Thanks for the info, Rick. :cool:

It may be more apt to post it (the information) in these threads, though.

Or, you could start a new thread with it (the information.) :)

Thanks, I was torn about where to put it, with the ton of new threads, I was reluctant to start one just for this.

I would have given Valencia a chance against RHP. Hopefully Betemit can produce.

Ever since the Meat refused to extend his rehab for a few days and forced the Orioles to make a move, he is off my Christmas card list. I won't be sad to see him gone next season.

However, a 3 for 4 with 2 bombs and 4 rbi's could cure a lot of ill will! :D

Would much rather see Flaherty at 2B and Roberts at DH

Betemit looks lost and can't run if by some miracle he makes it on base.

Looking like old times again where the O's send out their washed up veterans who will never play another MLB game past thier September in Baltimore.

Should have DFA'd Betemit when he refused to extend his rehab assignment.

Nick Markakis - RF

Wilson Betemit - DH

J.J. Hardy - SS

Matt Wieters - C

Brian Roberts - 2B

What these guys do determines the game IMO.

Wieters looked horribly overmatched yesterday when he was up with runners on. 2 pop up fouls and then a swinging bunt. I'm not brimming with confidence when he comes up even though he had a game winning hit recently.

Yeah, other than the game winner the other day Wieters seems like a black hole in our lineup recently. His OPS is now under .700.

bbbbbb but September is his big month

I'll have a party when they trade Wieters no matter what they get for him

Package him with Hobgood and Matusz to rid us of the reminder of failed top 5 picks.

    • I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.
    • It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.
    • Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.
    • O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted. 
    • No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.
    • The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
    • I would be very surprised if every last one of the GM's Elias talks to about quality starting pitching doesn't start by asking about Westburg and the rest.  Again, I think it's a mistake to believe that the O's have a ton of leverage here.  They certainly have some, and Elias is smart and disciplined, but I don't see any bargains.  I especially don't see the luxury of acting like youth and multiple years of control is any kind of rigid starting point for the O's.
