Orioles0615

I mean anyone if its the right player. I would be hard pressed to not say no if the Braves for some reason said we could have Acuna for Holliday

I don't really trust this but...

Fraizers slugging percentage is only 10 points lower than Adleys

He's the Orioles love child, they will run him into the ground.

Trading for another infielder. Basically another Brett Phillips, some veteran who can't hit that will block young guys

And so is the idea of every prospect is going to work out and hoarding them in the minors forever. No one is asking to tarde Holiday, Kjerstad, Cowser, Or Westburg (unless the Braves feel like dumping Acuna) But moving Ortiz, Norby, Hall, Basallo or lesser guys for players who can help us win the world series will not hurt us

Nail on the head. A) top 100 guys fail all the time B) With how this team is developing any top 100 guys we lose can be replaced. Fabian, Beavers, Bradley could all be in there one day.

Oops, they are like the opposite of each other too. Koji threw 88 with pinpoint control and Fuji throws 101 and is wild as Ricky Vaughn

It would be nice if Elias actually tried to get someone to make us world series contenders, but all I see is more Koji's and Cole Irvins. I am sure there will be one head scratching move like always as well

Id rather of just used Irvin after Grayson for 3 innings

Yes but (and this has nothing to do with this year) what pointless vet to block playing time will we sign next year though? There should be no more pointless infielders, Westburg, Gunnar, and Ortiz (unless traded) should be the infield next year. And Heston should be in the outfield next year along with Mullins and Cowser. At some point you need to stop with the veteran blocking players.

Then call Joey up all ready and play him every day at SS with Gunnar and Westburg and SS and 2b. But oh wait we need to get Mateo and Fraizer in

I would do that in a second for Ohtani. People saying we don't need Ohtani are just plain delusional. For all we know this is pour best chance at a world series. The Yankees and Red Sox are down and Toronto is under performing. You damn well know next year the Yankees and Red Sox will be massivly improved while the Orioles will sit and sign the Gibsons/Lyles of the world and more pointless players to block prospects

Cedric Mullins would miss significant time with two stints on the IL --- shocked Grayson Rodriguez would have 7.33 ERA in 11 starts --- depending on what point in spring training I wouldn't have been surprised Kyle Gibson would have a 4.76 ERA in 21 starts --- expected Dean Kremer would have a 4.80 ERA in 20 starts ---- expected Cole Irvin would have a 5.11 ERA in 8 starts, 11 games and spent significant time in AAA --- indifferent, I would have been shocked but not surprised Baker (3.83), Perez (4.88), Voth (4.94), and Akin (6.85) all would take steps back from their 2022 performances -- Perez is the only shocking one here Mychal Givens would have an 11.25 ERA in just six games over 4 IP - not surprised Dillon Tate and John Means have not pitched in the majors yet - expected DL Hall would only pitch in only one game at the majors and be in Florida getting reset - not surprised Ryan Mountcastle would be slashing .233/.268/.424/.692 and lost his job against right-handers to Ryan O'Hearn - very shocked Aaron Hicks would be starting outfielder for the Orioles - very shocked Jorge Mateo would be slashing .214/.264/.346/.610 and lost his everyday gig - not even remotly surprised The Yankees would be in last place in the AL East - was praying for this All in all given all of this and with expectations from the rest of the team I thought we would be hovering back and forth around .500

They won't ... they will over ride the Hicks wave, and then finally just plug in Mckenna

Why do i get the feeling he comes back out for the 6th, gets an out then lets a runner or two on, Hyde finally decides to change picthers who come in an let an inherited runner score again.

Do you think Hyde will actually do that in the playoffs? I have a feeling he won’t

If people so obssesed with prospects playing then we should trade a bunch for Ohtani. Stop wanting to prospect hoard and jerking off to top 100 lists

They need a "stopper" Not that Hyde would use a stopper correctly anyway, especially since they don't let guys pitch 3 days in a row

Cowser has played in 7 games how is he bad?

I mean I like Mayo but where is he going to play? Especially if Heston is going to be a 1b eventually

https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trades/trade-143447/ Anyone do this?

Sending Cowser down would be completely unacceptable. That is not putting out your best roster and trying to win

What would it take to pry Justin Steele from the Cubs

If its Cowser or Westburg i will seriously be pissed off. That is not putting the best roster available and not trying to win I think they make room by someone stepping in a pot hole
