Is this really the price for Headley? Wow, this guy just isn't that good to be giving up to possible starters, sorry. I don't get the love fest with this guy.

Avery has a high ceiling but could very well end up being middle of the road in which case we still have hoes and both Matusz and britton are guys who have flashes of great and flashes of jv high school type stuff you've got to make moves and not sit around and hope for th best that's what we've been doing for the past 14 seasons and it has gotten us nowhere we are in contention and need to make a move to change it he's a plus defender he's locked up for more than just this year and he's a good bat with legitimate power that will be even better at OPACY over petco

Sorry guys, but you are all over valuing Headley BIG TIME. I completely understand that he plays in a lackluster offense, on top of a pitcher's park, but let's be serious! Would he really make us that much better? Average hitter, not much pop, above average glove. Sure he is better than our present options in terms of a 3B, but I don't view him as someone who warrants that much in return as mentioned.

I am not overrating our guys, but Britton and Matusz have strong upside. No way I give both of them up for a 3B. Haven't we learned anything? Starting pitching is everything.

      Some 9x stats

      Westburg exceeded rookie eligibility limits last year exceeding 130 at bats and more than 45 days on the active roster. On the plus side he might qualify as a super sophomore or at the very least avoid the sophomore slump.

      Westburg shouldn’t be, where are you seeing that?

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      John Means 2024

      By Safelykept · Posted

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      By Ohfan67 · Posted

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!
