Competition is always a good thing.

Only if the competition is actually better, which in this case it isn't. Josh Bell has not shown he's a capable major league hitter, based off what he did last year, and what's doing to this point with his mind-boggling strikeout to walk ratio. Reynolds has underachieved, no two ways around that. But this idea that he needs to be pushed or that bringing up Bell accomplishes anything is even more mind-boggling. It accomplishes nothing.

Reynolds is still young and the professional minds must see something most of us don't, he's at this level for a reason. He needs to get acclimated to the american league. Whether it's on your mind or not American an national league are different in regards to hitting, strike zone etc.

Can we have Dave Hernandez back? I would undo the trade and put Andino at third.

I'd rather have Melvin Mora back for one last go around than fool myself into believing that Andino is a capable major league 3rd baseman. If he's not a capable every day guy at short, how is going to go to make the offensive transition to 3rd base? The answer: He won't.

Most of us see the worst offensive player in the American league. I agree that we should give him time but the concept that we should throw him out there every day even though he is killing us is ridiculous. The team, the team, the team. Sit him and put someone in the game who isn't lost.

      2024 Ravens regular season discussion

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Well I sort of disagree here. You said guys have been bad to questionable. I think that’s wrong. I just think a few guys have been awful and that has really hurt us. I would absolutely give Washington more time. Brade and Kane are well liked but doubtful they want to play them much right now. A trade should be considered if things don’t improve.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Yeah, I'd rather keep him over Soto.  I mean Soto can't start.  Yes Soto was dominant at times out of the bullpen but he was also gasoline on a fire out of the bullpen.  I would rather pay Suarez $4 or 5 million, knowing he can start or pitch in the bullpen than Soto, knowing he can only start and is liable to melt down when needed most.

      It is funny how much Hays (the pre-2024 version anyway) matches the type of player they'll likely look for. I doubt that reunion happens though.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Weird thing about Suarez is that MASN had this being a 2 year deal when they talked about him back in April. ”The Orioles made another smart move with Suárez by signing him to a two-year contract in September. They knew what they’d ask from him and how it could contradict, and they didn’t want to give him any reasons to resist.” https://www.masnsports.com/blog/another-look-at-how-suarez-came-to-the-orioles

      Elias is refusing to spend money that Rubenstein has made available.  Do you have any sources?

      Outside Hamilton, I can't really think of any areas or invidivuals outside the line that have really stepped up.  Humphrey and Stephens have played okay but it certainly hasn't offset the complete zeroes that Eddie Jackson and Marcus Williams have been.  I don't think you want to pull Hamilton off SS even though he can handle deep zone assignments fine, because he's essentially a linebacker that can cover wide receivers and there's too much value in that in the box.  And I think that Roquan/Simpson look lost in pass coverage because the safeties behind them are playing like butt.  Besides Roquan wasn't ever really a great coverage safety, he was kind of okay at it but he was never like a Lavonte David or Fred Warner there.   I'm starting to wonder if we need to either trade for a FS and/or start giving Ardarius Washington more snaps.  He certainly doesn't look worse than Jackson/Williams at this point in his limited playing time.  In general i think safety is an undervalued position so we're likely to get good value in trade.
