I dont think so

Baldelli is always injured, Gomes isnt great

Baldelli never came off as that special to me

His 03 numbers - G- 156 AVG- .289 OBP- .326

His 04 numbers - G- 136 AVG- .280 OBP- .326

Missed 05 :(

His 06 numbers - G- 92 AVG- .302 OBP- .339

His 07 numbers - G- 35 AVG- .204 OBP- .268

I think Hernandez needs to be packaged for young prospects, not off injured, semi-decent outfielders

That was my first reaction until I looked at Gomes #'s. They're pretty plain. I think he just hits homers vs Orioles pitching that's why the deal sounds good so quickly.

Not really...He is a natural DH with huge power....He will also take a walk.

Would love to have him here...Bat him 6th or so...Big power.

He has 30+ home run power over a full season worth of ab's.

He is also cheap and still only 27(turns 27 later this month).

I can't imagine this is based on anything real. You would have to think the Rays would be able to get a lot more for those two than that. And they probably would be against trading within the division.

Based on what though?

Look at this for a second...Hernandez fits a big need for DRays.

Better chance Baldelli plays 50 games than 110 games.

Gomes is a solid guy but he K's a lot and doesn't hit for a high average...He has decent but not great speed and isn't good defensively...A lot of teams stay away from guys like that.

Hmmm, bb doesn't usually propose fake trades ala, uhh, everyone else;)

I would be alllllllll over that deal. If Baldelli is healthy it's an incredible steal and he is your CF.

Gomes starts at DH, and bats 6th or so, and hits some bombs, takes some walks, and K's a ton. Huff plays first. Millar goes somewhere else.

I would be all over this trade if there is any truth to it.

Strangely enough, this sounds like another David Ortiz situation. Gomes has a good potential of putting up Ortiz like #'s...

I don't know about all that, but he could definitely be good for us. He didn't seem to get much PT for TB last year.

      Samuel Basallo 2024

      It has certainly been a slow start for Basallo in AA. Still very early of course, but not loving the 11-0 K-BB ratio. That's unlike him at any level so he may be pressing a bit.

      Albert Suarez 2024

      Yohan Ramírez is low man on the totem pole but in a true meritocracy Mike Baumann would be vulnerable.  Jacob Webb has done a nice job so far but I saw a 90 mph and nothing higher than 93 mph yesterday.  I’d put him in that group of not totally secure.     Suarez seems like he could be a high leverage nugget if he can’t last in the rotation.  All things being equal, if Bradish comes back, prefer to see Wells in the rotation and Suarez in the 7th and 8th inning role unless Suarez can consistently do a 5 and dive like yesterday.

      Means discusses his timetable to return

      By Can_of_corn · Posted

      I don't know if the Means camp can force a binding agreement that a minor league stint won't impact his free agency. Without that guarantee I don't see him agreeing to be sent down.

      Speaking of Fuji quickly, did anyone noticed he was so bad this spring that he was optioned to AAA despite being on a $3.35 million deal and is now pitching to a 9.00 ERA in AAA. Looks like the Orioles evaluated correctly.  Elias and company have only missed on evaluation with Evan Phillips when it comes to bullpen arms.

      Dean Kremer 2024

      By CallMeBrooksie · Posted

      Here's a really interesting video about Dean Kremer's new splitter from Foolish Bailey on Youtube. He makes some really great videos. He starts diving into Dean Kremer's splitter around the 2:00 mark, but the setup is worth a watch as well, so I didn't timestamp it:  https://youtu.be/y0XCOEt5dQQ?si=GA5Y1e239UODQ0tl

      I’d rather see him promoted to Bowie midseason if he’s performing well.  No point in getting ahead of ourselves though.  It’s been 8 games.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By ThisIsBirdland · Posted

      That'd be about a 26% increase in attendance over last year, with average per game attendance of 30k/game. That'd be outstanding and back in line with what we saw from 2013-2015. Based on the last two series, I don't think it's a stretch to see that as a possibility, but I personally wouldn't call it the low bar for expectations just yet.
