UMterp08 Major Leaguer Cup of Coffee

I think that if we get Clement we put him on first and make that his permanant position. How many home runs would you think would be a good projection for Clement to hit per season? Is he a 25-30 per year guy?

Never going to happen. Clement's value is as a catcher. Put him at first, and he's below average.

I'd love to do that, and then you wouldn't need to carry an extra back-up catcher. But the Orioles do love their backup catchers.

That is really no difference in rankings...Plus, Clement had a much better year than Brignac did in 2007.

Also, it is a need for the DRays...They have Bartlett at SS right now and Longoria at third(in case they decided to move Brignac to third).

Bartlett isn't going to block Brignac when they think he's ready. They just acquired him for the sake of having a legit SS playing the position now rather than Brendan Harris. They don't think much of him though (and rightly so).

It would be huge if we could come out of this with Pie and Jones for an OF of Pie, Jones, and Markakis...Best young OF in baseball.

We could also explore putting Jones back at SS and leaving Scott in LF, and use Clement to get a 3B instead of a SS.

Also, I'd look into possibly adding something on our end to the Cubs to get Epat back as well and stick him at 2B....

Something like Bedard for Clement, Jones, and Morrow

Roberts, Bradford, and Olson/Albers for Pie, Epat, and Gallager

Can Jones realistically play SS for us?

One way to find out...

If Brignac is still in the organization, I am sure this is true.

The Cubs don't have any real need for a reliever like Bradford. On the right side of the pen, they already have Wood, Howry, Marmol, Wuertz, and Lahey... and probably Dempster after his newest experiment moving to the rotation fails. While we don't know how Lahey will do, five very good right handed relievers doesn't give much trade value for bradford.

Sounds like they need a lefty :002_ssuprised: We've got one of those too.

I don't think I've ever read anything positive about putting Jones back at short.

Jones and Pie would make Scott available and I'm sure a left handed bat would work for many teams.

Clement would probably have a lot of value and suitors, especially if packaged.

I wish we could get both Balentien and Jones in the M's deal, but it probably makes little sense to the M's. Also would change the dynamics of any deal involving BRob.

How about BRob and Clement for Pie, Gallagher, Cedeno, and EPat

That assuming we get Clement in a Bedard deal.

      Could Akin be stretched out to start?

      I guess we were watching a different outing.

      How should we look at FA contracts going forward?

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      You try to sign long term Gunnar and GR.  Wait and see on the others. As for Adley?   I would not sign him to a long term contract.  I hate to say it because I love the guy but he just does not seem worth what he is going to ask for imo.

      I am not worried about Means AS LONG AS HE IS HEALTHY.   Big if.  But he knows what he is doing getting ready for what him is his spring training.  If he does this his first 2 starts or so?    Then I worry.

      I had never seen him in a live at bat until I saw him at his first spring training at bat this year.  And I mean his very first at bat.   He struck out swinging on like 4 pitches and being honest looked completely over matched.  I remember thinking....."hmmmm that seems odd for a guy so highly touted".   He just seemed like he had no idea what he was doing.   But then I never really saw another live at bat from him again all spring training and he ended up doing pretty well.  However every at bat I have seen of him since he got called up?  Looked like that first spring training at bat.  He looks like my wife trying to hit a major league fastball.  He has no idea what he is doing. I have never seen someone so good against minor league players and yet so bad against major league players.  Just a huge discrepancy.   Has to be psychological.   He looks completely intimidated.

      And who is this somebody other than Means or Flarerty that would help us in the playoffs. Also remember Bradish and Grod did not help us in the Playoffs. So I guess It was unwise to wait on those 2. Plus Bradish is hurt and uncertain going foward( a la Means) Yeah you piled on.

      I will say I am surprised at how utterly useless/helpless JH looks after he got called up.   Not just surprised. Stunned is a better word. This is not an 7th round pick who struggled for years in the minors.   This is the #1 pick from 2 years ago who has dominated his entire life in the game of baseball. Yet he looks like a player in 8th grade playing against seniors in HS.  He can barely make any contact and even his fielding and throwing is very iffy. It is like he took up the game of baseball within the last year.   A complete novice.   This has to be mental because even the worst of the worst can make more contact than he is.  He is FLAILING.   No way that is all physical.    At this point you send him down.   No questions asked.   I was more than willing to let him get through this if he SHOWED ANY SIGNS of life.  But he just doesn't.   He looks pathetic.    Manny Machado he is not.   Send him down for at least 3 months.   Bring up Mayo.  Or anyone really.  It is better than what he is offering.
