Trade Targets....

No chance we can afford all 3 options, but man, we sure of need to fill one of holes 1. Or 2.

We have enough minor league pitching that we should be able to afford someone off that list.

Could afford all 3 if they get Rickie Weeks instead of Prado or Murphy.

I don't think we need any bullpen help at this time. They have Britton at closer. O'day Webb and Hunter for righthanders. Mcfarland has looked good as a long man. Thats 5 spots filled and they will be moving a starter to the pen in the next week. Most likely Gonzo. That leaves the only spot a lefty guy and they have Matusz, Rappada and Wolf to figure out which one will take that role the next month or so.

This is dependent on Hunter returning to last years form, which he obviously has not done at any point this season. If he doesn't figure it out they need another good reliever. Can't rely on DOD and Webb every game.

What position will he play?

At this point i don't care. Lough and Ryan as the only LHH off the bench is just flat out bad.

You need to. And yes. It's scOtts' birthday.

I was saying I don't care because that's "?" :P

I'm for replacing Lough at this point with a better LH OF option -- I don't think anyone would claim Lough either. Also I'd think about bringing Clevenger back in place of Hundley.

    • 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. 
    • Well it certainly doesn't look like he'll be winning Rookie of Year award. And if we send him down for like the tiniest amount of time, we get him for another year, right? I think if this poor hitting continues it's financial mismanagement not to send him back down. Grayson got sent down and came back way better.
    • He certainly isn't a bust but I wasn't happy with the pick at the time and I don't love using the second overall pick for that type of player profile. Westburg signed for slot so he's irrelevant but Mayo was a great use of the money saved.
