If Davis or Wieters are injured or underperform in 2015, do you think that makes it more or less likely that the O's re-sign them for 2016 and beyond?

I'm personally not sure about this one. On the one hand, I could still see a rich team like the Yanks or the Dodgers overpaying for either of them just because. But on the other hand, maybe not, and maybe their prices come down enough for the O's to re-sign them -- assuming they're willing to believe that they would improve in 2016.

Let me emphasize that I am not wishing for this to happen. Even if it means we lose both, I'd much rather see them have a healthy and productive 2015. Because if that happens, I believe it's overwhelmingly probable that the O's make the playoffs. Frankly unless the pitching completely implodes, I am hard-pressed to see the O's missing the playoffs if Davis and Wieters have good years.

I suspect that how they perform will determine only whether or not the O's make a qualifying offer. I don't expect either player to be back next season, though I think it makes sense for the O's and Wieters to negotiate a one-year extension now.

How does that make sense for Wieters?

In case he's not able to rack up many innings behind the plate this season, it would give him and opportunity to prove he's back while working with a staff he knows. Otherwise, he might have to take a 1-year deal with another team.

Matt will get a multi year deal with a team that over pays his production, no matter if he plays a healthy inning this season.

I hope they perform well. If not I suspect it's going to be a tough season. If they perform well I feel we will have a very good season. My guess though is if they perform well they will become overpaid and are far less likely to return. Even if they do not perform at a level that is high someone could still overpay and we could still lose them. I would rather see them perform extremely well and take the risk.

Their performance doesn't affect our chances at all, IMO. Which are near 0%.

If they perform or over perform we can't afford them.

If they underperform DD won't pay 10+ million on them.

I hate to be negative but NEITHER will be here next year. (unless they accept the QO)

      More Impressive Start to their Career? Machado or Henderson?

      By Frobby · Posted

      Hard to say hiw Manny would have been as a SS if he’d played it right from the start in the majors.  Due to Hardy’s presence, he essentially played 3B for 5.3 seasons before ever getting a shot as full time SS.   By that time he’d lost some speed and range and was rusty at the ins and outs of SS. If 2012-14 Hardy was on this team, Gunnar would be at 3B, watching Hardy win his three Gold Gloves.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Mooreisbetter27 · Posted

      The Orioles are not going to re-sign Burnes and they prob shouldn't based on what he's going to ask for. Answer is Gunnar and it's not even really close.  Give the man whatever he wants and keep him indefinitely.

      Gunnar. He will add an All Star nod this year and is on an MVP pace. Higher WAR in fewer PA.

      Off-season Qualifying Offer Question

      By IPlayGM · Posted

      Still a lot of things to shake out this year that IMO affects this decision.   1. Is Silent J the heir apparent to RF? 2. Is Beavers taking the next step and showing as a viable starting OF? 3. Is Fabian taking the next step to be a legit 4th OF who can play all 3 positions?   I will be very surprised if Taters is on the team next year. Honestly I think that if he is it will be due to failure of the young guys to show out. Good thing for us is we have enough of them that I don’t think that will happen.

      He said after the game that he has five pitches, and if any three of them are working on a given night, he can mix them up enough to get batters out.

      He’s had quite the turnaround vs. LHP on this road trip.  Hopefully it continues all year!

      Gunnar's definitely looking like the MVP of the Orioles and looks like priority #1 to me to get an extension. Burnes age works against him, because the O's maybe don't want to go longer than 5-6 years at most, but I could be wrong there. The Witt extension kind of set the parameters of what Gunnar will probably want at minimum. 2025 25 Kansas City Royals $8,111,111     2026 26 Kansas City Royals $14,111,111     2027 27 Kansas City Royals $20,111,111     2028 28 Kansas City Royals $31,111,111     2029 29 Kansas City Royals $36,111,111     2030 30 Kansas City Royals $36,111,111     2031 31 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2032 32 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2033 33 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2034 34 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2035 35 Kansas City Royals *$33,000,000   $33M Team Option 2036 36 Kansas City Royals *$28,000,000   $28M Team Option 2037 37 Kansas City Royals *$28,000,000   $28M Team
