will go down as the steal of the off-season

and all the pundits will be jumping on the loss of Reynolds as an explanation of the O's sub .500 season

If we finish sub .500 then Reynolds wouldn't have made a bit of difference. I'll guess Reynolds will post another sub .800 OPS. God help CLE if they are serious about playing him at third base.

I think losing Reynolds will come back to bit us in the rear. A good first basemen is the anchor of the infield. Think of how many times he saved our butts because of his play at first. This was a money issue more than anything else. God help us.

I don't think he'll be the Indians 3b-man. He's likely to be their third option.

Well, they have Three first basemen, and Five Outfielders and Three DH. So they just might.

Spring is the season we can all take a breath, enjoy the warm weather and dream of the O's in the playoffs. Of course some would prefer to wallow in sqalor.

    • So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?  
    • There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time 
    • Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story. 
    • Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy. 
    • What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!
    • What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.
