I'm not declaring that he can't basically repeat the season. I'm aware it's a possibility.

Me? Yamamoto. That would be my first target. No way I think the O's do it. I also don't think they'd go for someone like EdRod who will probably be back on the market.

My concern is he doesn't have much of a margin for error. He's been a 5 ERA guy in the past and something as simple as losing a tick off the fastball could put him right back there. You starting giving up more runs you get pulled early more often and suddenly the innings you eat go down. I don't have faith that the O's will eat his contract if he takes that dip.

Most series starting Bradish, Grod and Kremer get you at least one W. I don't think Gibson would have fared better.

What? I'd rather not have Gibson back, I'd prefer an upgrade. But given the choice between not adding anyone or adding Gibson I'd rather add Gibson. I don't think the O's have the internal depth to handle multiple injuries to the starting rotation. Did you not realize I was responding to the post directly above mine? Sorry if you didn't, I didn't think a quote was needed.

I'd rather have Gibson than not any anyone. I fully expect at least a couple of arms to miss time next year and would rather not have Elias scouring the waiver wire.

I'd like any depth and security guys to have an option so they can be stashed in Norfolk if not needed.

Or that. I'll take Soto out of those five. Of course he brings nothing but bat.

Wow, sure would be great to sign a player like Yordan Alvarez out of Cuba. Do you guys think that market is tapped out or do you think they still have recruitable talent? Seems to me it's pretty hit or miss with how guys from Cuba do in the States.

Because some of us don't think he can repeat that level of performance. He wasn't exactly good this year, he was alright and he did throw a nice amount of innings but if he slips even a little he's a 5+ ERA guy that pulls the team down.

Right because guys that aren't elite athletes play division 1A Baseball and Football both. Sure they do. Pretty much everyone that plays professional football, baseball, basketball or hockey is an elite athlete. You ever watch the Brian Scalabrine videos?

You might be subconsciously updating his K rate to reflect the current environment.

When I see an Oriole player in a MLB or ESPN graphic it's mostly been Adley. So for right now, I'd say the literal face is Adley.

BPA.

When he creates it he isn't strong enough to lift it but if he then tries to lift it he's strong enough.

Or they buy a new one?

I am of the thought that any event like that (or pies) should just last the season in which they originated. I think the team is going to try and continue it.

Can you imagine being a destination so poorly thought of that no one wanted to be your GM? How embarrassing.

Yea, and he can in Europe and if he joins the military he can drink on base in Arizona. Was a joke.

Except legally drink.

I see what isn't considered an outfield error and I put no weight in someone not having any.

When you feel a need to interject yourself into a conversation just to criticize me it makes it look like you have an agenda.

When you mention an outfielder went errorless it makes you look like you are digging deep for a positive and weakens your argument.
