The fact remains that if it is only 3 players, then it is likely that they are three better prospects, no Chen or Butler involved. Maybe this means that Triunfel is coming back.

one thing i can say for sure is triunfel is not in the deal.

Agreed. I'm hopeful, but still feeling vulnerable after the Roberts fiasco!

Hey...where do you live in Glen Burnie? I lived there for almost my entire life until about 2 and a half years ago.

Glen Gardens. Neighborhood across B&A from GBHS. Lived here my entire life, save when I was in college and then two years after.

True. But you have to admit that most of the smoke being generated this time is through newspaper reports and quotes directly from Bavasi (that he's catiously optimistic) and also MacPhail's self imposed deadline (Jan 29). Roch also thinks something is going down. Very little of this is being generated by "insider" reports.

I ADMIT NOTHING!

Nah, I hear you. But at the same time, nothings done until it's done.

The guy who posted it is well respected in the Seattle Times forum and he posted this as well:

And thats correct I have nothing to gain here. I've been posting here since May of last year and I would lose my respect and credibility if I would make something like this up. I wouldn't ever want that.

So he doesn't seem like the type of guy to make stuff up...

My wife and I moved up to PA from Southgate over by the hospital. Good to see a fellow Glen Burnian in the group...I'm sure there are more. I still consider myself a Glen Burnian...or would that be a Glen Burnout? :D

Well if he says he's not making it up it must be true ;) Only joking, I really hope this time it all works out!

I used to say Bunion. Don't know why. I'm also the unofficial GB defense force captain. I assumed this position when an old buddy was driving north on Ritchie and when he hit the GB border type area (around where 10 dumps in to Ritchie) he freakin' locked his doors. At 1 pm in the afternoon. That was like 10 years ago, and I still haven't stopped giving him crap for it.

But I'm waaaay off topic.

I bet all the merchants that sell Orioles gear want this deal to go down too so they can actually sell all those Tejada jerseys they have. Just take Tejada's name off and put Jones' on.

I do believe that if any players are coming to Baltimore, it's probably only players on the 40 man roster. I would be surprised if any lower level prospects are coming, even though they might be part of a trade. I would be surprised if it's only 3 players.

Hopefully we are looking at 3 (40 Man) guys and 2 A/AA prospects.

      Unfortunately have not really been able to watch I wish they showed more ST games on MASN.

      I have no doubt that the WBC games are 100 times more electric than a spring training game.  ST games are very relaxing and fun, but they are the opposite of intense.  I’m still surprised at the viewing disparity, though I’ll wait until tomorrow night before considering the poll results comparable since I started the WBC poll a day earlier.

      Fangraphs positional power rankings

      By Frobby · Posted

      Fangraphs credits him with 2.1 fWAR at 3B and 1.7 at SS, so that’s 3.8 so far (it’s possible they might have him dabbling at DH once in a while, we’ll see).  At SS, the O’s ranked 18th at 3.4 fWAR, with Mateo and Henderson splitting time roughly 60/40.  Fangraphs comments: “This playing time projection is the numerical equivalent of throwing your hands up in the air. Henderson looks bound for stardom, be it at third or shortstop, but Mateo is still holding on to the position for now after a solid defensive year established him as the everyday starter. His offensive numbers are downright ugly – that .284 projected wOBA is the second-lowest for anyone in this article with 100 or more PAs – but you can get away with that kind of bat at shortstop if your glove is transcendent. “In 2022, Mateo’s was, but he’d never flashed that level of defense before, so Orioles talent evaluators will have their work cut out for them early in the year. Henderson will likely start the season at third base, but if Mateo’s defense looks shaky, the team should make the switch sooner rather than later. Those offensive numbers next to Henderson’s name are no joke — think Corey Seager, if you’re looking for a parallel as an offense-first lefty shortstop. 2023 is just the start of Baltimore’s plan for contention, but what they do at shortstop will have ramifications for both this year and the future.” https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2023-positional-power-rankings-shortstop/

      What I've been seeing overall is that a lot of fans were more engaged with the WBC than with their regular team this spring. Just yesterday I was talking to someone who had gone to the games in Miami and were raving about the experience.

      I hadn’t really started the WBC poll with this in mind, but so far it appears that many more OH members tuned into the WBC than have tuned in to O’s spring training games.   Considering the composition of the audience, and the frequent complaints about the paucity of O’s spring training broadcasts, that’s not necessarily the outcome I would have expected.
