Looks like this article from the Sun hasn't been linked yet, even if some excerpts were taken from it: https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/bs-sp-orioles-chris-davis-hope-20191105-w3tmagusc5esbh76mitfdyrmgy-story.html Some interesting tidbits in there. -The Orioles asked him about attending a private hitting school, Davis doesn't want to do that. -The Davises just made this enormous donation to UMMC. -He has hope now for the team. And although he didn't perform well last year, he enjoyed coming to the ballpark and hanging out with the guys. See, silver linings are everywhere.

Curious to hear speculation on the top targets on the market. Cole, Rendon, Strasburg, MadBum, Wheeler, etc. Please tell me they will stay away from NY. k thx bye

He is a Right-Handed hitter and has the same platoon splits as most RH hitters. .643 VS LHP, .513 VS RHP in 2019.

Career .256 OBP in the major leagues over 231 career games. Kinda concerning. Richie Martin 2.0? Martin had a .581 OPS this year. Valaika has a .656 for his major league career but that seems somewhat buoyed by a solid 2017 campaign that he was not at all able to replicate in '18 or '19.

hi have you met wildcard? The board needs him probably to help level out the rest of us.

Looks like manager challenges have been a thing since 2014? So yea there should be enough data here so people can at least pretend to find trends.

Buck to the Mets would be pretty highly entertaining. But idk that I could wish that on a guy that I still like.

If the Nats win that should boost attendance, fan interest..........and dare I say...................MASN ratings? That seems like something Orioles fans should root for. mwahahahahahahaha

Couple of conclusions I draw from that map: 1. Poor White Sox............Poor Mets 2. When do we break up the Blue Jays?

Pretty sure the series starts at closer to 8:00. But yeah the trick is using the right data. You can mold it however you want depending on what your agenda is. Ratings are down for this year, sure, because Yankees/Sox/Dodgers aren't in it. But I understand it still won the timeslot for FOX, so that's still significant out of whatever subset of people actually watch TV. Wonder if those numbers include people like me who have streaming TV thru Hulu/Sling/YouTube / whatever. I think Drungo is saying the answer to baseball's ratings woes is to create an authoritarian state that bans alternative means of media distribution. And ban all but 20-30 TV channels. Too much freedom is dangerous................. If I am misinterpreting though sir please feel free to correct me.

Elias, take a look at what you've done. baby, now we got bad Blood!

So is Dan Duquette smiling or not? hmmmmmm

A form of trolling is bringing up the same topic 300-400 times, especially when there is no clear cut answer. Like interloper I have no desire to debate this any further, my only reason for posting the list was in response to the preposterous implication made by the previous poster.

How much would they have to spend to convince you that Mike is really trying? Hope this isn't considered trolling. Pretty sure if you bringing this up again isn't then my reply is ok.

I have a gift for you! Here is a list of international talent signed by Mike Elias in 2019: (list is from baseballamerica) Baltimore Orioles Luis Ortiz, lhp, Dominican Republic (video) - $400,000 Anderson Rogers, ss, Dominican Republic (video) Luis Gonzalez, of, Dominican Republic (video) - $475,000 Leonel Sanchez, ss, Dominican Republic (video) - $400,000 Dax Stubbs, of, Bahamas Moises Chace, rhp, Venezuela Robert Martinez, ss, Dominican Republic Moises Salas, lhp, Venezuela Cesar Aguasvivas, ss, Domnican Republic Raul Rangel, rhp, Venezuela Luis De La Cruz, of, Dominican Republic Charbel Abboud rhp, Venezuela Harol Arias, rhp, Venezuela Erick Caines, rhp, Dominican Republic Ricardo Rivera, c, Colombia Jesus Alvarado, of, Venezuela Francisco Crispin, rhp, Dominican Republic Cesar Alvarez, rhp, Venezuela Kenny Baez, c, Dominican Republic Rolphy Cruz, ss, Dominican Republic Jose Ramirez, lhp, Venezuela Edgar Portes, rhp, Dominican Republic Johan Berroa, lhp, Dominican Republic Randy Beriguete, rhp, Dominican Republic Adrion Lacle, lhp, Aruba Erinson Placencia, rhp, Dominican Republic Alejandro Mendez, rhp, Dominican Republic

I'm a sucker for the underdog so I think I'm rooting for the Nats.........although I'll be happy for either team.

Yes he bet on games his team was involved in.

Yea it's literally the exact opposite for me. I'm like 15-20 minutes from Aberdeen. Free parking, no tolls.........

Making Aberdeen the AA affiliate would make me so happy.......... when do we vote?

Pete Rose bet on games WHILE he was playing/managing right? Is MLB really saying it's ok for players to do that now? I can't believe that.

Only 4 years and $124M to go in guarantees! Not bad for exactly 0.0 WAR. heh

How quick we have forgotten Mason McCoy. Unfortunately for good reason.

I don't believe it's legal for him to 'work out with the MLB team' if he is on the Norfolk roster. But someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

How can I put this in a quick and concise and direct way............? Hmmmm. The answer is no. Hopefully that's clear.

The Nationals have only existed for like 15 seasons. So no that's not what I was saying.
