Yasiel Puig makes the Orioles a slightly easier team to watch in 2020. Full stop.

If you think we're buying Puig with the hopes of flipping him for good prospects, I have ocean front property in Arizona to sell you.

Has anyone suggested he’d be a 5-6 WAR player? I’ll be pretty darned happy if he manages to be a 2-3 WAR guy.
I suppose the last couple prospect threads have graded him out to average regular (50 grade), which would be about a 2-3 WAR player. Looking at guys in AAA with strikeout/walk issues, or IL MVPs... they aren’t star studded lists of players and most haven’t stuck. He has youth on his side, still time to work on selectivity.

The more I think about Ubaldo the more he reminds me of Daniel Cabrera.

Don't really understand Taylor Davis being added. Do we really need 6 catchers on the 60-man player pool? Seems like Rutschman and Holiday and/or Wynns can cover the secondary camp along with bullpen catchers that can presumably be hired for little more than minimum wage.
TD is a player that is completely expendable and if the roster space is needed could be moved without a second thought. But I think he has more value than a bullpen catcher.

Although I still have trouble seeing a 1B/LF/DH with a 5:1 AAA strikeout to walk ratio being an impact player in the majors.
This has always been my biggest sticking point with Mountcastle. Everyone else disagrees with me every time I bring up my reservations about RM, so I concede that I am wrong. But I'm having trouble getting over this.
Prove me wrong, Ryan.

Pittsburgh is the only other team I can see that has taken the same tack as the O's and not had any prospects added to the roster.

Whats with the Orioles playing dumb with all this "we have ghost outfielders because we don't have enough players"?
Like... you filled your roster 3/4 of the way, why don't you fix this?

First player on the summer camp roster without MLB experience.

If you check the MLB transactions page, they are not distinguishing it from the 10-day IL.
I'm not claiming to be an expert though.

If Trout gets 30 million a year, Manny gets 20 million a year, mediocre players get 5 million a year, and the price always goes up, at what point will The people who pay for the product decide they’re not going to pay any more because the return isn’t worth the investment?
Didn't that already happen when the owners decided to leave a bunch of free agents on the market and the players complained about going to strike if they weren't signed?

Funny note that I'm sure has been mentioned before. Nick Markakis has the highest rWAR of the 2003 draft first round (34.2). In second place is none other than Adam Jones (32.5). After those two, it's a rather large drop to Aaron Hill (24.4).
You have to go all the way to the 17th round to find someone who tops either of them with Ian Kinsler (55.2 rWAR). Max Scherzer (60.1) was drafted in the 43rd round, but didn't sign.
If you look at active players, 2003 is the lone exception where more players from an earlier draft are still in the game than 2003.
Generally speaking 2003 was a horrific draft, probably the worst in the last 30 years in terms of player making the show and performing.

I feel like we always talk about signing value contracts to trade later for prospects and taking on bad contracts plus prospects, but I’m struggling to think of instances where the Orioles have done this in the last 20 years.
If anything, the trade that pissed everyone off— Jonathan Villar— was exactly this and everyone hated it. People always want to trade the underperforming players and hang onto the good ones; funny thing about that.

https://www.sugarlandskeeters.com/news/constellation-energy-league-announces-preliminary-player-pool
Sugarland Skeeters are starting their own one-stadium, four-team independent league. They've announced the player pool.
Former Oriole farm hands Jordan Kipper, Taylor Grover, and Tucker Nathans are representing.
"Lightning Sloths" is an exciting name. Interested to see the jerseys on those guys.

you'll need to understand that some customers can tell the difference between the ill-flavored Phillips garbage of mixed species - primarily Mud Crab (Portunas armatus), the flavorless Venezuelan crab meat (which can be of mixed species also) and fresh, steamed callinectes sapidus, especially from the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries...

beginning to doubt whether I could tell the difference

Great insight! We are naturally the worst team in the league. So the more baseball is dicked around with, the better our chances of ending up with a favorable outcome!
The 2018 and 2019 Orioles own spots in the bottom five worst run differentials over the last 20 years.
And this year wont have Bundy, Villar, or Mancini.
EDIT: for all 30 teams, as in... 600 seasons of baseball

Here are those tuna cakes; easy for a weeknight meal.

Also, someone may turn up their nose in disgust and ask me to turn in my Maryland card, but my wife makes “crab” cakes pretty regularly with chunk light tuna. For $1 a can vs $20 a pound, we can eat those every night of the week and they’re darn delicious.

For instance I like to put crab mustard in with the crab meat.
I had liver and onions for the first time this month, and my impression of it was that it’s like a steak that tastes slightly of crab tomalley. They are, after all, the same organ on both animals.

I don’t see any reason to take this season seriously so why try to place any better than last?

So safety has little or nothing to do with it.
If safety had anything to do with it, people would be inside wearing a mask and not playing baseball with each other.

I was already under the impression there was not going to be a minor league season. Am I the only one?

Seattle invited their first four 2020 picks to their 60-man. That's interesting.
