Not terrible to give anyone a spring invite, didnt bother me that we had Willis and Moyer on flyers. Just bothers me the idea of thinking that we can "platoon" 6 players at a position and call it a suitable roster.

The O's are going with a three man rotation this year, to accommodate for all of the platoons ;)

He seemed about the only player that didn't have a thread for this offseason. Any interest? Maybe he can be our MOO we don't need? Thoughts?:)

He did play in the independent league, so that is a big plus that the O's might be interested:)

Na, i'm still holding out for Manny Ramirez. He's spent the last year ridding his body of PED's and he's ready to prove he's legit. He's a perfect buy low canidate. He could be this years Nate McLouth and last years..um..Nate McLouth ;)

Sheesh. Somebody's going to give Glaus a chance, and pay him next to nothing (by MLB standards) for the opportunity. If he is healthy then what have we to lose by being that team? Are the Orioles really that deep in offense that they can turn their nose up at a cheap, potential power/OB bat? Remember who was DHing for us in the final game of the playoffs against Sabathia and the MFY with our entire season on the line? Lew freakin' Ford, that's who. I'd have taken a healthy Glaus in that spot eight days a week.

The Orioles are going to play platoons this year. Duquette and Buck clearly think it's the best option given the budget. Get over it. ;)

Your delusional if you think Buck would take McLouth over Hamilton, and do sco with a straight face. I don't care how many cherries Buck puts on top of his sundaes during interviews. DD works under the budget he's given, and Buck fills out the lineup card using the spare parts he's given. Don't act like you know this is the way Buck and DD thinks things should be done. Oh yeah...;)

Helps when you read what somebody says before responding.

      How many games will the O’s win during the 30 games in 31 days gauntlet?

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      The 1997 Orioles started 50-23 (111 win pace) and finished 98-64. It's rare for a team to stay this hot for all 162 games.

      Elias sounded like he’s interested in figuring out a way to retain Means: “This is not career-ending. We're going to get him back in good shape. But this surgery takes time." Means, 31, is a free agent after the season, further clouding his future in Baltimore and in baseball. He signed a two-year, $5.925 million contract in May 2022 and avoided arbitration in January by agreeing to a $3.325 million deal. "I think the first step is taking care of this and we're going to support him and we have a long relationship and he's a special member of this organization, just given everything that he's done," Elias said. "Obviously, we talk a lot, so I'm sure we'll be dialoging with him as we get him back on his feet medically. He's going to make it back. He's a big, strong guy, and once he gets this elbow injury fully behind him - which hasn't really been the case, it seems like, going back into last year - I think he's got a lot of really good pitching ahead of him." https://www.masnsports.com/blog/means-and-wells-undergoing-elbow-surgery

      How much do you care about winning the division?

      It's the Yankees. It's pride, regardless of anything else.

      By Philip · Posted

      To be honest, it depends on whether the division would be a step down, a step up, or expected. In 2022, everyone would have been overjoyed at 3WC. In 2023, we would have been furious. Now expectations are high. A WC is still playoffs but a huge disappointment. Not just considering the importance of a first round bye and R&R for the guys, anything less than a division title is a disappointment.  The division is the goal of the season. And I hate the Yankees. And I’m annoyed every time we lose a game we should have won.

      Bummer that it's a full TJ, which is a longer recovery than the brace. Hope it works out for him. It sucks, he only got 44.1 major league innings out of his first surgery. Maybe the fact that they were very good innings helps make sure someone takes a chance on him.  It'll be almost 5 years post no-hitter by the time he can take a big league mound again.

      I think the O's should consider matching and upping what other teams might be offering.  It might only be a minor league deal.  Even if the prognosis is really good I doubt the O's do anything like a qualifying offer, but bringing him back on a small deal makes sense.
