    He’s good, at hanging cutters. A lot of loud contact off him today. This is the “lead dog” for the last three starter spots? Yikes! 

    All going as planned for a 110 loss season. 
     

    Also, Hunter Harvey had a dramatic start to his Nationals career.

    The A’s have been to the playoffs in six of the last ten years, and were in the race until the final week last year.   I’d say the fans ought to be pretty damned happy with how their team is run.  Billy Beane doesn’t fool around.   When he doesn’t think he has a playoff-caliber team he sells and reloads.   It’s been very effective for him.  

    To be clear: my disgusting is the lack of trying not the As or Rays, clearly both are doing it right. The Rays should have a movie about them, just amazing what they have accomplished with a city that barely wants them.

    I hope Odor isn't kept over a guy who could help the team in the future.  Odor's upside seems to be a guy who could hit 25-30 HR w/ a sub .300 OBP and mediocre defense.  He's basically Ruiz lite.  I would rather have last year's Ruiz over Odor in fact.  I know 700k is a big amount of money to the O's, but other teams make decisions like this every day.  Please someone come up with a scenario where Odor is on the team in 2024 or is traded for someone of value. 

    What value/prospect are you going to get for Odor? Seriously. A 4a guy? The upside doesn’t rationalize keeping him but you know my thoughts on this GM.

    Good call on Adley’s situation. I would be surprised if they give up on Akin just yet. The preparation, lack of, is maddening. However, there is hope still that he gets his act together and becomes a solid pen guy at least.

    Nevin will hit, and he has gotten a lot of run this Spring. I would be shocked if they DFA Nevin. I would rather see Stewart go, honestly. But I don’t see it happening just yet. 

    There are not a lot of obvious DFA candidates on the roster, currently. Perhaps a trade or two is in the works? Nothing big, though. Just some minor deals to clear some space, maybe.

    I think Owings is a good possibility, along with Bemboom or Taylor, to be added. Maybe add another waiver claim as well since they do have the first shot at them. 

    Trades? Can Elias do that? Wouldn’t know from this off-season.

    So do you agree? 

    Love reading posters analysis on the roster. Thank you Sir. I am pulling for Martin and hope Akin is cut from the 40 man. Don’t like his past behavior and his anti-vax stance be an issue for Blue Jays games, cut him and move on. Strongly dislike him. 
     

    For backup catcher, Notthingham has most upside and can give you a bat off the bench, I like that pick.

    On the fence about Stewart. If he makes the team, my guess is this is his last chance with the Os.

    Odor has had a bad spring but small sample size and new org, I am inclined to give him a lot of slack. 

    The 28-man roster will be as follows IMO :)

    I am too. For one, it means likely no DJ Stewart. For two, it means likely no Odor. And three, he can play a lot of positions and pinch run. And he's a good guy to root for and has had a hot spring. 

    Thanks! Corn just upset because Martin slept with his wife.
