I do. Nolan is looking like its 2009 all over again and I would rather have him on the roster.

Give me the young guy over the star in decline every day of the week.

You missed the point.

Vlad is a necessity especially due to the injuries this team will likely experience.

His bat will help make up for the loss of Roberts/Hardy/Lee and likely drop in offense that will come from their inadequate replacements.

Someone who is solely a DH is never a necessity.

B-Rob and Izzy are both out today.

Split-squad, here is the first game thread.

http://forum.orioleshangout.com/forums/showthread.php?t=107770

From: ORIOLES INSIDER:

Infielders Derrek Lee, Brian Roberts and Cesar Izturis won't be in either lineup. Lee is getting a magnetic resonance imaging on his sore right wrist today. Roberts remains sidelined with back spasms. Izturis turned his left ankle Monday. The good news is that both Roberts and Izturis are feeling better and estimated that they'll return to the lineup soon.

Said Izturis: "Couple of more days, but it’s getting better. I’m going to hit today to see how it feels tomorrow. It’s good. I have no pain."

Said Roberts: "I try to play every day so I just wake up and see how it is. If it was the regular season, I could probably play. But I doubt we’ll push it."

Roberts also said that he had the spasms a couple of days before his much-discussed head-first slide into first base on Monday night against the New York Yankees.

"I had a grab that kind of started two days before that," Roberts said. "I never really said anything. I just kept going. I wanted to keep playing. It’s what I used to get. When I get them, they usually come on and go away on their own after a couple of days. I probably didn’t help things about sliding when I already had a back spasm, but that wasn’t what caused it."

That is the point. Roberts would be playing right now if this were the regular season, but they are just being extra careful with his back right now. There really isn't anything to see here.

Well, except for the small fact that this is the exact same thing he said last Spring...just before missing 100 games! :o

He was sitting out of workouts then, he sat out of a game, but is still taking full workouts. Going back and reading some of these articles, the ones I can access anyway while I am at lunch, the tone seems much different.

Roberts was diagnosed with a disk problem in February close to the start of camp. He was injured when he came into camp, that did not happen this year.

Joe Crede called, he said not to be so dismissive. ;)

SJ, I know the sun is always shining on you and your fedora, but can you at least see why people are having the reaction they are right now?

Ok, how can the sun be shining on him AND his fedora? If he's wearing a hat, he's protected. Think before you speak.

Not to belabour but just because he has protection wouldn't prevent the sun's rays from shining on him....and his fedora. Am I right? :scratchchinhmm:

I just don't understand why Moose is raining on SJ's parade.

:agree:

Now back to our regularly scheduled debate....;)

Picking nits. Clearly, if he walks with his head tilted slightly upward the suns rays can peek underneath the brim of the fedora. Also it's a fedora, not an all encompassing sun shield. While his eyes might be somewhat protected, the rest of him isn't.

YOU think before YOU speak, sAn!

Wait, fedora? I meant...reflective air-tight space suit. Typo.

      2024 Prospect Power Rankings

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      A couple of things that I find interesting, Yaqui Rivera - Acquired in the Tanner Scott/Cole Sulser trade with the Marlins. Juan Nunez - Acquired in the Jorge Lopez trade.   Creed Willems - still only 20 and already in A+.  He got off to a big start last year as well and then struggled the rest of the year.  We're a little spoiled with prospect success from the college guys and HS phenoms Mayo, Holliday, and Gunnar.  The HS position players take some time.

      Perez threw an inning of rehab last night with Norfolk.  His velocity was down about 1.5 MPH on his sinker, and everything was down a tick, but he was getting some work in and doesn't look too far away from being ready.

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By dystopia · Posted

      I don’t trust that guy to be very useful despite the strong start. He’s a good regression candidate. Would rather have Kopech.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By jabba72 · Posted

      O's have Fabian behind Bradfield and Mullins will likely decline after '25 when he becomes a FA. I think one of those two should be able to hold down CF. Beavers could be in the mix as well.

      Its a total joke that Wagner isn’t it in yet.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I see no dilemma. He’s under team control right now during his best season’s. When he becomes a FA he will be out of his prime. I mean I love Mullins as a player and what he brings. But when we are talking about priorities for extensions, he is nowhere near the top considering you have an MVP caliber 22 year old, an ultra talented top prospect who is 20, and your team leader is 25. Those 3 are the engine that will drive this bus toward postseason glory most probably, not Cedric Mullins. If the Yanks want to give him that kind of contract while we retain 2 out of the 3 if Henderson, Rutschman, and Holliday; then so be it!  What I shudder to think about is a prime Henderson or Holliday crushing it for one of our competitors so that we can have a declining CF. Didn’t we just do that the last go around? Where we choose to resign the (predictably) declining player while we let the younger/more talented player leave? Yes, I agree that Bradfield Jr’s development is important. But since Elias/Sig have been here they haven’t struck out on any first round picks. Also, if Bradfield proves to be a bust, they can always draft and/or develop another CF type.

      Thanks, I missed that detail probably multi-tasking in the game thread. I do think Kimbrel has a good shot*...Wagner should go in next cycle, and the electorate in the coming years will be wrestling with how Epstein, Friedman, etc. have improved per pitch efficiency by downsizing the workload literally any individual pitcher can shoulder.      There can't not be any Hall of Famers with all this run prevention going on.    I think now that he's officially retired Strasburg will be a good debate.    Bumgarner too, though I don't believe I've seen that guy yet admitting any retirement. *better shot if say he can get the last out of an important postseason series or three in 2024.
