Interesting news about Headley coming out of San Diego.

http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/7920906/chase-headley-san-diego-padres-denies-scuffle-petco-park-dimensions

Stuff like this can be a motivator for teams to move a guy. San Diego is basically out of it already at 11-22 and 10.5 games out of 1st. This also doesn't strike me as a guy who is a bad clubhouse guy but could certainly benefit from a change of scenery (and smaller parks) I think he would be a perfect fit for the AL East. He would also receive a lot more protection in the O's lineup (if you buy the protection argument).

I say go get him. Once Reimold comes back, that would be a sweet sweet lineup.

Unfortunately he's never posted a .300 BA, hit more than 15 Home runs, stolen more than 20 bases, and his defense is questionable. Have to pass.

Does he get more protection on the road than at home?

Your argument is sort of inconsistent. You are giving full season stats, but are implying that he's a better hitter than that because of what he does on the road. You've probably seen him more than me if you live in cali - but I don't believe he's questionable based on the defensive stats posted earlier in the thread. Perhaps not plus but not questionable.

With the AL East parks effects you have to figure he could get to 20HR's pretty easily.

Another positive is that he can play LF.

I was being sarcastic based on my discussion with another poster prior to your post. I basically agree with your analysis and that he should be a target. I don't know if he'll hit 20 HR's or not but I'm sure it will be more than the 11-12 he's put up in past full seasons. I have seen him quite a bit and I like him. I think he'd be a plus defender going forward based on a plus 9.2/150 UZR rate (better by DRS) over his career and from what I've seen of him.

The more I think about this, the more certain I am that Miggy gets the call up.

Any updates on him?

Roch posted a few things in his blog and on twitter. Basically that he is rusty but improving. He hasn't gotten a lot of live plays at SS and 3B quite yet. Maybe he will have something more today.

There is no reason to believe Miggy is any better than a .230ish hitter at this point with no power. We need a better solution IMO.

      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

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      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.
