If we cannot obtain Altuve from Houston to be our 2B and leadoff hitter we should strongly consider dealing for Dee Gordon of the Dodgers. Tremendous speed and perfect leadoff hitter for the Orioles to obtain. See the mlb trade rumors story today and viewed below.

Would anyone do Norris for Dee Gordon?

Everyone in the entire world would do Norris for Gordon except the Dodgers. I'd drive him to LA myself. The conversation, unfortunately for us, starts with Gausman and he alone might not even be enough. Middle Infielders don't grow on trees, much less ones with a so-called leadoff profile. The A's just gave up a better pitcher than Norrisand got back a far inferior player to Gordon.

Grodon OBP is awful.

Awful? Define awful. .326 in 2014 would be mid pack of the regulars last year for the O's. Granted the O's are not an OBP exemplary team by any stretch, but that definitely sounds like an improvement. Even his .314 career OBP would be a help with that speed.

Having said all that, I would still prefer Schoop.

So Bundy would have probably landed us Gordon. I know he has his flaws, but his young, still has upside and, man oh man that speed. It sure would have looked good penciling him at 2b. Is this a trade you would have made?

What good is that speed. I mean. Really. Is it important? A potential top of the rotation pitcher is.

      If Coby Mayo Can Play Average ML 3B Defense

      By accinfo · Posted

      The point I was trying to make is I don’t believe anyone here can say with any certainty that Mayo would have more immediate success than Holliday did based on watching him a few games in AAA.  Yes he has had more success in AAA with a much longer track record offensively.  When they decided to bring Holliday up I am guessing they thought overall offensively and defensively he was more ready to help.  There will be more outcry here when Austin Hayes gets back and gets plenty of starts.  As long as they keep winning I just can’t argue much with their roster decisions.

      D. R. is our owner now and I'm enjoying the first chapter. Quite a different novel. Who knows what the next chapters will be? My read will continue with the hope he always allows the professionals to run the organization. I'm betting he will allow for a more competative payroll. It will disappoint me if he doesn't. How that translates into extensions and/or free agents - we can only wish and hope. There are too many variables in that market for guarentees. But to be blunt, I will not judge D.R. solely on money spent because how the organization is run is more important to me.

      We have the advantage at SS, I think. Last 7 days Gunnar is crushing it to a .537 OPS and Abrams a paltry .530 OPS.

      Bowden trade proposal: Kjerstad to CLE for two bullpen pieces

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      We're not going to have room for all of these guys.  We're just not.  These wet dream posts of lineups 1-9 with all homegrown talent are exactly that.   Second, you're acting like just because he's a top 100 prospect doesn't mean there's a chance that he won't make it.  I'll tip my cap to Elias and his crew, they've done a masterful job of developing talent, I can understand why people are so excited about all of our prospects but if we're going to have to trade one, I'm going to go with the one that has a lot of swing and miss in his game and isn't pegged as a great defender at either corner outfield spot.  He's also already 25 years old, barely has played at all in the majors....and some of that's not his fault, but it still is what it is. With this franchise's ability to scout, draft and develop, I am not at all worried about trading Heston Kjerstad for bullpen help in a day and age where elite bullpens are game changers.  We're going to need a stout bullpen if/when we make it to the playoffs.  It's the one spot of this team I think that we should all be able to agree that needs an upgrade. You're also neglecting to understand the fact that those relievers are under team control for awhile and have options which means there's more value to the Cleveland relievers that you're so quick to dismiss.  In your little scenario where you're talking about switching places and trading our middling relievers for someone like Kjerstad, you're acting like we'd be trying to trade Baumann and Suarez which is just intentionally obtuse on your part, you should be ashamed.  And with how Elias and his team have developed pitching and used analytics and pitch mixing,  I'm not too worried about the performance of either one coming back.  If we were the 28th ranked minor league system and Kjerstad was our only guy we had to dream on, sure, I'd agree with you.  But it's not like Dylan Beavers isn't killing it in AA, he's 2 years younger and can play a corner outfield spot in Camden Yards.   Blargh, blargh, blargh #2 overall pick blarg, blargh, blargh

      Szymborski: The Orioles Are Running Out of Lineup Spots

      By NCRaven · Posted

      I'm a Mountcastle fan, but I've been advocating for a move to 1B by Basallo for months, so I'd love that lineup.  Having said that, I still have doubts about Mayo's defense at 3rd, or 1st for that matter.

      I would hope it was a humbling experience for him. Which means some adjustments are required.
