      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By 24fps · Posted

      No.  Nor are they going to lead the O's to the AL East cellar next week.  Elias is going to need to get some pitching, nobody is arguing otherwise.

      Exactly this. While I appreciate he could be the guy, they are loaded at MIF. The more I watch Westburg the more I'm convinced he IS a dude. Calling up Mayo to play 3B I'm only slightly hesitant about because I've read regarding his defense. Westburg looks more comfortable at third to me, but I love that he's played 2B at a high level as well. Nice to have so many options.

      I’d rather see him in CF vs second base but I’m not sure we see that transition or not. I guess it depends on how comfortable they are with doing it at the ML level and in the offseason…because he won’t be in the minors for much longer.

      Basallo for Crochet?

      No earthly way I trade 6 years of a top 20 prospect, catcher or first base, for 2.5 years of a guy who has made 17 major league starts.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I never said that and do not believe any of that as Rubenstein didn't even have control of the franchise at that time. And you better believe that if it was still in Angelos hands he would not allow Rubenstein much of any input until ALL of the risk/liability was transferred to Rubenstein. I love your use of the word "methodical" there to describe John Angelos. I have some of other words for it - cheap, miserish, greedy, moneygrubbing, tightwad, terrible, awful ... just to name a few...lol

      I think the vast majority of people think that playoffs in any professional sport is a crap shoot. I also don't think you'll find anyone on this board that doesn't want to make any additions to this roster. I just take issue with an argument that says there is no way the Orioles could win the WS with their pitching staff. That's over the top and hyperbolic. Just over the past few years, there have been teams that won the WS with pitching staffs that were as good or worse that the Orioles.  '21 Braves starters 3.84, BP 3.97 '19 Nats 3.53, 5.68 '18 Red Sox 3.77, 3.72 '17 Astros 4.03, 4.27 '15 Royals 4.34, 2.72 '13 Red Sox 3.84, 3.70

      Gunnar vs. Coby Mayo at the same place in time

      That's the problem with using your top draft choices to draft the best player available: you can end up with an imbalance that makes it difficult to use all the talent you've got. You can reduce the problem by drafting shortstops, many of whom can move to the right along the defensive spectrum, but they can't all do that. And they can't pitch. You can fix an imbalance of talent by trading talented guys who are likely to be blocked by other, more talented guys. But if you're not willing to do that . . .
