Well, you are obviously a lot wealthier than I am.

It's not about wealth to me. I grew up watching Cal and then Brady. They showed loyalty to the team and that was a major impact on me. That's who I am, I value loyalty just as much as the O's org does or anyone of us on this forum does. I would never ask a team to pay me $160 mil for 6 years. At most I'd ask for league minimum each year and bonuses. If fact, if the O's drafted me in 2003 as a College player. I would told them, you can sign me for 10y, $20m and I would have been happy, they would have been happy and so would have you.

In the end I value loyalty and will be loyal til the day I die to the team 1) I grew up with and 2) the only team in the region.. in Haren's case He's a LA boy/Cal kid.

Terrible deal by the Red Sox! I'm loving their offseason so far.

Max to Nats, Zimmerman traded for prospects and Ian Desmond to Seattle! Wow! Speculation from MLB network anchors.

We are talking Jordan Zimmermann, not Ryan Zimmerman, right? Where to? Is he being packaged with Desmond? This doesn't surprise me.

Jordan, just all the talking heads reciting rumors they are hearing. Zimmerman's destination not discussed, probably Boston.

I'd love for Boston to give up prospects for one year of JZ.

FYI, Jordan has two Ns in his last name, Ryan has one.

Friedman must feel like a kid in a candy store that has gold bars in his pockets.

      AL playoff picture

      By Too Tall · Posted

      At this stage, I don't care how we get in - just get in. As been said on here a zillion times, the playoffs are a crap shoot. As bad as it seems right now - WHY NOT?

      Oh, I forgot Mountcastle.  He had a 2.2 bWAR season going (1.4 oWAR). And he's effectively been replaced with O'Hearn who is a 1.3 bWAR player (which has been dropping) of which he has a -1.4 dWAR and a 1.8 oWAR. So there's a net negative there, too, going from O'Hearn part time to him FT and losing Mounty's bat. Injuries are a part of any given team, but I don't think it's unfair to say this team would be at 88-89 wins with even half of those guys back.

      While agree that taking this year's Santander out of the offense would hurt. This is the only year that he has performed at this level. He's OPS is 37 points higher this year, than his avg. His OBP stinks and he goes cold for fairly long periods. He's had a couple of heaters that have padded his OPS. His career OPS+ is 114 and that is buoyed by this years 132. I am not saying he sucks or is even at a replacement level player. But he is a pretty flawed player who is not likely to repeat this year which has been pretty flawed as well. I like Santander and I think he provides valuable leadership. I just don't see him having the value that it will take to keep him. I also don't think he is the type of player that ages well.

      You really should have to finish in first place to make the playoffs. If the divisions were large from back in the day then I could understand having 2nd place teams make it. It was such an accomplishment back then. We can all agree 3rd place teams making it is a joke.

      Agree 100%. I had a different thread chatting about The New Guys.  If we look at just the guys that are getting playing time because of injuries/trades/opportunities that are still playing on this team: Austin Slater: 0.4 (0.2 oWAR, 0.1 dWAR) Livan Soto: 0.3 (0.2, 0.1) Emmanuel Rivera: 0.1 (0.4, -0.3) Eloy Jimenez: -0.2 (-0.2, -0.2) Jackson Holliday: -0.3 (-0.1, 0) Coby Mayo: -0.7 (-0.5, -0.2) If we just go off of their oWAR, that's a combined 0.  Zero. Ramon Urias had a 1.6 oWAR this year. Jordan Westburg a 3.4 oWAR. Even Jorge Mateo had a 0.8 oWAR. Those 3 guys would be getting regular to semi-regular playing time. Eloy/Holliday/Mayo wouldn't play and their near -1.0 oWAR would be replaced with guys that had a combined 6 oWAR anywhere from months (Westy, Mateo) to weeks ago (Ramon).

      I'm impressed this team has 84 wins

      By Greenpastures23 · Posted

      You would think it would be closer to 74 with the way they are playing
