    I would rather add one very good to great reliever than multiple mediocre relievers.  As we learned last year, adding mediocre relievers is often no improvement at all and can make the team worse.  I would want at least 3 years of control.  I know a lot of posters will say this is a serious overpay, but Kjerstad is quite limited defensively and it seems he will never be an adequate LF at Camden Yards.  He also seems unable at present to play a MLB 1B.  Feel free to add insight on whether this will change.  So we are basically looking at a RF/DH.  He's an O'Hearn replacement who can't handle 1B.  Ouch.  I think the bat would be great, but where do you play him if Mayo ends up at 1B and Adley needs DH at bats?

    Who replaces Santander next year? 

  2. The Orioles have walked the fewest batters so far in 2024.  In a world of HRs and 3 outcomes, eliminating the Base on Balls is a viable strategy that we are seeing play out.  It started in 2022 (443 BB 2.8 BB9 and continued in 2023 (473BB 2.9 BB9)  both years finishing 7th in MLB.  We now sit at #1 on the season.  If you are going to pitch for this team, you better not give out free passes.
