The 26-year-old Snider (27 next week), formerly one of the Top 10 prospects in all of baseball according to both Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus, never was able to live up to those lofty expectations, but he enjoyed a solid season in 2014. Last year with the Pirates, the former Blue Jays top pick batted .264/.338/.438 with 13 homers in 359 plate appearances.

Snider and the Pirates have already agreed to a $2.1MM salary this season, avoiding arbitration. mlbtraderumors

OK...A name that works and no one has mentioned him. He would be the perfect fit for the Pirates. The money is about the same and he is not on the 40 man roster:

Suk-Min Yoon

He is from South Korea and they just signed a player from South Korea. Yoon is making $1,975.000 this year and 2 plus mil next year.

You don't think they know that he's terrible? Also, if they're trading Snider to save $2.1 million, why would they want a minor league player with a major league salary?

Of the names thrown around this offseason to play RF, from the cold hard stats and no knowledge of him personally, I think Snider MIGHT be the best of the ones. With 400 +- Abs, he COULD hit 18/20 HR. And, he appears NOT to embarrass himself vs lefties. Do not know about his arm.

He's at +12 DRS for his career, with most of that value coming from his arm. UZR/150 has him at an exactly average 0.0 for his career.

Why is everyone so enamored with Snyder? Im just not seeing it.

Formally a top 5 prospect who is only 26, an adequate fielder coming off a decent season. If he puts another year like he did last year he is putting up Markakis like numbers. Don't see why you are negative towards this. beats the heck out of Lough.

Who is out there that would impress you and costs a couple of nobody minor leaguers? It's just a depth move. Add him to the competition.

O's fans sure do love getting their panties in a bunch.

I don't know who's available ,....this guys not worth anything worth giving anything up for.

If they didn't sit on their hands the whole offseason we wouldn't need to hurt for scraps.

You guys crack me up. Snider has never had more than 359 PA in a season, and he's been worth 4.2 rWAR over his entire career. He has some upside, but he's a role player, nothing more.

His minor league numbers look real good. He had a very productive yea last year. He is ove two years younger than Lough

On a side note, while trying to watch any video of Travis Snider on the MLB.com site, I can report that MLB's video streaming continues to be the absolute worst in professional sports and just an absolute embarrassment. After three efforts of different videos failing to load (although each of their different 30 second commercials that you cannot avoid or click out of loaded with prime speed), was still unable to stream anything. It is not my connection, not my server as I am streaming videos from other sites all the time and often at the same time. But MLB.com has consistently the worst fan experience from a video standpoint.

Why are you so content with the dumpster moves? The low expectations from fans around here is very low.

Travis Snyder is not a dumpster. Travis Snyder is better than two of the Yankees four outfielders. Travis is better than three of the five Red Sox outfielders. Travis is pretty good.

      Jorge Mateo 2024

      By OsFanInOhio · Posted

      We didn’t platoon them before because we had holiday or kemp up. Now that we have a true backup cf option and Mateo doesn’t have to be available as emergency cf (and one of them HAS to start every day with westburg and Gunnar the only other infielders), I fully expect to see a platoon anytime westburg and Gunnar are playing.    edit: agreed we tend to not utilize Urias for reverse splits, but that is partly because we have soooooooo many left handed options and no righties. Given the current roster makeup, they kind of have to platoon unless you just close your eyes and pick one each day. This is the first time I’m aware they’ve started Mateo against a righty, so I expect the platoon as long as holida is down (assuming no other infielders are called up or claimed)

      I mean Stowers could have been traded if we had no plans to play him. He has lost his prospect stays now due to his age. It’s not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things because the org has an abundance of young talent. But it definitely sucks for him. Those guys only have so many years to maximize earning potential.

      I hope Means will get stronger as the season goes along, but I can also see “nothing left” as a possibility too. Worst case, he will always have the no-hitter at Seattle.

      Who should start Th May 2nd vs the Yankees? Bradish or Irvin?

      By LGOrioles · Posted

      Bradish is arguably our best starter if he is anything close to what he showed last year. Irvin has been great the last two times out, but I’d take my chances with a (seemingly) healthy Bradish over Irvin any day of the week.  You can argue that Bradish should be eased in, but I don’t think they’re worried about that for a guy that pitched in meaningful games last year and started game 1 of the playoffs. And while NYY are a solid offensive team, it’s not like they’re ATL, LAD, TEX, or us. With a guy like him, if he’s actually ready, he should pitch.

      You said “Hyde has already shown he’s going with the veteran over the rookie”.     Obviously, not always.  Hays is making 6M and has been a key part of this team.  Of course they prefer him in a reserve role to some rookie.

      Likely because there aren't 26 players better than him on the 40-man roster right now. Yes, he's off to a terrible start, but the point still stands.
