And so many people wanted to make Chris Davis the next Ryan Howard.

Only Scott Boras does. PERIOD.

Most people know that one year could be an outlier. You have to look at it both ways, you could gamble and say that was a one year fluke and just pay out the arb years OR pay that man his money.

There were a lot of people, this time last year, that wanted to give Davis at least 6/150.

Never said anything about a big splash. I would like to have gotten Cespedes for Norris, which I think was doable considering Detroit gave up Porcello and got Cespedes and two other players. Kemp was pricey, but if I could get the Dodgers to bite on a trade that didn't involve Bundy/Gausman/Harvey, I would have done that.
I'd rather have Porcello than Norris and BOS would be asking for more if they traded within the division. Not such an easy deal at all.

Especially when people get neg repped for their opinion, and some can call people names and make personal insults and nothing ever said.

Please do not complain about moderation. Things get said. Folks go away. The moderation here does have it's work cut out for it. Without Paul and TonyS and Snutchy as well as some of the emeritus folk, This place would not be the great venue that it is. No one knows what is said or done within the moderation of this site.

      Sorry to hear this--wishing you a sound recovery, in time for the O's run to the Series! (That would speed up the healing!)

      Santander is a good case for the Rule V draft. That's unfortunately the same system that's going to make his next contract potentially look bad. If only he were a couple of years younger. It's hard to commit 25+M to a player at 30+. He's going to be missed in Baltimore, on the field and by the fans, but he's someone that they're going to have to let move on.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By sevastras · Posted

      While I agree and find your comment funny, maybe just say something along the line of”Don’t give up on this team” or “Quite being Debbie downers” instead of assuming they are projecting the own misery in their lives. People might take it better if it doesn’t feel like a personal attack. Either way, that win felt good and I HOPE this is finally the turning point going into the playoffs soon.

      I've made it clear that if they don't sign Santa and Burnes I'm ok with it as long as the money is allocated to other players they feel that fits their profile better .You know you have people on here like SG who only hears what he wants to hear. I need to learn to ignore that guy.

      I also think Santander will age better than Trumbo, despite my repeated comparisons of the two players. But I don't know that he will age better than Trumbo and all of the other one dimensional sluggers who were enjoying the retired millionaire sports star lifestyle by their mid-30s, and I don't want the Orioles to be on the hook when the world finds out in 2 or 3 years. Re-signing Santander to a 4 year, $80 million dollar deal is something the DD/PA regime would have done. Hopefully the ME/DR regime is smarter than that (and I think they are). 22nd percentile is really bad, man. And it's unlikely to improve in his 30s.
