Hammel wants to win, and this team has a great record of winning for the past 3 years.

But, I have trouble seeing him go anywhere, with Ruben in charge up there.

That may be true, but he's a California boy and his preference for the west coast is documented. There's a reason Baltimore is on his limited no trade list, I assume.

I don't consider this overpaying. Sorry, he sent two prospects for another prospect.

Doesn't change the fact, that Ruben wants too much, and that is from multiple sources in MLB.

He overpaid....

It’s kind of hard to believe a team is actually giving up talent for Dana Eveland rather than just signing him to a minor league contract and letting him compete for a job, but here we are.

Dana Eveland was not a prospect when the O's traded for him.

He was a body.

Martin closed a few games at AA at age 24 last year.

Henson had a .700 plus OPS at AAA at age 26

Eveland's age 30 MLB line.

Giving up little is overpaying when you can have it for free. Would you buy a pinecone off me for a nickle if you had them laying in your front yard?

Probably. I like you. If I needed a cone, I would probably convince myself that you had the best quality cones available.

Good Grief.

We are talking about a billion dollar organization with several hundred players in the system.

Nobody is perfect.

I standby my original opinion.

DD is not going to dance with Ruben and overpay for Hamel.

I agree that he won't overpay for Hamels. But that doesn't mean he has never overpaid.

Some of us think Norris was an overpay. Some think Miller was an overpay.

Norris wasn't an overpay, since he has been a quality starter for the team and is still around.

I can understand some would question trading for Miller, he was a two month rental. Too early to determine if he truly overpay on this one. He traded a mid-round prospect for a team in the middle of a playoff drive, and the guy was lights out for the team.

I guess it all depends on your definition of "overpay"

    • Didn't see today's game in it's entirety but I will say this.  I feel 100% more confident with Mateo playing second and turning  a DP rather than JH right now.  JH will be fine there.  In time.   But even forgetting his hitting, D wise he just isn't there yet.   And yes I know the metrics say he is fine.  But to me, using the eye test, he looked very shaky fielding and throwing,
    • I like Kevin.  He is constantly improving.  My only beef is that he doesn't seem to understand that a foul ball isn't always out of play.   A ball can be hit foul, but still be in the field of play. 
    • My preferred day 3 WR would have been Troy Franklin, but he apparently had a bad combine on positional drills (which might have been because he had the flu.)  And he got picked by Denver pretty early.   Devontez Walker is kind of intriguing.  He's 6'2", barely.   A bit on the skinny side but ran in the mid-4.3s.  His route tree is pretty limited, mostly short quickouts/slants and go/post routes. But he's really good at the deep routes.  Sort of a discount DK.  He's reported to have good hands and good deep ball tracking ability as well.  We have to see how that translates in the pro game.
    • Adley looks way more energized and McCann is veteran catcher who is good defensively and handles the pitchers well.  Doesn't really make sense to wear Adley out when the O's are using him at the top of the lineup. 
    • Just seems like a more controlled swing from the right side, shorter, flatter.
    • He was signed in the Covid year when they only had a 5 round draft, which is why he was undrafted.  Was showing promise bur tore his UCL in 2022.  Pitched a little last year, this is his first full year back.  Nice to see the good outing.  
    • What's up with Brandon Young? Out of nowhere (#30 prospect above... undrafted?) he goes 3 IP with 0 hits or walks, and 7 Ks, throwing an otherworldly 26 of 31 pitches for strikes, in Bowie's game today.
