  1. Yep. Not saying he might not have a long career with the replacement ligament. I'd rather it be further along in his development.
  2. I'm all for education but when he signed the contract he made a commitment to play baseball and in a season where he didn't get to play a lot and with uncertainty looming over next season I would have liked him to have been at the instructs.
  3. What is the average life of a replacement ligament? Is it still six years? I'd rather he be closer to the majors before he needed it.
  4. Had he gone six full all season? Does anyone think he could go CGSO?
  5. I'm going with more games than in 2020 or 2022.
  6. Nice piece but we all know what my take-away was. I hadn't seen that information before.
  7. Yea it's more about the Rays but the O's play an important part.
  8. I disagree that he's so important that a team would have to overpay for him to be dealt. He's still pretty much the same guy the O's got on the cheap last year. Anyway, bad defense encourages the pitchers to strike batters out!
  9. I'm sure he's going to be working with ownership to help force a deal that is as advantageous as possible for them.
  10. Why would it have to be a really good deal? Not as if he's going to be the difference in the team making the playoffs next year. He isn't signed past next season.
  11. I think it will play out like this season with players wanting the maximum number of games and owners trying to reduce the total games played while lowering player salaries by a similar amount.
  12. Yea, I'd say his most likely future role isn't with the big league club.
  13. Franco hasn't graduated. It would be a surprise if AR jumped him in the rankings.
  14. I don't think it's that easy to find long term pieces on the cheap and I'm not sure Elias is at a point that he wants to start trading the O's more regarded prospects.
  15. Looks to me that the plan is to home grow as much as possible and use cheap stop gaps until the prospects are ready. Real long term moves involve either trading young assets or taking on substantial payroll.
  16. I don't think I'm being extreme about this. Yaz didn't show much of anything and it would have been poor use of a 40 man roster spot to call him up. If you call up a Yaz where do you draw the line in who "deserves" a shot?
  17. Should everyone that gets to AAA and doesn't show anything get a shot in the majors?
  18. Looks to me that all that happened is one more level of appeal is done. I'm not sure why the Orioles are spending money on this since it looks like the chances of them winning are pretty remote.
  19. Is the Angelos law firm handling this or did they hire an outside firm?
