Last year he was a replacement-level DH at 36. 51 homers and 410 hits are an eternity away.

Note that I didn't say that *I* think he will achieve those things.........I'm sure that's what *Vlad* thinks though.

Actually, I do think he has enough talent and freakish hand-eye coordination to make it to 3000 hits, if some team would give him around 2.5 seasons worth of PA. But sadly for him, that seems like a long shot at this point. I don't think he has a prayer at getting the extra 51 homers.

I am glad I got to see him in an O's uniform for a year. I will cherish my jersey and my memories of him on the baseball field. A Hall of Famer, a great guy, and would've probably been the best wiffleball player to ever grace the face of the earth.

      The Marlins are officially selling. Tanner Scott for Povich?

      Would you make that trade?  Povich for Scott?

      Cade Povich 2024

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I’m not trying to do some hot take. I’m just saying that I don’t see how Povich cracks this rotation over the next two seasons, and I dont think his relief profile is better than the LH relievers we have. So therefore I think his best value to us would be a trade to a 2nd division/rebuilding club.  But all of this is just my opinion. And if people want to disagree that’s welcome. It’s a discussion board. If anyone thinks my opinion is a hot take, or it rubs then wrong personally, or goes against the group think, well that’s more on them.  We’re all allowed to have opinions. Nothing personal. I love the winning and the new posters, but a simple differing opinion shouldn’t result in neg reps or devolving into Facebook level posts.  I appreciate the discussion. Heck, sell me on Povich. Where does he fit in on our roster through 2025?

      Tyler Wells 2024

      He can still have an impact on this team as an optionable reliever. He’d probably not get above relief option any way on this year’s team and maybe that’s what best for him long term given his injury history. However, we do lose Burnes and Means after this season.  Wells and Suarez are at least options to start next season.

      What happens next? Mayo debut or Holliday back up?

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      It’s funny that we always make such a big deal about service time and getting the extra year, and avoiding super two, but oddly the players closest to FA are the ones struggling on our team other than Burnes. Means, Santa, Hays, and Mullins. If Mayo can play some 3B/RF then there is a role for him on this team to replace McKenna. When Hays is ready to come back we can reevaluate things to see who would go. I’d like to see Mayo’s bat vs the LHP the next two games in the small park.

      Cole Irvin 2024

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Definitely gotta respect Irvin. He seems like a guy that is willing to do whatever to win. This isn’t the first dominant stretch of his career. He was leading the AL in ERA at the all star break in 2022.

      Count me as so one who wants to see this as well.  Suarez looks like something to me.  The bullpen suddenly looks promising.

      Who will be our top AL East rival in 2024?

      By AlbNYfan · Posted

      According to the MLB standings, The Red Sox are only 6-12 against teams that are better than .500. Shockingly (I know this is about the AL East), but the maybe the AL East isn't presently the beast it usually is. The Central which has been lousy for a while appears to be much stronger. All but one team are over .500. Big change.
