Don't get this move at all. He gives us nothing we don't already have. You know my love for Lough, but DFA-ing him for Reimold would be stupid.

I just don't get it. Maybe they are trying to make room for Yaz at AAA. Who knows.

Aside from a right handed bat who can get on base you mean?

Nolan is on fire for the past 14 games in AAA. That is why he is being called up now.

And I know I'm going to get no love on this comment at all, but being on fire has no predictive value. When you have a .725 OPS hitter in the midst of a .900 OPS for 14 games in AAA, his mostly likely OPS in his next 14 games in the MLBs is .725.

Which would be about 40 points higher than any of the current COF has put up for this season.

Maybe. And if that happens, no harm no foul. Plus that .725 is probably still better than what Pearce or Lough is giving us right now. (I know I shouldn't say that without checking the stats, but what the heck, wouldn't be the first time I'm wrong.)

I guess we'll see about that. If he hits, then he's a shot on the arm that the club really needs. If he doesn't, he was cheap and can be released. Its a win-win for the Orioles and may be Nolan's last chance.

Nolan is on fire for the past 14 games in AAA. That is why he is being called up now. If it works and he continues to hit then the Orioles did good. If not, so be it. No harm no foul.

How is it a win if he stinks and gets released?

Gotta be better than what we currently have.

Yeah. And it's not even close.

2015 OPS so far:

Pearce .616

Lough .538

2015 OPS last 14 days:

Pearce .632

Lough .400

Man I kept forgetting about Matusz not counting. We make so many roster moves it is hard to keep track. I guess they will go with a 6 man pen until Matusz gets back. I think Lough is safe for now. It actually is starting to make some sense.

Until Schoop returns

vs LHP

Pearce plays 2B

Wieters DH

Young RF

vs RHP

Paredes DH

Flaherty 2B

Snider RF

I think Reimold will play just about everyday. If Reimold plays well then Lough is in trouble when Schoop returns. I think Reimold has until Schoop comes back to show what he has.

I agree with this. Cabral gets optioned. Reimold's career OPS is 762.

Roch agrees:

My guess is they option a reliever. Left-handers Cesar Cabral and T.J. McFarland can be sent down without having to pass through waivers.

If they are going one pitcher short in the pen they are not optioning the guy that can pitch multiple innings. McFarland stays.

      Holliday, Mayo or Basallo

      By AlbNYfan · Posted

      I have concerns about Holliday. I know SSS and the O's put a lot of pressure on the kid. T-shirt day, his first appearance. Really?? Who the F planned that? Still, I saw nothing that impressed me, hitting, fielding or arm. I know all the scouts had him one or close to it. I sometimes wonder if their ratings had anything to do with his father's success. So, the O's send him back down to fix him. I think this kid lived baseball and was probably given the best coaching on a near daily basis by his dad, players and coaches on the Cardinals. He's young and may be great. Sell high. Mayo...everyone looks at the O....where to hide him?  No way 3rd. This site is pretty tough on players that play poor D.

      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.

      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!
