I agree. Why move before you have to and forfeit a piece? We are constantly reminded that expecting health from machado, wieters and Davis is foolish. We need all of the depth we can get.

Young isn't depth for Machado, Wieters or Davis.

That being said if keeping him at Norfolk for a bit gets the O's another year of team control then that is the move to make.

I understand that.

Why ship away young though, only to move reimold in his spot? Then when reimold goes down...?

To improve the team.

If Reimold goes down long term just resign Young.

If reimold represented a clear upgrade over young, I would agree. I don't believe that to be the case. At least not enough to go from two similar players under control to one.

Also, I think someone would pick up young were we to waive him. Especially with outfiders tripping on sprinklers and injuries occurring around the league.

You consider Young an outfielder?

I'd consider running Frenchie out there every day over Young.

I consider him a bat, primarily a Dh, who can play of if needed. It only takes one team with a need to take the option of just signing him off the couch away if we need him.

Reimold has definitely provided an amazing amount of discussion fodder on the board for an amazing number of years. But clearly, Reimold does not equal young. Young without a capital letter, that is. Reimold is 31 years old. Nolan has only played more than 100 games once in his career and over 80 only twice. He's a great "what if" player to discuss, but impossible to project...and using his age in the projection is not flattering to Reimold. Unless of course, he's a young 31. :wedge: Thank you, thank you very much. I'll be the airport holiday inn all week.

Heck of a first few weeks in 2012, though.

Palmer picked him as this year's sleeper, too.

How are they going to get him on the roster?

Buck makes a lot of positive comments like this every spring. That said, Reimold has done well.

      6th straight game with 2 or fewer runs allowed

      By now · Posted

      Awesome research, thanks. I was a fan in 1974 but had forgotten that string of five shutouts.  This last two weeks of rotation excellence (and your list) is giving me flashbacks to the summer of love (1967), when I started to make game logs to savor the strings of shutouts and low-hit gems by Oriole starters. Looking back now at the game logs kept by Baseball-Reference (manually, without your sorting skills!), it's hard to identify exactly which streak so impressed my teenage fan-meter, or even which year. Certainly 1968 was all about low scoring league-wide.  Maybe it was the stretch 22-27 May 1967 featuring Phoebus, Bertaina, Barber, McNally, and Phoebus again (good old 4-man rotation!), including three scoreless outings. Or Hardin and Brabender joining Phoebus, McNally and Palmer from 15 to 20 September, 1967. What about 1969, with Cuellar, Lopez and Leonhard joining the previous cast of McNally, Phoebus, and Hardin, twirling 10 starts (13-22 June) while allowing only 12 runs.  Anyway, it feels rather historic to see this run of high-end pitching from an Orioles rotation. Here's a chart to recap the numbers on this streak in progress... Date Starter IP H ER ERA (14 G) totals: 81.67 59 19 2.09 21-Apr Irvin 6.2 4 0   22-Apr Suarez 5.2 4 0   23-Apr Rodriguez 4.1 11 7   24-Apr Kremer 5.1 3 2   26-Apr Burnes 6 3 1   27-Apr Irvin 7 4 0   28-Apr Suarez 4 7 4   29-Apr Rodriguez 5.2 5 0   30-Apr Kremer 7 4 2   1-May Burnes 6 4 2   2-May Bradish 4.2 4 1   3-May Irvin 6.1 2 0   4-May Means 7 3 0   5-May Kremer 6 1 0

      Is the 2024 team better than 2023’s?

      By now · Posted

      Somehow feels typical of Orioles to play up to the competition, and get burned by the pretenders... same with individual starting pitchers.

      Kremer is due for Regression

      By AlbNYfan · Posted

      It was very obvious ...he would also take a look at his hand frequently. On Saturday, watching a clip in the dugout after one of the HR's, Kremer went to give a high five, pulled back and took a look at his hand. I thought it strange, and I thought something was off. He always appeared to be one of the more enthusiastic celebrators. It would seem the coaches would notice and probably did, but thought nothing of it. Certainly didn't affect his game.

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      I just looked thru their record a while ago.  Series against the Nats (2), White Sox, Marlins, Cardinals, Rockies and Angels makes their record of 1 win better than the O's way less impressive.  Their schedule coming up must be hell.
