Yastrzemski was not supposed to be on this list.
Everybody promised.

The Orioles sucked
But, not as bad as last year
Things will get better

He said he wanted it to see the “best offense we have ever seen”
He is 9 for 9 with 4 tds so far and looking incredible.
He is performing.
This is awesome.

I haven’t studied the matter, but I’m not sure I believe the calculation in that article. I’d think that if Fangraphs itself believed it, they’d change the valuations they publish for position players. But they haven’t done so.
PS - Note that the article was using data from 2006 to 2017. Per Fangraphs, the value of 1 WAR in 2006 was $4.8 mm. So $5.7 mm for position players over that entire 12 year period is more plausible. That doesn’t tell you what the market rate is today.
It’s likely not a very simple calculation using real-time data, so it must be pieced together using years prior when all the variables are known.
I would imagine that each team can better individually keep track of this within the organization, so it migh5 be something in Sig’s “Matrix”, or somehow come into play during negotiations and payrolls, but maybe not...

The Orioles bullpen has a recent tendency to make good pitchers look really bad, so I think they will all have their work cut out for them.
My answer is that I think the presence of Harvey himself makes it easier for all of the rest of them, but I want him wrapped in bubble wrap at all times.

Armstrong showing some leadership...
I agree with this. There is a time and place. Obv Bleier just coming out of a tough outing on the dugout steps is not the time nor place imo.

Hell of a thread.
I am glad you think so. I thought it sounded like more than “the usual”, but it was tough to tell from the broadcast...

I mean....besides suck again...
What did he do when he was pulled from the game? I heard the announcers talking about it, but I did not see what happened.
More frustration boiling over, I guess, but Bleier has completely sucked a lot this year.

Sorry for calling him an idiot.
What about Hyde’s decision to leave DJ Stewart in the game as well?
Just to point out the irony... Calling Hyde an idiot is “too tough”, but Hyde risking our players physical health is just “testing them”.
Hyde also got into a very public dust up with Chris Davis. I guess that’s ok because it’s the whipping boy Chris Davis.
Let’s just say Hyde isn’t making the best of decisions over the last couple of weeks.
He is a rookie manager.
He wants all these guys to succeed, so maybe he lets them play the game they love for too long?

Why?
He is a first round draft pick. He is here and has earned his time right now.
Just maybe someone in the .org likes him.
Why indeed.

Calling him a troll is a compliment. He needs to be called a loser more often. That's what he is. If enough of us come together and call him a loser maybe he will go away. He won't though. Why? Because he's a loser who has nothing better to do with his life than troll this board.
This is a little much. What kind of hangout is this..?
Just reading the last 2 pages and Dirty Bird was way more of a jerk than atomic was. Then everybody starts calling him names, and this....
This is a bad look.

I have to say it... it was pretty reckless of Hyde to keep Harvey out there for 30+ pitches in an inning. His FB was good but he was laboring through the tough part of the lineup. He should’ve been pulled after Rendon. Instead he faced Soto and then Cabrera.
Hyde is kind of an idiot for that.
Hyde was the only guy willing to take the job and I can’t wait till he’s gone. He’s nothing more than Bo Porter 2.0.
With a post like this and you are calling Hyde the idiot?
The man has more baseball sense coming out of his used socks than you do coming out of your keyboard

Well there goes our number 1 pick.

Every report I've read said this was Peter Angelos personally doing the negotiating with Davis and his agent. Behind the scenes, I doubt that Duquette supported it, with maybe Buck and/or Brady in support of a deal, but that's an assumption on my part, with no reports either way. We do know Adam Jones was very vocal about it.

That wasn't the purpose of my posting this information. I figured it was interesting at both the Oriole and ML as a whole level. If the O's had ranked 15th I still would have posted it.
Lol, if the Orioles were 15th, it would either be a national news story, or another indictment of WAR.

Scanned the comments a little. Yanks fans saying their winning hurts their drafts- it does- and yet the Cards have kept rolling. I know they haven’t won as much as NY but still. Also Boston has done well.
See my cheating comment.
Both Boston and St. Louis have been accused of some forms of cheating, sooooooo...

With consistently good draft picks, well above the last two teams.
We have all lived through this embarrassment.This is just another way to frame it.
We sucked. For decades.
