Four Trades for a World Series

That's what's amazing with the people on this board. One person says we should turn off the fair trades button to ban

proposals that are not fair ... You can't evaluate trades player by player.

Yes you can. We do and there is no button.

That's what's amazing with the people on this board. One person says we should turn off the fair trades button to ban

proposals that are not fair because Altuve for Schoop is not fair and another says that Altuve is overrated and we would

be getting the shaft because Bundy is much to much to give for Altuve. The ENTIRE trade is what we need to look at.

We get a lead off hitter who led the league in hits and can steal bases, we get an outfielder who can easily replace the

numbers we had in right field last year and we get a catcher that allows us to trade Wieters (since we are not going to

re-sign him) to get another big bat. When Billy Beane makes a "bad" trade everyone cuts him slack saying watch what

else happens. You can't evaluate trades player by player.

I would suggest that you refrain from calling out all people on "this board."

Yeah, so the fair trade button was a reference to video games...again suggesting that this would be the only place these scenarios would actually happen (they would get rejected in MLB The Show also). Hope that clears it up.

Walker for Moss isn't terrible though.

Some national guys think Walker can be our long term first baseman.

    • Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that. 
    • The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.
    • Looks maybe concussion related. 
    • How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.
    • I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made. 
    • Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
