And what question did you ask me? (forgive the old guy with the swiss cheese memory)

But... they certainly didn't give me any confidence that there is still more to be proven.

By naming those players, you're counting on guys who haven't proven a damn thing. The O's are a 101 win team that actually needs to improve in order to take the next step. In subtracting one player (Santander) you would be losing 28 HR and 95 RBI. I have no clue whether Kjerstad or Cowser can rise to the occasion.

Did you believe in Cowser last season? Or Ortiz?

Fair enough. But it's certainly not a crazy question to wonder who might be a proven run producer (not necessarily a RF) who can provide Santander's run production?

Yes... but I only suggested I'd prefer replacing Santander's production with something proven. Why go ballistic on me for my opinion?

And... neither of them have proven anything at the major league level. I don't have to be kidding. YOU don't have to be kidding.

I'd make the trade, but I would want a FA signing to replace Tony Tater's stats. Who would be available?

The choices should have been Yes and Yes

Another observation from those highlights. Mayo punishes low velocity, especially breaking balls and changeups. But the highest velocity fastball I saw was 94 mph. Is there any evidence that he also has success against higher velocity?

The one at 0:30 seconds... So far past the bleachers. The spectators struggling to climb the hill to retrieve the ball. Classic.

It's revealing that the Terps are 4 games in and nobody has started a thread for the 2023-24 season. This team is already 1-3 and appears to be headed for a really rough road. They've now lost 3 in a row after laying a big turd against Villanova. Very disappointing.

I have a feeling Mayo is a candidate to hit the longest HR ever at Camden Yards.

Just hit the ball hard. Good things will happen

I think Norby will have a great Spring and maybe even get a call up... for a different organization.

Gunnar is going to hesh up, put his head down and run out to whichever Hyde writes him into the lineup.

He's just upset he didn't think of starting this thread.

We all have lives. I have a FT job, also studying for the Series 66 exam (after passing the SIE and the Series 7), while also playing in 3 bands. All while being 5 months into a new marriage. There is only so much time to spend.

Not all of us spend all day tuned into this board. Cut us some slack

All I got from CBS sports... " The benefit to the Orioles also comes from a provision that is new to the CBA. Henderson's ROY win means that the team will qualify for a Prospect Promotion incentive draft pick in next year's draft." No clue where that pick slots.

Well... if he follows suit that would be the outcome!

Now... how about matching Cal and winning MVP next year.

Gunnar was a second rounder...

If the O's are going to continue to pinch pennies, that draft pick is really valuable, yes?

"We were active bidders on multiple FAs. But apparently they weren't interested in fewer years and less dollars."
