It's nice the O's keep taking care Nolan. Over 2 million in the last two years. He is the same age as Markakis. He should not be taking any AB's away from anyone at AAA or AA IMO. I believe he continues to be a Brady project and somehow manages a loyal following with one good year in a decade in the organization. When he did play most did not like his D, especially his routes to fly balls. Good luck Nolan, but I don't see it.

I hope Nolan stays healthy, tears it up in ST, comes north with the team, and finally puts together the kind of great year fans have been hoping for since he broke in with the Orioles in 2009. I hope I'm not asking too much.

Lol, no only the same thing people have been asking year after year for six years running.

I need a little help with the math here.

Nolan made $1,025,000 last season, July 6th the Jays claimed him and took over paying him.

This season he signed a minor league deal, I have not seen terms disclosed but I am sure he won't be making much if he doesn't make the team.

Where exactly are you getting over two million?

Are you including 2013 when he made a million?

That still doesn't equal an amount in excess of 2 million over a two year period.

If he stays healthy I expect a contributor to the big league team. Admittedly that is unlikely as he is probably way down the depth chart especially with guys like Young and Pearce on board but I'm biased. He hit a walk off homer at a game i was at and he signed my lawn gnome.

I have to ask... why in the world did you have a lawn gnome at a game?

    • You mean a AAAA starter.  Sometimes I think he thinks he’s smarter than everybody else, so he does things that no one else would do just to prove a point. I don’t actually think he wants to spend money on free agents. I think he likes the idea of trying to be the smartest man in the room. I think his attitude is going to change somewhat next off-season, After his many blunders at the trade deadline. 
    • I don’t think this is true. He’s had a lot of games as you described and there haven’t been these ten post reactions to said games. He’s going to hit. Would it be nice if he was producing this year like the other rookie Jacksons? Of course but no one (that I’ve seen) on this board is rooting against him or suggesting that he won’t be a high caliber major league hitter. His defense is another thing but he’s going to figure it out at the plate at the MLB level. You’re right though - his nice game should have garnered more attention, especially with the way the year has largely gone for him. I’m not sure what role he has in the postseason other than maybe as a pinch runner. Right now I don’t think I’m putting him ahead of any of the lefty bats on the roster. I guess he’s the only other ‘SS’ they have on the big club so he’s surely going to fill a spot but I can’t think that he plays ahead of anyone, including Rivera right now. It will be interesting to see how Hyde and Co. deploy Holliday come Tuesday. 
    • Per Roch, Selby is the call up today, with Davidson presumably DFA.   Guessing today’s pitching looks like:  - Suarez (2-3 IP)  - Webb (1 IP)  - Soto (1 IP)  - Dominguez (1 IP)  - Coulombe (1 IP)  - Selby (2 IP) Bowman fills in gaps as needed.
    • Holliday and Henderson is going to be an elite top 2 in the lineup.
    • He’s also replaced the leg kick with a toe tap. At least with two strikes I noticed. 
    • Last year, of 8 WC teams: - 5 went with 12 pitchers - 2 went with 11 pitchers - 1 went with 13 pitchers I expect the Orioles to go with 12 pitchers. Given how Detroit mixes and matches pitching, we need to have enough platoon options.   I do think there is value in having more pitchers, even if it’s just an extra guy for mop up duty that saves pen in blowout game 2 so we aren’t running on fumes in game 3. However, I think 14 position players and 12 pitchers is the right balance for the wild card series.
    • I don't think this is true.  He's struck out 3 times a few times and gone 0-4 several times and 10 posts haven't been made. I hope he has a nice view from the bench during the playoff series and gets an at bat here or there if we're up big or getting blown out.  I'd like to see him put in a lot of work this offseason and start 2025 on fire.
