Sure. But why extend him instead of just waiting? Why use an off-season 40 man roster space on McCann? How is that a good idea?

Why would you extend him? What team is going to swoop in and sign him away? If you decide you don't feel like doing better bring him back in February.

You think the O's replacement level backup catcher is a key ingredient to the 100 win pace? I think the team can find someone else that can match the -4 Fielding Run Value for less.

Oh I know you can do worse. I'm not in favor of giving Maldonado 3-4M for next season.

That sucks. Never like to see guys get hurt.

None. That's why I asked him for hypothetical names.

Pretty sure they can pick up a replacement level catcher for less. Any backup that plays as much as he does should have an OPS+ of at least 55.

What Buster Posey deadweight? That one season where his OPS+ was under 100?

I'm curious what type of player would qualify if anyone were an option.

For when the Red Sox play the O's?

That's good. Will give him something to do while he heals.

Huh? He's on pace to start under 100 games at Catcher.

You see very quick to write Basallo off of Catcher and Mayo off of third.

Is it his bowling hand? Word is it won't require surgery so he should be back before the playoffs.

I think he's pretty close to bulletproof going into 2025. The only heat he could possibly get would be from ownership.

Increased payroll, declining win total and continued playoff failure? Catastrophic. No I'm not being serious.

You could put me on /ignore. Or do you need to be a plus member for that? I forget.

Hopefully it's the brace procedure.

Question. Can you do math? My date of birth is in my profile. I take this board obsessively seriously? Here I thought I posted a bunch of music and a large percentage of my posts are jokes.

I quoted a post where you also used the word hate. I dislike what I consider poor posts. I've grown spoiled and expect a certain level of competence from the posters here.

The lack of power in the lineup today was telling.

You didn't use the word hate? You know, if you were a plus member you could edit out things like you using the word hate. Or are you trying to say that having hate for Cowser is somehow not the same as hating Cowser?

So much hyperbole. No one HATES Cowser. Why would they? You can be critical without it devolving into hate.

Saves are stupid.

He can get one of his guys a cheap save.
