Well, Lough does appear to be an elite defender and a good base runner, but yeah, we're not in the National League where that kind of thing is more of a luxury.

I'd say the points about Remold's ability to stay healthy are pretty fair at this point.

Can't forget about the era in which they're now playing, though. What with MLB's attempts to develop extra protection for pitchers, insisting that base coaches wear helmets, etc., the next generation of baseball uniforms could all-but-guarantee Nolan's ability to stay healthy and on the field.

Or above it.

But no, seriously, the dude's an angry sneeze away from deatomizing his internal organs.

I don't get the hand wringing over the prospect of the loss of Reimold. Nice enough kid I guess, showed some promise when not on the DL. People can't wait to be rid of Nick who has done much more for the club and the community for much longer.

Nick makes 15 times what Nolan makes.

Devil's Advocate: Markakis makes 15 times as much as Reimold.

EDIT: dangit, corn.

He is kinda like that friend you know if you lend them money your never gonna see it again but yet somehow they make you feel compelled to do so.

Long as you go into it knowing your the money you lend is pretty much gone ...all is good. We are a point now though were we cannot afford those kind of risks IMO.

I clicked the link in that Indians_Fans tweet and it tried to get me to download some file viewer, and when I skipped that and got to the article, it was a broken link. I think it was supposed to be linking to this:

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/07/orioles-to-designate-nolan-reimold-for-assignment.html

And that doesn't mention the Indians. I think it's a bs twitter account (the Indians Fans one). That said, this tweet is real:

It’s likely no coincidence that the club placed Remold, who was on the 60-day disabled list and is returning from his second neck surgery, on waivers over the holiday weekend. Clubs have 48 hours to place a claim on him before he clears at 1 p.m. Sunday.

He probably clears waivers. I'm sure they weren't looking for much back.

I hope so. The best chance of this happening is to do exactly what the front office did- 4th of July weekend and especially, before the AS Break. I know the team doesn't need another right handed bat, but a healthy Reimold can help this team. At least it gives the O's more cards in their hand they can play whenever they make a trade.

That's possible but I can't believe any GM ever really leaves the job behind. Even if home for a holiday weekend they're still in touch. I think Nolan is gone for sure.

e: As well as he has been hitting, there are probably teams waiting for him to be put on waivers. Watching, waiting.

      I have to think something is going on behind the scenes. They look like they have just quit. Hyperbole, I know, but I wonder if there is anxiety over new ownership wanting their own people in the FO? Before you all tear me apart, IT’S JUST AN OBSERVATION!

      Some don’t like this quote from Hyde but this kind of goes back to what the hitting coaches are saying. The coaches (if we are to believe them) are preparing these guys but once they get in the box, things are changing. This is all mental with these guys. It is time for them to relax and start having fun again. They need a players only team meeting and get themselves loosened up.

      I doubt it is normal, though I’m sure that well more than half the pitchers who pitch for any particular team were not drafted by that team.   Teams use so many pitchers these days, and there are so many pitchers who cycle around the league off the waiver wire.

      Couple of things about what Mike said: 1).   Grayson will not start during the regular season.    Time has run out to build him up.   That means Burnes, Eflin. Suarez, Kremer and Povich the rest of the way if they can stay healthy.   Maybe Grayson as an opener or a reliever in the playoffs. Coulombe  as early as Friday.  I am guess either Smith or Kimbrel go. Westy and  Urias  on rehab  in the next few days.   Getting these guys back could be a  big mental boost for the team.  What level of performance they will be able to produce coming off a layoff is another things.      I would think Mayo and Holliday are optioned. Mountcastle is swinging but his wrist is still sore.   Where that goes in anyones guess.   If he comes back Jimenez will not be needed. 2).  When Mike says this has been a winning team for that last two years and he believes they can get back to that,  to me he is not just talking about the team.     He is talking about himself.    This is the first time Mike has experienced things not going the way he planned to this degree.    Quite frankly his looks a little shell shocked.    The pitching having troubles with injuries is reality to him.  Pitchers get hurt.    But his offense going from 5 runs per game in the first half  to almost zero is shocking to him.   He did not see that coming.  Adley, and O'Hearn were supposed to step up when needed.   Instead they took a step back.  None of Holliday, Mayo, or Kjerstad being able to help in the 2nd half was not the way this was planned.    Here is hoping the Westy, Urias and Kjerstad can help real soon.

      This board is smart enough to realize that the grass isn't always greener. The only way I see Hyde on the hot seat is if we miss the playoffs completely, which still feels very unlikely. Even then, I doubt he'd be fired during the offseason, but maybe. But then what? I don't think you give Buck Britton a shot at this roster. He's doing his thing and doing it well at AAA helping to develop guys. Could bring back Buck Showalter or Joe Girrardi, those sound like fun names. Or better yet, I bet everyone here with a torch and a pitchfork has their own little crystal ball with a short list of candidates ready to catch lightning in a bottle.

      The 4-run deficit was surmountable if we had more than one player who can hit the damn ball.   Kimbrel giving up six runs in the 9th may turn out to be a blessing.
