If we’re just talking internal candidates then I think it’s pretty easy to put something accurate together. Personally, I don’t believe for a second that Holliday has a real chance at breaking OD. I think Urias at 3B, Henderson at SS, and Westburg at 2B is the most likely every day configuration if they’re not adding anyone significant from outside the organization. If we start talking about potential moves for outside players then this gets a lot more dicey, but fun. Personally, I’d like to see two mid-rotation starters added. Give me something like Jordan Montgomery and Logan Gilbert. Tell me that a rotation of Rodriguez, Bradish, Montgomery, Gilbert, and Means is not one of the most balanced rotations in baseball. Insert similar names for the additions, I’m not particularly hung up on specifics right now. That’d push Wells and Kremer to the BP full time. Id probably resign both Fuji and Hicks, if he’s interested. That leaves a bullpen with something like Cano, Fuji, Webb, Coulombe, Hall, Wells, Kremer, and Perez. I gotta agree about Bautista, unfortunately. Big if, but if we are thinking that Holliday is a legit consideration then I’d be moving Urias. Mateo seems like a easy DFA. Ortiz can be the backup infielder. I may even consider moving Urias anyways and slotting Ortiz at SS until Holliday is ready. Anyways, that’s really just an addition of a couple mid rotation starters (one through FA, one through trade), an okay bullpen addition, and possibly a veteran presence if Hicks is okay with a backup role in the OF. I don’t really feel the veteran presence is totally necessary, but judging by offseasons of the past, Elias finds it very necessary no matter how redundant the piece may be. Also, there’s no room for all of Hays, Mullins, Santander, Cowser, Kjerstad, and Stowers. I’m thinking at least one of these OF guys can be part of the aforementioned trade for a mid rotation starter. Does something like Kjerstad, Basallo, and Urias get Gilbert? I dunno…getting too specific now. -
Adley’s going to reach base 250+ times this season. Joe Mauer did that 4 times. Mike Piazza did it twice. Johnny Bench once. Buster Posey never did. Neither did Carlton Fisk, Gary Carter, Yadier Molina, Jorge Posada or Ivan Rodriguez. -
That would certainly explain why O’Hearn is not allowed to hit against a LHP ever. -

I don’t think it will need to happen. I can see them DFA guys or just option guys they know won’t be on the postseason roster. Jorge Lopez is a perfect example of this. -

That definitely sounds like an Elias move. I'm sure the atmosphere in Toronto has been poisoned for Manoah. He is obviously a hot head and immature, but he has already shown Cy Young potential. I don't think Toronto would want to trade him in the division in case he recovers to his former self. Imagine if the O's traded Arrieta to the Yankees and he went on to win a Cy Young there. -

Well I said Coulombe was no good because he hasnt been good for like 5 or 6 years and guys like that don’t usually just all of a sudden turn out to be good. Even you can understand that, at least when you aren’t completely lying about what I say. And didn’t you say Mateo was good and an everyday player? Oh yea you did and you did that despite most of the evidence telling you that’s a pretty bad opinion. It’s clear you don’t seem to understand the issue I’m putting out there, so I’ll just sit back and watch you troll and misrepresent my comments, per your usual. Luckily, I’m sure Elias won’t be stupid and offer Means a contract that he shouldn’t, so I feel good about it not happening. -

I'm predicting the "clubhouse veteran" will be an OF to compensate if Kjerstad/Cowser aren't ready for regular reps. Although, I'm concerned that Kjerstad has almost not played the field for the O's. Someone needs to research if he's actually Jack Cust in disguise.
