fan oh his broadcasting or "interviews". Excited to see who they replace him with.

No way it was 100% financially motivated. It probably helps that whoever they hire back will likely make less (and they may only fill 1 spot), but there are so many other ways in a corporation as big as the Orioles to cut costs other than cutting ties with coaches that you want to keep.

I would go with an B at 1B and D at 3B, so maybe a C?

A perfect world scenario for me is having Mullins coming in as a late inning CF defensive replacement, moving Hays to LF, then move Mountcastle to either 1B or 2B. I know he hasn't played any 2B in the majors, but he really can't be that much worse than Alberto or Valaika. Sure wouldn't hurt to give him some reps there next spring training.
