That's probably in the range I would guess.
-
I can see Mountcastle moving to 1B.
-
Or he's still young enough to extend probably pretty cheap.
-
Villar has been a better player than Schoop this year. Switch hitter with speed and solid defensively at 2B. I really like the move. It will help eliminate some of the station to station baseball.
-
Im thrilled we got Diaz. And as I find out more about the other players, we may have gotten some sold contributors going forward. My main point was, don't expect to fill the farm with Jones and Brach. Britton may bring a nice piece, but it won't be what Chapman brought.
-
Or they actually see that Mancini and Stewart aren't OF. It also means maybe they aren't sold on Austin Hays now. They have some solid pitching prospects.
-
Manny was the cornerstone player to change the foundation of this team. They had 3 large market teams bidding in him. Teams that will just buy other international prospects. Diaz seems to have a floor of Adam Jones, so he's a good get. But the other pieces like Jones and Brach aren't getting you much more than if it works out a RP or utility type guy. Britton may get you 1 good prospect if a team panics. Hopefully the Braves panic and send us one if their good INF prospects for Britton. Other than that, unless their trading Gausman or Bundy, Diaz is probably the only guy that has a really good shot to be a above average player.
-
Especially when 2 of their top 4 prospects are SP...which we desperately needed.
-
I will add, Diaz is a nice get and from what I have read, will be a top 50 prospect by seasons end. I read some rankings have him at 47 in their midseason rankings. I was hoping to get a solid SP prospect like May or a solid INF prospect like Lux. I guess the other offers didn't have a Diaz type player.
-
Considering reports this morning had is getting Diaz and May, I'm disappointed. Has nothing to do with what I thought we would get. I would take just Diaz and May over Diaz plus the 4 others.
-
So no May or Alvarez? Well...thats disappointing.
-
I still hope he can be more. At worst, our next Mychel Givens...hopefully.
-
You couldn't do any worst to be honest.
-
So many experts that aren't employed by a MLB team.

I would like to know why I was blocked from posting? I didn't say anything out of line. Other people were making accusations and ofcourse, nothing done to them. You can permanently ban me. I won t be posting again. It's not the first time you have pick and choosed who has to follow the rules...they seem to only apply to certain people anyhow. Have fun reading the same pompous assholes making the same pompous posts. Oh no! I used a curse word. BYE!

I hope it's not a torn rotator cuff. Went from being able to throw a baseball relatively hard and far (for a non-pro) to never throwing pain free unless it's soft toss and if I try to throw it hard, it hurts like hell and still isn't very hard.
-
Never blamed Davis. In an earlier post, I named the exact trio at fault for the Davis contract. He can laugh all the way to the bank for all I care.
-
Personally, if the Orioles are going into the gutter for another decade, I could care less if baseball seasons are canceled. And I actually stated earlier, that I blamed the Orioles and not Davis.
-
Teams should have an opt out clause. Make only signing bonuses guaranteed. Like the NFL does.
-
And who's to blame for that? Not Davis. He had all the signs of a bad signing. Yet Angelos, Buck, and Brady didn't care.
-
Yeah, cause God forbid we don't have the room on the 40 for the Danny Valencia, Craig Genry, and Jace Peterson's of the world. Oh and those 2 or 3 Rule V guys. This team has more than enough waste of space on the 40 before carrying Davis becomes a roster crisis.
-
Yeah, because they've done so well so far being leaders this year. Manny isn't a leader. He's putting it all together in his walk year, and it's still too much to ask of him to run hard on every play. I can't wait for them both to be gone. I actually don't have any ill-will at Chris Davis. He's what he' always been. A guy who strikes out alot. He just doesn't hit HR anymore. It was going to happen. The Orioles were the ones that gave him that bad contract. Who turns down $160m?
-
There has been alot of evidence to suggest the court papers released were inaccurate. And much information was withheld from the public that questioned Jackson's involvement. His own teammates years later said Jackson never attended one meeting.
-
Very good information. That's where I'm at. I believe Jackson knew about it, but wanted no part of it and played to win. His numbers prove that.
-
He was good to his personal friends. Normal people when the spotlight wasn't on him...not so much.
