I think the Nationals are the favorites.

Rizzo loves Boras guys and Fielder added to Zimmerman, Werth, Harper and Rendon would be one heck of an offense.

If the Nats sign Fielder (a reasonable possibility) they would offer to make the Orioles a good deal on LaRoche.

Nats fans are already wondering where to fit Rendon into their defense, not that I think they need to worry about that for a while (late 2012 at best). Harper isn't making it to the majors any time soon. I'm not sure why they skipped the Carolina League for him, but he is having a bit of adjustment to the Eastern League and AA ball. Best case for him would be a September call up in 2012 but I'll be surprised if it's that soon.

On second thought, I guess I'm not making my case at all, if I can say there is an outside shot that both might see time in DC before the end of next year. That's really not so far down the road. Short term, they do have to figure out what to do with Morse and LaRoche. Sign Fielder and Morse goes to LF and LaRoche goes in the discount bargain bin.

A good deal on LaRoche would be not trading for him. :P

Yeah, I didn't say I WANTED him, just that he'd be available at a discount. I should have gone with some kind of smiley face after that first line. Not sure which one to pick but any one of several would have worked. :D;) :laughlol: :thumbsup1:

If your 1B was hitting .323 .372 .566 .938 with 21 HR and 71 RBI, would you be in a hurry to pay Fielder 25M per to replace him?

I wish Davis the best. He mentioned playing regularly with the Os may have aggravated an "old injury". That bothers me a little. Don't we ensure a player is reasonably healthy before we trade for him? I know it is not a perfect science however we should be in line for compensation if Davis was hurt prior to the trade and the Rangers never passed this information to us. Thoughts?

For the record, I was happy with the trade for a healthy Davis and Hunter. An injured Davis, however...just another chink in "Trader Andy's" last few bits of armor.*

*for those keeping score, he's got approximately one-half of one elbow pad left. His codpiece, like that of every Oriole fan, was stomped into a coaster-shaped piece of scrap iron long ago.

He is done for the season either way. I just hope that his decision to rehab doesn't just delay the surgery for a few months.

I just hope he doesn't sleep on it wrong again, especially when it's injured, or else we may be looking at a full blown amputation.

      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.

      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.
