Don't laugh but Steve Phillips on XM just said he always thought the O's would get in on Pujols. I can't imagine why he thinks that, and of course he didn't elaborate. XM where failed and possibly felonious GM's go to die.:rolleyestf:

Great word friend

Who do you guys think DD is more apt to trade if Fielder miraculously becomes an oriole, Scott or Reynolds?

I would think Reynolds is gone whether we get Fielder (most unlikely) or not. He makes a lot of money and is too error prone to play third and not productive enough offensively for a first baseman.

BTW, the Mariners are not in on Fielder per Jim Duquette.

Right now nobody seems to want the guy. Perhaps the Ham Fighters can sign him after they lose Darvish...

Shocking that the market for an obese 1B, who wants 7+ WAR type money and being a 4(ish) WAR player isn't just brimming with suitors. I mean, throw 200M at him over 8 years and you might get good value for the first two years before he's too heavy to carry his own weight, or just evaporates into the abyss like other players in his mold shortly after they reach 30.

Realistically Fielder is good for 5/100M IMO. After that who knows, 3/35?

      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.
