I'm guessing that they were in some sort of throwing and exercise program that a private firm ran for them. And for someone like Snell or Montgomery, who have been in the big leagues for a while, they should have a pretty good idea where they should be and what they should be doing at this point of Spring Training.

Who knows? Think they might accidentally give up on Nestor Cortes Again?

Geez... everybody just pause, and take a breath. Last season the O's had no Means for the vast majority of the year. Bradish went on the DL for a stint after that comebacker. GRod totally sucked at first, got demoted before coming back and shining. DL Hall missed a significant period of time. Wells was an all star, and then he wasn't. Irvin was pretty much a turd of an acquisition. And the O's won 101 games. Breathe... just breathe...

Offer a crazy 1 year contract with an option to Montgomery?

I suppose I am wondering if there is any starting pitcher in the 70s that you would have rather have had on your staff than Palmer?

OK ... I'll give you Walter Johnson. How about the modern era?

By the way... for all you statheads out there, is there any better 10-year period by a pitcher in ML history than Jim's 1969-1978? He went 192-101 with a 2.52 ERA (139 ERA+ and 56.3 WAR), and that includes a "stinker" year of 1974 where he only posted an ERA of 3.27 over 26 starts.

Thanks @Moose Milligan. How the phat was Jim Palmer only an All-Star only 6 times?

Santander would have been so much better if Elias had added a MOO this offseason. But he never acquired one.

Another loss yesterday to the Buckeyes. I can't see the Terps making the tournament barring some miracle in the Big10 Tournament. Next year looks bad too, with all of the graduations and another weak recruiting class (Queen ain't signing with the Terps IMO). Willard will likely be the coach next year, but if the team struggles again, and he doesn't add recruits, I'm guessing he's gone after next season.

I meant Hays too

Question... who would you rather offer a contract extension... Hays or Mullins? I'd have to say Hays. I think Bradfield will eventually step into that igniter role. EDIT: I typed Mullins first, I meant I would extend Hays

What exactly is the Gunnar treatment?

Is there really any motivation or urgency to extend an 751 OPS lifetime outfielder?

Of course he is. He can see the young guns coming up behind him.

LOVED Felix Pie. The best walk-off helmet collector in MLB history

I'd like to see someone get a uniform number π

Big thin limb? You're the one who started a thread suggesting that Hays is "really anything more than a slightly more reliable OF version of Jorge Mateo".

Maybe we can just ask @Tony-OH to change the huge thread title from "Cease" to "Clase"?

I'll take that from a long man in the pen. Wouldn't you?

I'm not sure why this is even thread worthy.

I think Irvin is going to have a solid year for us in the pen. Nothing to back that up. Just an intuition

Perhaps! But some would say the playoff tickets were already printed.

We always say the following phrase when a meaningless player is signed for minor league filler. But I'll add it now. Print the Playoff Tickets

I remember being incredulous as a 13 year old when the O's won 100 games... and didn't make the playoffs.
