I have to think Hardy and Andino are much superior fielders to Schoop and Machado right now. But their bats are a negative. No deadline trading for these two this year. At least I hope not.

I'm joking a bit about them being up here now. I wouldn't want to waste some of their Major League clock on what will be another lost season. Maybe they can get a quick look in September when we are woefully out of it.

Well thats good. Its hard to tell when people are joking here sometimes. I wouldnt have traded either one for Greinke because the team just isnt good enough to compete this year. I also dont feel they are ready yet. Probably not even until mid-June next year.

I'm about to the point where I'm ready for both Machado and Schoop to be on the big club.

One way to bring some excitement...bring up Avery and Hoes, let them platoon LF...cut/trade Reynolds and Betemit.

Line-up:

LF Avery/Hoes, 3B Machado, RF Markakis, CF Jones, C Wieters, DH Thome, SS Hardy, 1B Davis, 2B Schoop

Bundy replaces DLd Hammel:

Bundy, Chen, Gonzalez, Tillman, and Britton

Might be terrible, but then again....

I'm not sure why we would want to deal Betemit. He's probably our second best left-handed hitter.

Schoop with another jack. The power is real. I'm going to be pissed if DD trades him.

One advantage of the recent poor play, I don't see a scenario where the O's trade Schoop during the season. I hope he does enough to be considered untouchable during the offseason.

Anybody who saw the Sportscenter Top 10 this morning probably saw Schoop get robbed of a HR on the #1 play by Phillies prospect Jiwan James. Too bad it didn't count, but still noteworthy nonetheless.

      Do the Orioles Need Players with Postseason Experience?

      They need players who are better than some they have

      Elias on contract extensions

      Probably neither - it may be more a function of lining up with players.  The Astros extensions aren’t really comparable. The first Altuve extension was ridiculously team friendly. Altuve had less than $1MM in career earnings ($15K signing bonus as amateur). He had a good 2012, making the all-star team. However, he struggled in the first half of 2013 with an OPS in the six hundreds.  He fired Boras in May, presumably because he wanted to sign an extension that Boras would have been vehemently opposed to.  The deal announced in July bought out his four remaining years of team control for $12.5MM and gave the Astros control over what would have been his first two FA years via club options that totaled $25MM. The second Altuve extension occurred after he rehired Boras and was basically about buying out his grossly undervalued club option years.  It was needed to reverse the mistake of the first extension. The Bregman extension was reached in ARB-3 negotiations. Neither of these situations are at all comparable to a potential Gunnar extension this offseason. First of all, Boras had NEVER extended a pre-arb player with seven figures in career earnings (Carlos Gonzalez was below that threshold).  He is philosophically opposed to it. Second, there are two potential comps that would starting points for a deal: Tatis Jr and Witt Jr.  Boras would reject either of those deals; he would want to do better given his distaste for pre-arb extensions, his strong preference for “record-breaking” deals, and the fact the Gunnar has more career WAR (at least fWAR) than either of those players when they signed their extensions.  When teams are successful in getting a lot of early extensions done, it’s often a case of having a lot of players amenable to an extension. That generally covers attributes such as not signing a large draft or IFA bonus (i.e., relatively “poor” players), players with geographic ties to the team (big part of Atlanta’s success), not having Boras as their agent, and being more risk-adverse from a financial perspective.  The team’s risk tolerance also plays a role as you can get burned if they turn into Grady Sizemore.

      I think the main reason they’re not big contributors for the Tigers right now is that they were all jettisoned from the team right around the time the Tigers got good. Canha was traded to SFG at the deadline, Urshela was DFA’d on August 15, and Baez shuffled off to season-ending hip surgery on August 22. They were 62-66 when Baez was shut down — they’re 28-11 since.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Ripken · Posted

      Their rebuild has not been better but their players don't melt under pressure.

      Hurricane Milton has apparently ripped the roof of the Tropicana Dome to shreds

      By SteveA · Posted

      So what do the Rays do?   Spend a lot of money fixing the roof for the few remaining years that ballpark has left?   Or do like the A's and play in a minor league facility until their new ballpark is built? I wonder if they could work out something with the Yankees to play in Steinbrenner Field.   It is in Tampa and one of the nicer spring training facilities on the Gulf Coast.   The Rays train in Port Charlotte which is (50???) miles south and I don't think the facility is nearly as good.   Steinbrenner FIeld seats over 10K, has luxury boxes, and a very accessible location for Tampa area fans.
