Roch mentioned the other day there was interest in him. I looked him up then and thought he might be worth giving a major league contract to. If he as turned a corner offensively the past two seasons like his statistics indicate, then he looks like a potential major leaguer. That's the key. However, even if he is just a rangy shortstop with the ability to also play second base, that has its value has a depth move. I wouldn't label him as "just another defensive wiz" however. He's displayed good power the last two seasons. He's also not too old either.

Hope they can get it done.

DD likes shortstops. Didn't he have Schoop play there even though his most likely position was 2B? I think that he feels that SS's are the most athletic of all the positions and they have the flexibilty to all positions at a pretty decent level. He must have loved Bert Campeneris (spelling???).

Thankfully you're not running things. Flaherty would still be better than Lombardozzi even if he couldn't play SS and 3rd base (which he can).

Lambardozzi had all the shots I have ever needed to see. He was here in Harrisburg in Milb and he could not defend in the minors either.

      Clubhouse issues?

      The problem with that last statement is that this indeed is a business. And guys want to get paid and be fairly compensated. They all recognize that they have a short window to make life changing money.

      Are we done?

      I haven’t looked at his innings closely but I could see McDermott being tried as a reliever late in the season.

      McDermott is probably not there to preserve his image as a starter to potential trade partners, and if he is still here on July 31st, I'd expect to see him in our pen shortly. I do still want another solid RP, also preferably a lefty, and Sam Moll would fit the bill perfectly without breaking the bank.

      Organizational Turmoil?

      By jdwilde1 · Posted

      I agree, with the caveat that Santander is a different animal than Hays and Mullins.  Santander plays every day and is having a career year going into FA.  It’s really the situation that every player wants. Meanwhile, Hays and Mullins are platooning after being every day players, and are having poor seasons.     I am sure Hays thought he had earned the right to play through his rough start, but it always doesn’t work out that way.    The thing I really want to see is what the O’s off-season looks like with Rubenstein’s ownership compared to JA.

      Grade the Hays for Dominguez/Pache trade

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      It’s a fair trade.  We needed another late inning reliever and Pache helps with late inning defense.     Pache is an abysmal hitter though so hopefully he doesn’t get too many starts or late at bats.

      Organizational Turmoil?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      It feels like a stretch to me that players being in Norfolk is hurting the vibes on the Major League team.  If those players come up, they will take jobs or playing time from current players.   Obviously, if there is a perception that we’re playing service time games instead of fielding our best players, then that could hurt morale.  However, I’m skeptical that current players are outraged that Mountcastle/O’Hearn/Westburg are playing over Mayo right now in the same way that some fans may be. Goon references veteran players in contract years - I’m pretty sure that’s only Santander and Burnes who are not feeling any competition from young players and both made the all-star team. With regard to long term extensions, it seems a bit silly to say young players want long term extensions but are being blocked by their agents and this is hurting morale. Boras has never inked an extension for a player with less than two years service time like Gunnar or Westy. Adley and his GF are from the Pacific Northwest- maybe they want to eventually be closer to home.  GRod, Cowser, and Kjerstad may be viewed as more risky candidates for an extension by Elias.  It’s not clear to me that Goon’s column represents any actual reporting as opposed to pure speculation.
