I hope not. I don't think he'll be much better than last season, and he doesn't give enough innings. I'd rather make room for Bundy and Harvey.

In 2016 the O's will have Gausman, Tillman, Gonzo and Bundy. If they are able to trade Jimenez.

A three year contract for Norris would be 2015-2017. If Harvey spends 2015 in Frederick, 2016 in Bowie and 2017 in Norfolk. He will be ready in 2018 after Norris contract is over.

With Dan's perception of quality at the AA level you might see him earlier than that.

None of them

Honestly, I agree with this. The top 4 guys will be out of our price range most likely... O'day maybe, unless he wants to get a 3/20 mil contract somewhere, then he's gone. DeAza might be brought back but they could just go cheaper. Tommy Hunter may be brought back. Pearce, who knows at this point what kind of deal he might require.

So I think its possible we might bring back some of the lower tier guys at one year contracts or something, but I don't see any long extensions being given out.

My first thought is none. But don't be surprised if Weiters signs someway. DD and Buck have done a good job locking up the cornerstone players in Hardy and Jones. If we're ever going to spend/overpay, it could be for a GG catcher with plus offense. But I fully expect DD to play the comp pick game. Let's graduate some guys this year and replenish the overall system with a bunch of picks

Ideally? about 500K.

If you want to use the most inflated market available? About $12 million.

Inflated or not, it's what the market will bear. And let's be serious, the only way a team is paying even a league average pitcher $500k is if that pitcher is under control. It's certainly not by choice.

Now, is Norris worth $12 million to us over, say three years? Maybe so. Maybe this determines that or maybe he and his agent determine he's worth more on the open market.

January is a month for salary negotiations. The O's have 10 players that will be free agents after the 2015 season if they are not extended. Dan Duquette will be working with agents to avoid arbitration hearings and to possibly extend certain players.

Which of these 11 potential free agent players will Dan extend?:

Chris Davis

Matt Wieters

Wei-Yin Chen

Bud Norris

Darren O'Day

Alejandro De Aza

Tommy Hunter

Steve Pearce

Delmon Young

Wesley Wright

Oops, forgot one:

Ryan Webb

Pearce and maybe De Aza

And you acquire controllable players by drafting them. And you sometimes get extra draft picks by letting average players walk.

It's certainly a choice to look to alternative markets to build a team. Rule IV and V drafts, trades and the international market are generally more efficient than free agency.

      She called Rutschman "Santander" in literally the first inning.

      So far, only 3 2nd rounders and 3 3rd rounders from that draft have made the majors, and only three of those have positive WAR.   But, it's still early and I'm sure that several others will make the majors eventually.   I don't follow other team's prospects closely enough to guess who from that group has a good shot at the majors.  I'd certainly say that Rhodes is a long shot, but I guess it wouldn't shock me if he developed enough to get a cup of coffee some day.  He does have some pop and pretty good plate discipline. Sorry for the digression.   Back to Povich, among pitchers with at least 5 starts, Povich leads the IL in ERA, is 3rd in WHIP, and is 3rd in K/9.  He's also 5th in innings pitched.

      Hmm.  I'm going to just disagree and walk away from this one.  I've said enough negative things about Melanie in other threads.  I wish she was better because I think its really cool that female PBP announcers are becoming a little more common.  But they still need to be good at their job.  I hope at some point we hear a good one, but I haven't yet (the A's lady is awful too, sadly).

      I don't really get hating on the streak.  Its something that hasn't been done to this level in a long time; the rarity of it makes it noteworthy, if nothing else.  I don't need people talking about the streak to remind of the playoff streak - not like I'm going to forget that happened.  But the regular season streak means that we haven't had a losing streak longer than - 4 games in two years.  I kind of wish the streak was spoken about in those terms - longest losing streak only 4 games - rather than in terms of being swept.  Because avoiding even a 5-6 game losing streak for two years is something worth noting, IMO, and that's basically what not being swept means. Looking back at the schedule; they lost 6 in a row from 5/13-5/18/22.  That includes the three game sweep in Detroit that is the last time they were swept, then they lost the first three games of a four game series vs. the Yankees.  Since then, their longest losing streak is just 4, three different times - 6/29-7/2/22 (which was immediately followed by a 10-game winning streak), 6/30-7/2/23, and 9/12-9/15/23. They also had three 3-game losing streaks - vs Boston 8/27-29 (4 game series),  5/6-5/8/23, and 9/20-9/22/23 (both split across two series)- ironically, that is one 4 game streak and one 3-game streak within two weeks of each other, while we were trying to clinch the division last year. So, in 2 years, that's 3 streaks of 4 games, and 3 streaks of 3 games. I'm not going to do this for every team as a comparison, but that does seem pretty good.  Longest being 4, and only 6 total in two years of 3 or 4, seems noteworthy.  At the very least, the 'streak' of sweepless series being upheld means no losing streaks of 5+ games, and that to me is why the streak does hold some meaning, despite the playoff sweep.

      Up to this point, it’s fair to say I have not been a fan of Melanie Newman in the booth, except for some between-inning coverage where I found her passable. So far I found her somewhere between distracting and exhausting, and not particularly skilled at calling the action on the field. So I was somewhat dismayed to find that she was calling last night’s game with Ben. But to be fair, I thought she did quite a good job overall. It wasn’t perfect, but she seemed much more in control and even managed a bit of rapport with Ben over a few topics. To the point where I might prefer to hear her again over someone like Scott Garceau or maybe Geoff Arnold. That might not sound particularly impressive, low-hanging fruit and all, but considering how irritating I found her until now, I thought it was a dramatic improvement.

      And didn't he also do something with his fingers that was unusual?   Like twiddling them constantly while awaiting the pitch instead of just gripping the bat steadily with them?

      There literally would be no difficulty in using any other level probability per game, but the reason I've stayed with coin flips is that there are a huge number of assumptions (starting with the notion that the probability should be level) that need to be explained if I were to use a different p(individual win).  That doesn't work for a tweet or a post that I don't want to go on for a long time to explain the assumptions, but "coin flip" does, because the assumptions are commonly understood. The fact that the other teams still ahead of the Orioles did it with substantially longer average series length makes them less impressive than what the O's have done and those teams also played .650-.700 baseball over the period of the streaks which is a result of a significant difference in top-to-bottom parity in the leagues.  Both facts are too much to explain each time, but not too difficult to calculate on a coin flip basis. For example, the previous AL record holders, the 1922-24 Yankees, using the coin-flip basis had approximately a 1 in 8,819 chance chance of going unswept in their 83 consecutive series. But for folks who want to say "coin flip is not accurate", I'll produce this goalposting once for "levelized win probability" through the 103 series lengths the Orioles have played (1922-24 Yankees 83 series lengths in parenthesis): .600: 1 in 952 (1 in 90) .650: 1 in 102 (1 in 20) .700: 1 in 19 (1 in 7) 1.000: 1 in 1
