I get the sense that Miller just wants the biggest deal.

The biggest deal. And for him and what he is as a tool, that won't be the Astros. They may be fools but they can;t be that type of fool. Andrew may not care where he goes, but how he is used and the leverage at the end of the season is the only way the enormous money he will be paid can be justified.

The Astros have been linked to Hanley Ramirez too. If Verducci is right about their willingness to spend, they can rebuild quick.

Dallas Kuechel

Collin McHugh

Jose Altulve

George Springer

Chris Carter

Jason Castro

There are pieces in place and a lot more players 26 and under who can develop. I agree, a few well placed free agents and Houston makes some noise. Took 'em long enough but they need to be kept an eye on. Miller would be a good pickup for them.

Then we notice that they play with Oakland, Texas (due for a bounce back after injury), Angels and Seattle, and they probably aren't going to be challenging for a playoff spot for a couple of years.

The days of the Astros losing 100 may well be over. Other than that? Same.

I really would love for DD to take a chance on Tomas. I think this guy is bound to be a premier hitter and he's only 24 years old. Judging from his videos he looks like a pretty solid athlete as well despite weighing ~230 lbs.

It's more likely that the Orioles will focus on much younger, raw talent that may be under the radar with some upside potential. Think Jomar Reyes. We're simply not going to get into a bidding war. It's not our model.

      Holliday optioned, McKenna recalled

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      Didn't see today's game in it's entirety but I will say this.  I feel 100% more confident with Mateo playing second and turning  a DP rather than JH right now.  JH will be fine there.  In time.   But even forgetting his hitting, D wise he just isn't there yet.   And yes I know the metrics say he is fine.  But to me, using the eye test, he looked very shaky fielding and throwing,

      I like Kevin.  He is constantly improving.  My only beef is that he doesn't seem to understand that a foul ball isn't always out of play.   A ball can be hit foul, but still be in the field of play.

      2024 NFL Draft Discussion

      By Hallas · Posted

      My preferred day 3 WR would have been Troy Franklin, but he apparently had a bad combine on positional drills (which might have been because he had the flu.)  And he got picked by Denver pretty early.   Devontez Walker is kind of intriguing.  He's 6'2", barely.   A bit on the skinny side but ran in the mid-4.3s.  His route tree is pretty limited, mostly short quickouts/slants and go/post routes. But he's really good at the deep routes.  Sort of a discount DK.  He's reported to have good hands and good deep ball tracking ability as well.  We have to see how that translates in the pro game.

      Adley Rutschman 2024

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Adley looks way more energized and McCann is veteran catcher who is good defensively and handles the pitchers well.  Doesn't really make sense to wear Adley out when the O's are using him at the top of the lineup.

      Just seems like a more controlled swing from the right side, shorter, flatter.

      Orioles #30 Prospect Brandon Young - RHP

      By Frobby · Posted

      He was signed in the Covid year when they only had a 5 round draft, which is why he was undrafted.  Was showing promise bur tore his UCL in 2022.  Pitched a little last year, this is his first full year back.  Nice to see the good outing.

      Orioles #30 Prospect Brandon Young - RHP

      By now · Posted

      What's up with Brandon Young? Out of nowhere (#30 prospect above... undrafted?) he goes 3 IP with 0 hits or walks, and 7 Ks, throwing an otherworldly 26 of 31 pitches for strikes, in Bowie's game today.
