Heard on ESPN Radio that O's are looking at both Huff and Crawford from the D-Rays. Sounds like an offer could be made to Huff soon to platoon with Millar at 1B. Also discussed a possible Fiorentino, Ray, and Gibbons for Carl Crawford trade....who knows the reality of it, I personally think that's way too much to give up for Crawford. He's a great player though and I would love to see him in an O's uniform next season. Just wanted to throw it out there.

Way too much?

Are you serious? I'll personally drive all of them to airport.

If they got Crawford for that, they'd be locked up for larceny.

Too much? I would also throw in Penn just to get it done.

If your Driving then I'll carry the bags.

I think there would be tons of help to go round here on the board, to ship them out of Baltimore For Crawford.

And I would rather explore this Shelton rumor, then make a run for Huff.

I really like the idea of getting Crawford but I'd like to get him without giving up Ray.

Than your not getting Crawford... picking up the team options on years 2009 and 2010, he's owed $27.5m over the next 4 years. There will be plenty of suitors out their if he's going to be traded, and the DRays want pitching, young pitching.

I see what you're saying....I just think you could package Ray into an even better trade possibility than Crawford. Ray is the wild card in that deal and I don't want to see that guy come back and haunt us. Is/Should he be untouchable? No, but I would be careful.

Yes, these things matter. It's painful enough to have BJ Ryan shut us down every time the Blue Jays need to seal a win.

On the other hand, it's always fun to knock Mussina out of a game. But then there's a grudge against the Moose that I'm sure none of us feel against Ray.

Ray won't hurt us as long as the O's win their majority of games vs. Tampa. A closer can't hurt you if the you have the lead in the 9th. Crawford would contribute to more Oriole wins then Ray would, both offensively and defensively. Hoey could be the next Ray with time. Baez can close for the time being.

      The Braves series, June 11-13

      It's pretty hard to say definitively that the bolded is true.  It might be, but there's also the loss in ability you have to account for.  30 year olds are slower than 26 year olds too.  Maybe their game knowledge and practice have made it so they can overcome the meager loss in bat speed/athleticism over that time span.  But the picture is a bit muddy.   I also don't think the aging issue is limited to people in their mid-late 30s.  Bat speed peaks at like 24 or 25 based on the data we have right now on it, and after 31 starts falling off fairly fast.  Obviously this is population data and individuals are likely to see different curves.   But outside of the stars that have a lot of ability to lose, it's becoming pretty clear that once you hit your early 30s it's pretty hard to maintain your skills without all the "help" that is extensively tested for.   I think that even for early-30s players teams are much more willing to drop them over giving them expensive market-rate deals, especially since they can abuse young talent so readily.

      After a really dumb day at work, this was an absolutely delightful read. Seeing a diamond expert and a can of corn detonate a yoked PBA pro was absolutely wonderful. I love this website.

      6-man rotation is officially happening

      If you pitch Bradish on 5 days rest you'd pitch Rodriguez on 3 days rest?

      Heyman on deadline targets

      By Rbiggs2525 · Posted

      I think if you look at it draft by draft most years Elias did not have a chance to take a pitcher early. 2019 was Adley/Witt, 2020 everyone wanted Austin Martin SS over Kjerstad, 2021 it was Cowser or a few high school SS, and 2022 it was 5 position players at the top of the draft. I think Asa Lacy or Max Meyer were the only pitchers we could have possibly taken up until last year.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By casadeozo · Posted

      Crochet had a monstrous game tonight. 7 IP 2 H 1 ER 2 BB 13 Ks I would love to have him even if it meant moving him to the bullpen for the final stretch but someone is gonna drastically overpay for him with top of rotation potential and 2x additional seasons of club control.    assuming it starts with Mayo, Kjerstad, Povich etc
