Nobody thought B.J. Ryan would be the B.J. Ryan the Jays got. Pitchers, and especially relievers, are fickle.

B.J. Ryan was the greatest lefty reliever since Randy Myers, until he wasn't. Randy Myers was the greatest lefty reliever since Jesse Orosco, until he suddenly wasn't.

The latest report today says the Yankees are the front runner to get Miller over the Dodgers. This would make sense since his wife's family is from North Carolina and they would probably just get on a train to visit. Easier to go there than to California. It wou be great if DD would use some of the Markakis money to sign him. It's amazing how popular Miller was with the fans. Lights out ever ytime he came into a game. Of course he would be popular. Sign him!

It is pretty easy to become popular when you come in and get everyone you face out.

If it were me, I would sign Miller for closer money...And make him the closer. Move Britton into the rotation and deal from my surplus of starters. You never know, Duquette surely has some kind of a plan, doesn't he?

Britton isn't going to be a successful starter with his stuff. He was basically a one pitcher last season. That would get you destroyed as a starter.

He certainly would have to pitch differently as a starter. But there is no doubt in my mind that Britton can be a good starting pitcher with his stuff. Wallace and Chiti would need to work with him for sure, but Britton is a horse with a dominant sinker.

A horse with a bum shoulder.

You think his shoulder can hold up to starting?

I actually think being the closer is harder on him than starting. And remember, Britton really did not fail as a starter. His shoulder failed. Last spring he was obviously healthy and throwing great. And he threw great all year long. I do not think his shoulder is a concern any more. That is just my opinion.

Pitching in relief with one pitch is hard enough. Starting with one pitch seems damn near impossible.

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      John Means 2024

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      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.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      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.
