This one is a head scratcher. I get we don't have the money to spend on big time free agents but then a guy who has but up good numbers in the past signs a minor league deal. We could have gave him a deal for the major league team and about a million.

Yeah, I don't get this one. DD is failing at this off-season. You can't just blame ownership. DD is moving slower than the continental plates are shifting. We are going to end up signing Fuld and telling him, "now, I know you're a right handed hitter, but we need a left handed hitter. So you're gonna hit from the left with the Orioles. Mmmmkay? Greeeeat..."

When Reimold was tendered a contract for 2014, I was concerned that the team would pencil him in as the starter in either LF or at DH. Based on the non-moves so far and the smoke signals wafting from the warehouse chimney, I think that conclusion is pretty inescapable at this point. History be damned, it's Reimold or bust.

Cheer up - Frobby will be on here tomorrow with his patter of positivity and "wait until February, etc." dicta so all will be good...:hearts:

And we thought Andy Mac was slow to act....percolate, percolate...continental plates shifting...Bronson Arroyo say hello!

I was just trying to make the post qualify for Orioles Talk. :D

It's a sad day when guys are turning down a ML deal with the O's to go to a cellar dweller for a MiL deal. :(

      Feeling Nostalgic about the 70's

      By DrungoHazewood · Posted

      It was huge. I wasn't old enough to read it until about the 1980 version, but I'd check it out from the library every few weeks and probably read it cover to cover multiple times. It was there that I found things like Willie Keeler's .432 average in 1897, for the National League Baltimore Orioles, of all things. I think many people don't realize that before the McMillan Encyclopedia there was no single comprehensive source for this information. In many cases no source at all. You mention the Whos Whos in Baseball publications, but they only had active players. And I'm not sure how accurate they were, or how comprehensive. If you wanted to see who won the American League in 1907... I don't know. Or who won the 1922 batting title if you didn't have a stack of old Sporting News or Spalding Guides. There were some earlier books, like one called Daguerreotypes, but they were not well known or widely available or probably very accurate. I think it's true that when Ty Cobb retired he probably didn't know how many hits he actually had. When Babe Ruth started hitting homers some writer had to go dig around old guides and total stuff up to see if he was getting near some career record. The Encyclopedia was the beginning of the end of people who'd tell these long-winded stories of great feats of baseball from decades ago that were mostly not true. End of the Cliff Clavin era.

      What team do you hope we avoid in the ALDS?

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      I’d say Tampa.    I don’t want to see Arozarena in a playoff series. Ever. He kills us and I’m sure he’d go off on a big stage.  Their pitching is really good.

      Lamar Rumors ****** Updated - Ravens & Jackson agree to 5 year deal******

      By Hallas · Posted

      There's a new test called the S2 cognition test that is supposedly a better predictor of QB success rates than Wonderlic, which has a lot of high profile misses, Lamar included.  (Dan Marino, Jim Kelly, Steve McNair among others.)  With the number of misses on the Wonderlic test  it's hard for me to take the test seriously as a predictor of NFL quarterbacking success.  I also found this study that says the same thing:   https://harvardsportsanalysis.org/2014/04/wondering-about-the-wonderlic-does-it-predict-quarterback-performance/#:~:text=From the various tests we,and Wonderlic scores of quarterbacks.   S2 picked up on Brock Purdy being a possible diamond in the rough.  It started being taken around 2015, so its likely Lamar took it, but his score hasn't been publicized.  People made a big deal about it this past draft cycle because CJ Stroud did terribly on it apparenty.

      Can they option someone these last 6 games and still put them on the post season roster?

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      The way I read this, anyone on the 40 man is eligible, even if they are in the minors. Then there are exceptions for players who aren't on the 40an. So yes, I am not expert in roster rules but I believe Grayson, Kjerstad etc could be optioned and still make the postseason roster as long as they stay on the 40 man roster.

      2024 Opening Day Roster

      By oriole · Posted

      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 Rutschman 2023

      By Royle · Posted

      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.
