The O's can't replace Bundy. We need pitching. Trading

Bundy now would do more harm to the team. Stanton is

a great player. But IMO pitching is more important for

the O's.

We are talking about a very young proven superstar hitter vs a pitching prospect who will ever only appear in 1/5th of our games. I trade bundy in a heartbeat

Gausman, Reimold, Britton/Schoop and Bundy? You'd be thrown out of baseball 30 seconds later.

I was always a big fan of Mike Stanton and his potential. I'm not a fan now that he changed his name, which by baseball standards is sub par. He should have changed it to Bigfoot Stanton, or Slammin Stanton, but Giancarlo? Really?

Well, his given name is Giancarlo Cruz Michael Stanton. I don't know, maybe he's more popular with the chicks as Giancarlo. :)

Which again boils down to Bundy for Stanton being fair. But we would need to give up more than Bundy to get Stanton.

I agree it would. I'd offer Bundy/Schoop/Reimold/Johnson and if they said No, then move on. If the O's aren't willing to spend to get what they need, then they are going to have to give up value to get value. The problem is they seem to be unrealistic in the value of some guys(Arrieta,Britton,Matusz). Maybe Tillman would interest them. 9-2 with a sub 3 ERA during a playoff push had to open a lot of eyes. Maybe Tillman, Johnson, Schoop, Hoes would interest them.

Any realistic Orioles proposal for Stanton begins with Bundy and Machado. Even then, I'm not certain we have enough ancillary pieces to make them bite. Maybe Tillman as a #3 piece, and one of Matusz/Arrieta/Britton to round it out if they think one is capable of overcoming their issues. If they're not enamored of the former "Big Three", it would probably require Schoop as a #4 piece. The Marlins are not "compelled" to move him in any way -- he's still under team control for four years, no matter how upset he is with the brass. This is just fishing for an overpay, and the Rangers or Mariners may just bite :D

As much as I'd like Stanton (and I'd probably give up more for him than anyone not named Trout), I think even I'd balk at that price...

The Marlins would command a position player like Machado in return. Thinking Reimold would get it done as the best position prospect in that deal is a joke.

There isn't a match here. Miami would command two upper-tier prospects. The only combination that would work would be Bundy and Machado + a B prospect, but the Orioles would never do that (for good reason). Bundy/Schoop wouldn't work and Gausman + whomever wouldn't either.

That being said, the Marlins aren't dealing Stanton. No matter how terrible that franchise is, they're not shipping the best young power hitter in the game with 4 years of cost control just because he wants it.

      Is Hyde/Sigbot burying another prospect?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      "Just the way it's played out" Read that as, "It's just the way the Sigbot gives me the lineups and I didn't keep this job through all those years of losses by denying what the Sigbot tells me to do." Hyde loves his veterans and he doesn't understand or perhaps more precisely, doesn't value keeping his entire bench fresh. Earl was a master at that. While Hyde is very good at some things, he his track record suggests he'll run his same 9 out there every day (platoon specific of course) until they break or get so tired they become ineffective. then he'll give a guy who hasn't played in a week a start and watch him go 0-for-4.

      Oh please. Do a search for Sigbot and get 950,000 results. I'm not sifting through it all. Look, you post a thread for discussion, then you attack anyone who doesn't agree wholeheartedly with your initial post. If you want discussion, you have to be prepared for people to have different opinions, and then you have to make sure you have thick enough skin to not freak the F out on people who have a different take.  If having Kjerstad up here for 10 days while Hays is on the IL is going to ruin him, then he wasn't who we'd hoped he was in the first place.

      How much do we REALLY lose(and what do we gain) by replacing Urias at 3b with Mayo...or Norby going to 2b...and Westy back to 3B?

      By Matt Bennett · Posted

      Yes, the Orioles could have more than 18 wins if a number of different players had played better. But Urias has been bad and a lot of those other players have been good. Typically you try to target bad production when theorizing how to improve a team. I think you would ask me what my point was if I said “The Orioles could have more than 18 wins if Gunnar was doing better”. The same sentence applying to Urias makes a lot more sense, since he has been below replacement level.

      Is Hyde/Sigbot burying another prospect?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Sigbot just generalizes the Orioles use of a computer system designed by Sig and analyzed by several people to give the Orioles brass additional information. I haven't seen one person suggest that it makes every single final decision on anything. Perhaps you can go find some posts where someone has said that.

      Then don't bring up Kjerstad if the plan was for the callup to be the 26th man, use one plate appearance a week guy.  For the life of me I keep seeing people making excuses and I don't understand it really. I like Elias, and for the most part, I like Hyde as manager despite the fact he runs his bullpen arms into the ground, but I do not agree on how they using Kjerstad, just like there was no reason TWO years ago to barely play Stower but go out and get an over the hill right-handed DH to play the last month of a season where the Orioles were not going to win anything.  Now, I've seen people make excuses and point to their usage of other prospects, but it's clear they pick and choose who will get everyday opportunities and I don't agree with bringing up top ten prospects midseason and burying them.  They 100% could have used Stowers in the same limited role as Kjerstad and at this point, ok. I just don't like how Hyde/Sigbot builds lineups by "maximizing" the advantages supposedly each hitter brings to the table against a certain pitcher, but doesn't take into consideration (or doesn't rank it high enough) of rest and what a lack of activity does to players, particularly young players.
