Reimold could make an impact if healthy

Surely, he can play better defense than Young, who I hope to rarely see in the OF.

I don't see a way they can both be on the team. They're both right handed DHs. The way I see it Reimold, even if healthy, has to be behind Jones, Pearce, Young, Snider, De Aza and Lough at the very least. He probably has the same shot at making the team as guys like Parmelee, Hassan, and Alvarez.

I agree, I dont see them both on this team.

When somebody was remarking how Reimhold doesn't play good OF and deserves to be DH only.

I mentioned that he has to be better than Young, who was worse than Cruz and I dont ever want to see in the OF.

Not really. You just need one injury, to Delmon Young, to open the door for Reimold, IF he has a good spring. Righthanded DH, occassional outfielder. That's Young's job description. That's what Reimold is. He has just as good a chance as anyone else if something happens with Delmon.

Actually yes, you're right. Although I would rather roll with some of the other guys, the Orioles would likely turn to Reimold at that point. I'd rather not watch Delmon Young this year anyway. I think he's likely regressing back to below replacement level. I'm not buying a repeat of a .359 BABIP. The batted ball data says it should normalize. With his poor discipline and .140 ISO you have a guy who shouldn't have a roster spot.

The double. The pinch hitter data.

It's just ridiculous to think that Nolan will play a part in the 2015 season. He didn't prove himself lat year with Toronto or who else he was with, and he is to be lightning in a bottle come on. The O'S had that with Cruz and DD was to busy to negotiate with him and his agent.This club has way to many if's and really no one except Adam Jones as a positive going into 2015.The pitching will be good but I can't see run production. It' going to be a long year.

If you're eating lunch with your buddy, and he's eating a delicious burger while you're eating a ketchup sandwich with stale bread, your buddy's probably going to be happier than you. But hey, you probably saved some money.

Oh yeah. Absolutely. Having big money always made me happy.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Passan drew this link between Dombrowski and Elias in his big piece for this week.     That's the basic question before us as Elias has excelled setting it all up...he's playing the highest stakes games now.      Adley's 3.5 years is perhaps ballpark similar to the timeframe the Phillies' great players remain a championship caliber nucleus.     Adley's final 3 years - unless payroll grows, the opportunity for rosters with Burnes-Santander-Kimbrel level supporting players may shrink a little. It's more about ensuring a window doesn't close without a team maximizing its opportunity. In this regard, the Phillies and Orioles are quite similar, though Dombrowski's counterpart in Baltimore, Mike Elias, gets a little more leeway because the Orioles' period of contention is longer than any team's. The Phillies' isn't short, by any means, but every year Bryce Harper (31 years old), Trea Turner (31), J.T. Realmuto (33), Zack Wheeler (34) and Aaron Nola (31) age is a year closer to an inevitable downturn. That's when, as an executive in charge, you push. And when it comes to a willingness to look past what a computer system suggests is proper value and potentially overpay for talent, nobody matches Dombrowski. Robert fits the bill and fills a need.

      Holliday, Mayo or Basallo

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Since I currently have Basallo 3rd, guess I have to be consistent and say he would go first.  I think Mayo and Basallo have the chance to be absolute impact power bats while I think Holliday has a chance to be a very good OBP guy with some pop.  I'd only say Basallo because he has more risk than the other other two and Orioles seem to be gradually transitioning from catch to 1B (he's basically split time between C and 1B since he was allowed to throw. Saying that, Basallo may have the highest ceiling bat wise of the three.  Mayo is the safest bet because he's major league ready now and has developed that game power now. The arm strength gives him a chance to stay at 3B for a bit but even if he transitions to 1B or RF he'll have value. Holliday hit just .222 in June in AAA but had a .444 OBP because if his ability to draw walks, walks that he might not get with major league umpires until he establishes himself.  Really, I'm not trading any of them, but if I had to, it's Basallo followed by Holliday.

      Keep Holiday and when he’s ready , install him at 2B , keep Westy at 3B , Gunnar at SS and Mayo is our 1B . Then after we’re set at infield. keep one of Urias , Mateo or Norby as our utility backup.  I love Basallo but he’s the one ( if we plan on Skubal) to sacrifice  Just my opinion

      Trade NONE of them!  Keep Holliday, Mayo, Basallo!   (I'd even try to keep Kjerstad too!).   Package Stowers, McDermott, Norby, Bradfield, Beavers and 2 other lower minors guys!

      Outfield PA the rest of the way

      The Cowser talk is interesting. He’s extremely controversial on here for a rookie who is quite literally one of the best defensive OF’ers in the MLB (98th percentile), hits for well above average power, and has been a very valuable base runner too (95th percentile). Maybe it’s because nobody expected his defense to be that great, but he’s not Kjerstad, he arguably doesn’t even need to be a league average hitter to still be a 2-3 WAR guy with his defense/base running. He can certainly be frustrating to watch sometimes and needs to improve in higher leverage situations, but when I think of the best version of this Orioles team, it certainly involves Cowser in the OF. He’s a better player with a higher ceiling and floor than either Hays or Mullins and needs to play to see if he can work through some of his issues. Cowser is not Gunnar, but through 280 PA’s last year (Cowser is at 278 right now), Gunnar was striking out 32% of the time and hitting for slightly less power than Cowser is right now. The rest of the season he struck out 20.5% of the time and hit 17 HR’s. Again, Cowser isn’t Gunnar, but there’s little reason to cut his playing time when his ceiling is being the best OF’er on the team, and his floor is likely not any worse than what they’ve gotten from Mullins the past 2 seasons. He doesn’t need to play every single game but he should certainly be playing more than Mullins and Hays.

      Skubal trade..Kjerstad, Mountcastle, McDermott and Bradfield?

      By cnmilton · Posted

      My point being, injuries happen. It's almost impossible for a team to win the World Series without good pitching. The Orioles need a rotation upgrade to have a chance at the title.
