The question is, "Who would Bordy choose?"  :ph34r:

AJ has been the man, the straw, the incomparable teammate, the morally competent compass and best thing to happen to Birdland since - I don't know - Cal Rip?  JMO

Well, the Orioles have Rasmus now with having to have given up anybody for him, so I'm glad that they didn't trade Adam Jones for him back in 2011.

A lot can happen in 7 years of baseball.

Mostly, I prefer the opinions of  those who are paid for their actions and choices over those who are paid or (as is the case here) unpaid for their posts.

It would be interesting to compare the "success" rates of the O's braintrust's decisions to the expressed contemporaneous opinions of those who post here.

I was against the Erik Bedard trade in the first place, so that scratches me off of any list of credible candidates. ll :down:

This is why people are paid to make the tough decisions and not us! Hindsight is 20/20.

Not to pick on anyone (totally picking people) two of our veteran board members El Gordo and Moose Milligan had two great posts.

Kemp, Gutierrez, McCutcheon, Rasmus, Jackson.

Which CF's? Just any in MLB? I'm not getting Josh Hamilton for him, so I'll say Austin Jackson. They both have a .333 wOBA and Jackson is a much better defender. Don't think Detroit would agree to it though. I'd take Guteirrez, Gardner, Cody Ross, Kemp or Bourne as well.:laughlol:

Weams you are my buddy but you are really drinking the Kool-Aid!

McKutchen has 10 more in WAR and 100 points in OPS

 

And those four consecutive top-5 MVP finishes, with one award. Jones has been consistently good, but never really one of the top players in the league. Thanks to the OBP McCutchen had a better overall peak.

      Cole Irvin 2024

      By dystopia · Posted

      Whether you want to call it "breathtaking stupidity" or just a normal level of stupidity... the point was, it was stupid, and he needs to be criticized for it. This is nothing new for Hyde -- he is always making dumb in-game decisions, the worst of which are ones like these: burning our best relievers for no reason, or warming guys up repeatedly and then not bringing them into the game (Buck was good at avoiding this and made a point about it).  This will have a cumulative effect throughout the season, and Elias isn't going to be able to bail him out this time by using the Norfolk shuttle to keep our bullpen fresh like last year. Most everyone is out of options. I get that people don't want to hear these things after a win but they need to be said.

      The Marlins are officially selling. Tanner Scott for Povich?

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Nope. Any why are you neg repping me for an opinion?  That’s Facebook stuff.

      I'd keep an eye on Scott. If his K's creep back up to 10+ per 9 and BB's back towards 4 or so, he might be worth a look. I don't think the Orioles can afford to trade any upper level pitching guys; they need the depth. The value of Povich is probably not that far away from what a 12K/9 & 3BB/9 LH Flame throw closer gets you.  If we had 5 Povich's in the system, it would not be as frowned upon. But Scott is not quite in last year's form just yet, so the Marlins will hold on to him for a minute to see where his value could be in a couple months. Might have to overpay a little to get him now as the Marlins probably feel like his market will heat up closer to the July deadline. Stowers, Norby, and a good low level arm might get conversations started. They might come back asking about Beavers, McDermott, some of the top DSL guys; I don't think it would be a conversation about Lottery tickets

      Anyone tried the Immaculate Grid game?

      By SteveA · Posted

      9/9, 44, 8 Orioles. It was possible to do all 9 Orioles.

      Has a relief pitcher ever won a Gold Glove?

      By baltfan · Posted

      I love this thread.  It would be great if this narrative about Cano being a gold glover could make its way to an influential site like Fangraphs or other places.  Cano is an excellent athlete and doesn't get the credit for it.

      This Year Really Needs to Be the Year

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Agreed. The dodgers have the Ohtani BS. Cole is down. Strider is out for the Braves.  We really need a step on neck move for a top end bullpen arm.

      Attitudes Towards Past WS Opponents

      By RarityFlaherty · Posted

      Yeah I was born in 85. Yankees will always be far and away the #1 most hated team for me. Royals are probably #4. I’d say Red Sox are #2 and Pirates are #3 but that probably has more to do with Ravens/Patriots and Ravens/Steelers rivalries than the actual baseball rivalries. I just don’t like any New England or Pittsburgh teams in any sport. I don’t like the Mets because they are a New York team, but at least they aren’t the Yankees, so it’s hard to say where I’d rank them. Probably somewhere after our other division rivals and now the Rangers because of how last year ended. I do like the Phillies because I have family who are from the Philadelphia area, but I don’t really have any feelings about the Reds or Dodgers.
