  1. To me the Marlins trading for more slot money was the turning point. I don't see them doing it unless they have a deal in place with at least VVM. I'm not sold that his brother is a package deal. The O's or another team could very well end up with junior.
  2. Brewers. If the Braves win O'Day still gets a ring right?
  3. 18-22 seems low judging by the sound of the ball off of his bat.
  4. Assuming Davis is on your team (and you are forced to play him) why Mancini at first? Davis isn't the first baseman he was but I still think he's got the edge on Mancini.
  5. I still don't get the "hot" thing. You look at the process and how the player has done overall, not if he's swinging a hot bat. Stewart wasn't "hot", last year Hays was "hot" when he was called up. I'm not at all sure it makes a difference.
  6. Irrelevant as the team did the smart thing and extended him early. You could say that those struggles would have happened regardless. I've not seen any studies that show position players adapt more quickly to the major leagues if they have spent just long enough to get another year of control in AAA.
  7. I think he's earned a shot to earn a spot in spring training. I'll hit you with a cheap shot, should Markakis have stated 2006 in AAA?
  8. The O's don't play that game no matter how much you folks want them to. Everyone can get excited when they do it for mr. 1-1 in a couple years.
  9. I think he has made enough progress that you give him a shot.
  10. I had no idea he was back on the team after they outrighted him in August.
  11. He broke the record for most strikeouts for a left handed reliever (135).
  12. I agree, his career isn't at the nadir that is required to come back to the O's. He'd be a good candidate in 2021.
  13. My point was, don't sign anyone as a stopgap that might stand in the way of the kids if they are ready.
  14. So if Diaz and Hays show they are ML ready at the All Star break you are good with releasing Markakis if you can't find a trade partner? Or moving him into a PH/bench role?
  15. At the time that happened I was wondering what Pedro was doing on the roster...
  16. That bit of WAR comes from his completely unsustainable stretch of throwing out runners early in the season.
  17. Obviously they don't throw curve balls in the minors.
  18. If you've been paying attention this year you know, it can always get worse.
  19. If Sisco can't hit enough to stick at Catcher than moving him elsewhere isn't an option, not unless he can pitch.
  20. Is he a sports guy again? I thought he gave that up.
  21. http://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/mp4/2018/09/14/2486362183/1536886055566/asset_2500K.mp4 Deflected off Kershaw's glove and bare-handed.
