Hmm... I'd actually be okay with that, though I don't think Flaherty is ready to start in the majors yet offensively. I guess he has to step up though, because the defense is just killing us. That would make Tolleson the LF of choice for the next two weeks though. Not an ideal lineup.

From what I've seen, Flaherty projects much better at 2B than 3B, defensively.

Here are Headley's career home/away splits. This is the guy I want.

Acquiring Wright would be idiotic. Paying $15 million for one guy is crazy enough, but who would have to go back to New York? The suggestions of a B-level prospect won't be anywhere near acceptable to the Mets, and the Mets' requests for top-tier prospects won't work for the Birds, who need upgrades at more positions before they mess around with a big-bucks player who has battled injuries and declining production.

Plus, he is under team control through 2014 and could be a long-term answer for third.

So are you blaming the stadium for the drastic difference alone? Is it possible the guy chokes in front of his home crowd. As I recall we have somebody on our team that has had most of their success on the road....Sorry I'm not sure who.

You're not paying him $15M. You're paying the prorated amount for 3 months. Then his option voids, you offer arb that he turns down, and you get some picks. You offer a couple B prospects for a rental and getting the Mets off the hook for the rest of this year and 2013.

The Padres were apparently asking for "the moon" this winter when there was a lot of interest in him. They may be a little more motivated this summer, but it's still going to cost us. Their 1st round pick from 2008 is off to a great start at AAA, so Headley may be easier to move come July. If you could get a window to agree on an extension before completing the deal I'd up the ante on your offer (which is a good one). I think he'd be a breakout hitter at Camden Yards (and great fielder).

      Nobody put words in your mouth.  I asked you questions.  That you can't answer them should suggest to you how thought out our positions are. 1) The goal is the World Series.  What makes you think it isn't? 2)  That's the most generic statement possible that is impossible to analyze, 3) So Elfin, Burnes, Bradish, Cano, etc.  don't count because you don't want them to count.  But other than that, he's got a bad track record of trading..... .like what trade?  Are we all supposed to go insane and only evaluate one trade- the Rodgers trade- in the most hyperbolic terms necessary to justify our hyperbole? 4) So we judge him for hypothetical trades that we didn't make and can't even be analyzed?  LOL. Flaherty was a worthless trade?  This is the same Flaherty that started Game 1 of the World Series this year, right? Oh, so you just want to cry about Rodgers ad nauseum?  Cry ahead. So you want to fire the most successful GM we've had since Pat Gillick but you haven't even thought about who'd you replace him with?  And wouldn't even bothered until he was fired?  You understand how stupid that is, right?

      Rubenstein: Orioles will speed up the effort to get to a World Series

      I think he’s all in. That’s why I have hope that he will resign Burnes and add some veteran offensive a talent to help the team play better in October

      This is as plausible a theory as any other that has been trotted out since the end of the regular season and it's one I fully subscribe to. Personally however, I think restraint is advisable when it comes to comparing his historical business leadership to his newfound role as 75 year-old billionaire owner of a a sports franchise.  Especially given his demonstrated propensity for dancing on the home team dugout during the seventh inning stretch.

      Noted … I’d much rather have Teoscar. They would need to determine if Profar is the 2024 player or prior.

      Stop putting words in my mouth!    1) The goal needs to be the World Series 2) We need to spend wisely …but we need to spend 3) Oh Stop ….i gave him credit for Eflin and Burnes. The others were during the rebuild and selling trades. Which I said in my response to you,  4) It’s not one trade …. He’s tried to get help2 deadlines now. Beyond Eflin at two deadlines he’s done little to help the team reach the ultimate goal.    His moves in 2023 were Jack Flaherty who was basically worthless and Fuji who was so inconsistent that he’s not even pitching in the majors. Did I forget anyone? He did little to help an offense that was struggling mightily in 2024. He gave a lot away this deadline. They got Eflin but most everything else was mediocre or worse. The Rogers deal was just horrible. And why was he shopping in the bargain bin pile. Rogers was a 4.5 ERA starter before the trade which really wasn’t an upgrade and he crapped the bed after he got here.    I’m undecided over who I’d go after to replace Elias when the times comes.
