Doesn't count.

Told ya'll it was a bad signing.

Some rebuilding team will sign him for 1/8M.

This is the guy that got upset over a game ball. I think he's going to hang on as long as possible to try and climb that career save list.

Westburg.

He'd tear his UCL on the first pitch.

Ain't got any left.

Can't risk him going somewhere else and being useful.

Yep, getting bowling vibes.

I can just see him and Elias having a talk about it.

Poor Roy.

They've tried to overspend on players, it's not an attractive location for free agents.

Cheap?

I'm not allowed to mention him.

The move never made sense. Take a flyer during the offseason and see if you can figure something out in spring training? Sure. During a pennant race?

One tenth? https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/BAL/2005.shtml The 2005 team?

Just saying this isn't unprecedented, or even as bad as what we've seen before.

Didn't watch the 2005 club eh?

Henderson and Westburg. Are we supposed to think a guy putting up a nine win season isn't exceeding expectations?

Wrong, Adley, Henderson and Holliday. I don't recall Mayo ever making it to #1 on a list, if he did it was for a mid-season list update.

But that's your aesthetic preference as a fan. Which is fine, you are welcome to it but it doesn't point to what is actually valuable.

He'd probably be making weak contact putting up a 109 OPS+. I don't know, maybe there is a unicorn somewhere that can pull a Ted Williams and hit the ball stupid hard and not strike out. I'd love to see it, haven't seen a version of it since Frank Thomas.

It's nine against one.

His strong side has varied over the seasons.

The poster child for the old school approach has struck out 26 times in 632 plate appearances. He's hitting .322, his OPS+ is 109.
