(Almost) All Things Manny Machado....

[Redskins Rick]

Why are you sure?

Because the writers said so last week.

You aren't a newbie and you should know that typically appeal hearings on performed on one of their day offs.

That is, if Manny decides to appeal, last I heard, he hadn't decided.

According to fangraphs:

Manny is worth 3.4 WAR and 27.1 million, which is half of what he ended up with last season.

On pace for 70.8m in value over the season, just under 9 wins at 8.8.

Pay him whatever the heck he wants. He IS the window, all by himself.

Exactly, guys like Harper, Trout & Manny don't come along very often.

I remember Frobby speculating that it would be today, but I didn't read anything else to that regard. Do you have a link.

Well he already decided he was going to appeal, that's what kept the suspension from starting immediately. Whether he drops his appeal or has a hearing technically remains to be seen, but dropping an appeal prior to a hearing is a procedural move I have only seen used for pitchers so that they miss the minimum number of starts or relief appearances (drop the appeal the day after they start or the day after they have pitched in two consecutive games with the effect being shortening the suspension by a day).

I don't know why a position player would drop his appeal (except maybe a catcher in a day game after a night-game situation), suspensions are never lengthened upon appeal.

This is the best I could find. Still looking for the writers who said it would be definitely today: A date for Machado’s appeal hearing — which will be heard by John McHale Jr., the special assistant to the commissioner — has not yet been set, but appeals are typically arranged within a few weeks of the initial ruling. Scheduling depends somewhat on both parties’ schedules and availability, but the league office attempts to expedite the process.For comparison, suspensions and appeals for the incident between Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor and Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista after Odor punched Bautista followed a hard slide at second base, were completed within 12 days of the initial incident. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/blog/bal-orioles-manny-machado-given-four-game-suspension-will-appeal-punishment-20160609-story.html

So I think Manny's a great player, but I've pretty much convinced myself at this point that we have to trade him during the offseason:

1. I don't think he's re-signing here. I don't think he hates it here, but I think he wants brighter lights and more importantly more money than the O's will be willing to spend.

2. We could get a king's ransom for him at this point and give the organization a badly needed infusion of young talent.

3. The attitude really worries me. So far it's remained somewhat in check - but you give him a huge contract and he almost seems certain to me to start to be a clubhouse issue.

The #1 reason above really is the most important - if the O's think he's going to require something beyond what they want to pay, they have to consider making a move soon (and by soon, I mean this offseason).

Good Article by Melewski and talks with Coolbaugh

?You watch guys that come up that are extremely talented,? Coolbaugh said. ?Whether it is an injury or they hit adversity at some point. Last year with Manny having that breakthrough season, being healthy all year and proving he?s a 30-homer guy. That sets that confidence to say, ?Hey, I was able to do this and now I can take it to another level.? He is just playing with a lot of confidence this year, He knows there will be some bad days, but there are a lot more good days.?

You know, I just don't see any evidence at all that Manny wants brighter lights or has any kind of attitude problem that would lead to a clubhouse issue.
