Which is why we've had so many since Cal retired? :rolleyes:

Heyman is an ass for this comment, but I'm sure we'll get another 10 pages added to the thread now!

What isn't obvious(or likely) is that we will stop at a certain level and that level won't be enough.

BTW, when has PA liked stars?

The Orioles need to do something. Soon people have to put a deposit on their season tickets(in a week).I know the Sales Department is getting alot of negative calls. The O's are one of the few teams who have not traded for or signed a player who played more then a month in the majors. All the players the O's have aquired played about a month in the majors last year.

Thank you for posting this. It brought me comfort I wasn't losing my mind.

If the market is a bit soft, I could support a bid for Fielder. But if we are talking Tex years and money, forget it.

      JD Martinez

      JD Martinez would be a more of the same kind of acquisition. He is not an impact bat and he is a periphery (around the margins) piece at this point. Why not set the bar higher and sign Alonso? Acquiring Pete Alonso allows you to move on from Mountcastle and put Mayo (where he belongs right now) DH. It also allows you to move on from O'Hearn.  Alonso gets everyday ABs and Mayo does. Those two things to a large degree help solve the lineup imbalance against LHP. I know Alonso will cost real money. But again who are we paying? The money is there. It's time to start using it (if we want to win in October).

      Your full quote said to use him as a DH for 100+ games. If you are worried about him being covered through his injuries - how can you assume he wouldn't be injured at the end of the season, going into the playoffs?

      Here’s an exercise… it’s the postseason and the bases are loaded. The Santa scenario. Who on our current roster would you rather have up over JD Martinez?  Same fact pattern as Santander’s AB.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      Why did you pare down my quote about it being for the post season and not just 162?  People, always so quick to clown someone. Lmao. Damn. At least use my whole quote bro.  If you think that we don’t need at least one proven playoff bat then that’s ok. My point is, that we have enough 1B/DH options to carry JD through his ups/downs/injuries over 162 for his experience, leadership, and playoff experience.  You can disagree, but quote me right.

      It's kind of amazing to me how no one knows Suarez's free agent status. I've heard it both ways. He's Schrodinger's baseball player.

      Since JD Martinez has a career OPS of .950 in the postseason across 12 series and 151 plate appearances, I am sure our FO will have no use for him.  A veteran player who has experienced a lot of postseason success rarely helps young teams get to that next level.
