Much easier to make a comment like this using hindsight (actual results) than to actually answer the question and take a future-looking position.

In any event, I wasn't asking a general question. I wanted to know what the OP would consider an "overpay" for Nick Markakis, since he said Dan would "overpay" him now after the Cruz signing.

Oh I know, that's what I was trying to get at by "actually answer the question."

Also I'm sure there is some contingent that will be angry no matter what. If we "overpay" it will be anger that we devoted so much money to markakis. If we get a deal, it will be anger that the cheap orioles let Cruz walk so they could sign a cheaper player.

Well, I will answer my own question. I'd consider 4/$48 mm an overpay. 4/$44 mm, a slight overpay. 4/$40 mm or lower, a fine contract. (Note to socalbirdfan: we're talking about Nick Markakis here.)

I think 4/44 would be fine. If call 4/50 overpay. So I fall slightly higher on this range. 4/40 I would consider value territory.

A deal like Jimenez got is what I meant. In relation to what he got. Not that Markakis would ever receive that deal. 4/$40mil would be too much. Four years would be too much.

What if Jimenez had pitched like 2013 or 2011 or 2010 or 2009 or 2008?

I know of whom you speak but unlike you I don't think that entitles him to extra years and dollars. If weams is right and they offered him 4/$34 I think that's fair if not a slight overpay.

No, I was just trying to ensure you knew my opinion was about Nick Markakis, not Ubaldo Jimenez. I don't think Nick is entitled to extra years and dollars, either, though in any contract negotiation there is a range of what's fair and reasonable rather than a single figure. I obviously have a higher opinion of Nick's future value than you do, but that is hardly surprising.

Unless he explicitly gives us a home town discount I don't think that 4/$34 is in the ball park. It's not close to any of the bandied about number have been and not in the range of Heyman's 3 man show. Definitely not an overpay considering where the market will eventually settle IMO.

Then we need to let him go. And I like Nick.

      It will be interesting to see how many GM's on the playoff fringe pull a '22 Elias and sell. It isn't hard to challenge for sixth best in a 15-team league.    We're about to play the Giants who seem like they are having a second mediocre year after the magical one, but they and the Marlins are IN with a .519 winning percentage. At 23-30, Stroman and Dansby and Trey's Cubs are just 4.5 games behind the Giants, though granted with half the league between them and 6th. Giolito-Eduardo-Stroman-Bieber I have heard batched as a "Big Four" but one or two of their teams could have a real run.    I expect Elias to do something, but I would be surprised if he paid any pre-deadline higher asks.

      It’s one thing to trade Hernaiz for Irvin who is a fringe MLB starter. But from that suggested list, do you believe that kind of package can land a Stroman? Those are accessory pieces at best. How could that add in value for a Major League, potentially impact starter who has a year and a half left on his contract? Do you believe the Cubs will have no other suitors for Stroman?

      Tyler Wells as a starter

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Well started to get more Ks and miss more bats starting around July last year iirc. Ironically, he had some starts where he did better in those areas but was giving up more runs. Over the long haul though, missing more bats and getting more Ks is huge for him and if that can last while keeping his control, he’s going to be good…assuming he can stay healthy.  He is going to be a guy that you worry about for a while in that regards.

      The Wall won't help him out when the splits say to bat a left handed batter against Tyler's right arm.

      Guardians Series - Test for the Defense

      By Aglets · Posted

      Was at the game yesterday.  Really disappointed with how our infield defense played.   2 errors were officially given out but we had more misplays than that. Of course if you score 0 it doesn't ultimately matter.   But still...........

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      K/9 up to 8.7. That was his weakness last year. If he can miss bats at that rate he is going to be very successful. Zero walks yesterday. I just love watching guys like that pitch. Unfortunately most of the playoff contenders are big HR hitters. Not sure his approach will work well vs Yankees and Jays. Definitely give Tyler one of the home starts and hope the wall helps him out.

      Orioles announce the passing of Mike Young

      By SemperFi · Posted

      He's one of those guys that need to be included when there is a discussion on Orioles with the most pure power.  Not sure of the majors but I remember some 500 ft plus bombs in the minors. https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/mike-young/
