Just for fun, predict which player in these pairs will be the more productive for the O's this year.

1. Davis or Pearce?

2. Schoop or Cabrera?

3. De Aza or Snider?

4. Joseph or Lavarnway?

5. Young or Reimold?

6. Brach or Webb?

7. Hunter or O'Day?

8. Jimenez or Gonzalez?

9. Lough or Flaherty?

If you don't like these pairings, feel free to make up your own.

1. Davis. He has a lot to prove and is in a contract year. If he wants any chance at a huge contract either in Baltimore or as a free agent, he has to have a monster year to prove last year was a fluke.

2. Schoop and it won't be particularly close.

3. Snider. By the All Star break we won't even remember ol' number 21 anymore.

4. Joseph. Kid had a great year last year, but his numbers look poor due to an unbelievable drought at the end of the season.

5. Hahahaha. Young. I'd love to say Reimold, as I'm still a big fan of Nolan, but I just don't see a spot on the roster for him.

6. Brach. I don't think Webb is an Oriole for the entire season.

7. O' Day, but this is a close one. I think both will continue to be effective bullpen guys. Hunter had a great year once he was removed from the closer role.

8. Gonzo. I like Ubaldo, but he hasn't done anything in an Orioles uniform to make me optimistic on this season.

9. Lough. Neither are even guaranteed a spot on the team at this point, but I think Lough actually might have a chance to take a lot of playing time from DeAza.

Tillman or Gausman? Which one becomes our ace?

Wieters or Davis? Which guy steps up to earn a "Boras" contract in the offseason?

Wieters or Manny? Which is the Orioles 2015 comeback player of the year?

If you're talking about just this year, Tillman. I think Gausman will probably have a pretty good year, maybe great, but he's not going to go from promising rookie to ace in one year. It took Tillman several to get there.

Davis. Matt is not the hitter he showed at the beginning of last year. He'll be the same average hit/good catcher that he always was. Davis will break the bank.

Manny. Not even close.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      I don't think it is really the past 5 games.  It is the next 4 months, potential playoffs, and all of next year that has people concerned.  Remember these elbows aren't just taking guys out this year, but most of next year as well. And Burnes probably won't be around next either.

      It is just a real shame that the Os are going through all of these elbows.  Take away all of the elbows going back to last year with Felix and I would say the Os are a lock to get to the WS and would have a great chance to win it all. I haven't seen this many injuries from a teams top guys in such a short amount of time in maybe.....forever. I am starting to wonder if it is something the Os are doing as far as their training.   Trying to obtain too much spin, revs, and velocity. I am a big Colts fan and for years we have complained about all of the knee blowouts and hammy injuries they get when playing at home.  Finally the Colts realized that it might be turf related from their home field and replaced it this past spring.

      I've been a fan for a long time too but mostly remember a lot of near misses, not tailspin collapses. 2005 comes to mind (Raffygate, Sammy Sosa, Lee Mazzilli, et al.)... what other seasons are you thinking of, to create scar tissue?

      I really like Kremer.  Seems like a good guy and a solid arm. But he is not going to be the guy to get you into the playoffs and he especially won't be a guy between a make or break WS championship.

      We can hope he’s back to being his #5 self, but he’ll now be a #3, and let’s all x the fingers

      The 5 game losing streak is a 5 game losing streak.  I am not too concerned about that unless it turns into something bigger. Every team goes through it.  What I am concerned about is losing 3 starters and 2 great relievers since last August with not a lot to replace them other than Burnes.  And they won't even back for most of next year...if at all. Add in the fact that Burnes is more than likely leaving after this year?  Our cupboard pitching wise is pretty bare as it looks right now. So imo you absolutely need to trade some of your AA and AAA players to get pitching help now and for next year.  This team is too good to waste years on players like GH and AR.

      Trading Drew Rom for Flaherty was not a big swing. It was trading a maybe prospect for a “hope he’s ok” guy with three months before FA. I am increasingly convinced Mike won’t make any bigger move this season, and what we have is basically what we will have.
