I guess my hesitation with Espada is that I don't think it's a great thing to be too insular.  If he's the best man for the job, so be it, but I'd like to see Elias consider a broad list of candidates from across the league, who share a similar vision to his and would be a good partner in implementing it on the field.  My guess is he'll do just that.

The Browns were apparently considering Condoleezza Rice to be Head Coach. Maybe the O's should think about Pat Sajak or Elaine Benes.

I feel like we should get a young manager from the minors who has had good success developing players and gets them playing the right way.  Someone we can get for under  a million a year.  Use the extra money we save over some named coach who won't help the team on International signing and scouts.  

I coach little league and have sent several young players to the travel team.  I'll also work for less than $1M.

Or Edward Norton and Josh Charles.  One could be the Manager, the other the bench coach.  What a team!

      Ok... Who SHOULD be in?

      I'll make this simple.  Here's a list of everyone in MLB history who's caught at least 1500 games.  There's only 33 of them.  Name the 20 who you think are better than Gary Carter.                                                                                                                                                                                               Rk            Player    G From   To   Age    PA   AB    R    H  2B 3B  HR  RBI  BB IBB   SO HBP  SH  SF GDP  SB CS   BA  OBP  SLG  OPS         Pos                                          Tm 1     Ivan Rodriguez 2543 1991 2011 19-39 10270 9592 1354 2844 572 51 311 1332 513  67 1474  58  31  76 337 127 64 .296 .334 .464 .798     *2H/D34                     TEX-FLA-DET-NYY-HOU-WSN 2       Carlton Fisk 2499 1969 1993 21-45  9853 8756 1276 2356 421 47 376 1330 849 105 1386 143  26  79 204 128 58 .269 .341 .457 .797    *2DH/735                                     BOS-CHW 3        Ted Simmons 2456 1968 1988 18-38  9685 8680 1074 2472 483 47 248 1389 855 188  694  39  11 100 287  21 33 .285 .348 .437 .785   *2DH3/759                                 STL-MIL-ATL 4        Gary Carter 2296 1974 1992 20-38  9019 7971 1025 2092 371 31 324 1225 848 106  997  68  33  99 180  39 42 .262 .335 .439 .773    *2H9/375                             MON-NYM-SFG-LAD 5          Bob Boone 2264 1972 1990 24-42  8148 7245  679 1838 303 26 105  826 663  90  608  20 142  78 191  38 50 .254 .315 .346 .661    *2/H35D7                                 PHI-CAL-KCR 6       Johnny Bench 2158 1967 1983 19-35  8674 7658 1091 2048 381 24 389 1376 891 135 1278  19  11  90 201  68 43 .267 .342 .476 .817   *253H/798                                         CIN 7         Yogi Berra 2120 1946 1965 21-40  8359 7555 1175 2150 321 49 358 1430 704  91  414  52   9  44 146  30 26 .285 .348 .482 .830    *2H79/35                                     NYY-NYM 8      Jason Kendall 2085 1996 2010 22-36  8702 7627 1030 2195 394 35  75  744 721  51  686 254  36  63 176 189 89 .288 .366 .378 .744     *2/H79D                         PIT-OAK-CHC-MIL-KCR 9    A.J.

      Ok... Who SHOULD be in?

      By Frobby · Posted

      Yeah the WAR components are available, but it’s not like you can easily calculate those yourself.   I mean, the BB-ref player page will show you Rbat, Rpos, Rfield, Rbaser etc., but I certainly couldn’t derive those numbers.

      Beckham returning?

      Frankly I don’t remember reading a single negative thing about his personality or any clubhouse issues during his stint with the Orioles.    I don’t see that as a risk at all.   We’re talking about bringing a guy in on a minor league deal to compete for a spot held by Stevie (.669 OPS, -0.8 rWAR) Wilkerson and for which Richard Urena also will compete.    It’s not like we’re expecting him to be a starting infielder, or paying him millions of dollars, or using a spot on our 40-man roster until such time, if any, as he makes the major league team.   It’s simply not a very big deal.

      Report: Red Sox used replay room to steal signs in 2018 season

      By DrungoHazewood · Posted

      I'm unconvinced.  He's taking one year's worth of data and not really doing any comparisons to anyone else.  He's inferring from the fact that the 2018 Red Sox hit well with runners on second that the entire sign stealing scheme was worth 50 runs.  That's a stretch.  Teams have varying performances in splits every single year.  From '11-14 the Orioles had a mid-700s OPS with runners on 2nd.  From '15-17 they were in the mid-800s.  Did they have a sign stealing scheme going starting in '15? What he should do is look at 10 years of data across all teams in the league and see if the 2018 Red Sox' variation in performance is a big outlier or unremarkable.

      There are plenty of athletes/high draft picks that never ban out. There's also a very fine line between confidence and arrogance. The Beckham quotes I've read paint him an arrogant ego maniac and "me first" type of player. Also, let's not forget his was also suspended for 50 games in 2012 for testing positive for marijuana. Why would we want to bring that kind of mojo into our clubhouse?

      If you swing at balls in the dirt and take pitches right down the middle , then this has to be one of the few cases where size does not in fact matter.
