  1. Yes, great defense. Sadly, no stick at all... I mean he's just an automatic out. And he hasn't shown any improvement at all to even suggest he might hit one day... Then again, you could say the same about Chris Davis...
  2. On the one hand, we are in full rebuild mode- so no one should be considered untouchable. On the other hand, he's only 26, coming off an All-Star, ROY level campaign, is under team control for a while, and has been our best home-grown Starting pitcher... so I'd be most reluctant to part with him. But what if someone made us a "WOW" offer?
  3. In theory, all the teams could have paid Dominguez $5.1 million. But these kids all want to play for Boston, LA, or NY. The big media markets and teams that always win. They don't want to play for anyone else. If the Orioles offered $5.2 million and the Yankees offered their $5.1, would he have signed with the O's? Hell no.... Plus, the Yankees probably were "gifting" this poor kid's family for years to buy his affections. The whole system is just wrong on many levels and favors the big market teams....
  4. I think PCL stats are grossly misleading... ball just travels differently. There have been tons of guys who mashed PCL and never amounted to anything in the majors...
  5. The Yankees have signed a 16 yr old who has exit velocities exceeding 110 MPH and a 6.1 sixty time, widely expected to be a Mike Trout/Bryce Harper HOF level elite talent, and the obvious top international free agent, Jasson Dominguez to $5.4 million deal. This is a shining example of how MLB doesn't give a cr@p about parity, equity, or competitive balance. These international guys should be either a part of the June Amateur draft, available to all teams, or if international labor laws preclude this, then MLB needs to create an international draft for these guys, so that teams with the worst records can obtain the best players, as opposed to Championship teams simply adding more Hall of Fame talent to their rosters... What a total sham....
  6. Who would get your vote? 1. Adley Rutschman 2. Bobby Witt Jr. 3. Hunter Bishop 4. Andrew Vaughn 5. other?? And while I'm at it, With the 1st overall pick in the 2020 draft the Orioles select.....? With the 1st overall pick in the 2021 draft the Orioles select....?
  7. Why put him in against a Lefty? That just doesn't make any sense. Why not re-introduce him against a righty at least?
