And then he made a point of saying that he had done a lot of work. Cabrera has a lot of range and a much better arm than Flaherty. At times he has had a problem getting the ball out of his glove, but not so much recently. He's made plays at SS that Flaherty just doesn't have the arm to make.

Sorry was not trying to say, he was below average and needs lots of work.

He is also prone to errors to at SS, looking at his past work.

But, I am not ready to label Cabrera as a plus defender.

I know some have labeled Cabrera the new guy that will stay here, since he was signed, and he might.

I am not sold that Buck will keep Cabrera over Flaherty.

When Hardy is ready I think they option Flaherty for 10 days and then see where are. I think Cabrera will play all over. 2B, SS, 3B, any of the OF spots and DH. Buck will see how he does. After 10 days Buck will know more have what he has.

I don't see a spot right now for Paredes but I think the O's try to keep on the DL as long as possible. Slow roll the rehab. Use all 20 days of the rehab assignment to the minors. Maybe an injury happens.

Why do you suggest 3B for Cabrera?

I would send Cabrera to Norfolk when Hardy comes back and I would trade Parades for whatever I could if he is ready to come back and there is no room for him (no injuries).

The only other thing I might see happening is Lough being traded or DFA'd if Buck thinks that Cabrera can handle the outfield.

Everth isn't going anywhere.

Nether is Flaherty.

I disagree. I think he will go, at least very temporarily.

Lough-won't beat a dead horse there.

we gotta see Paredes is capable of. I believe the O's feel the same way.

Flaherty will only be a phone call away.

Umm what? How has Snider been a disappointment besides one bad catch?

You have poor reading comprehension. This is the second or third time you have done this. Please put me on ignore, I am doing the same with you.

I said, I predicted Snider to be a big disappointment and he has not been.

Get back to me when you see Cabrera at 2B or 3B.

Um what? You better re-read your original post because that is not what it said.

Edit. Fair enough. It reads that your prediction looked good (that he was a disappointment). Not that they were playing well. My apologies.

Btw, thanks for the compliment. But if I have poor reading comprehension, I don't even know what that says about your reading comprehension? Non-existent perhaps since you think anyone disagreeing with you is a personal attack.

Eh, I can see the misinterpretation. He said "both look good. Hats off to DD". Both, in this instance, refers to the players not the predictions.

      Thank you. I knew there was something bogus about that post. I saw Cal play SS. And Gunnar is no Cal at SS. Not even close. And this is coming from a big fan of Gunnar. I would like to see him play a traditional power position. Call me old fashioned. He’s hurting the team at SS.

      Interesting.  We live in a data obsessed world now but it's not the answer to everything.  There should be a mix.

      I doubt solid MLB pitchers can be acquired just by trading position players the vast majority of the time.  Look at how we acquired Bradish and Povich -- by trading solid (at the time anyway) MLB level pitchers.  In those trades we were on the other end, but we forced teams to trade good young pitchers for Bundy and Lopez respectively.  Now we did acquire McDermott and Seth Johnson by trading Trey Mancini.  So it does happen that pitching can sometimes be acquired trading only a position player, but Mancini had had a strong major league career to that point.  My point is I don't think you can expect to acquire pitching only by trading position players -- but if you can it may need to be a strong veteran that is not easy to part with. Perhaps we could acquire Tarik Skubal for just Jackson Holliday -- or Holliday plus one or two other strong position prospects.  But that would be a whole other level of a blockbuster trade. Also, I'm not sure how we can say the system is bereft of homegrown minor league pitching talent and then complain that we traded Baumeister and Chace -- two homegrown minor league pitchers that everyone here seems to agree are talented.  We can criticize the trade, but clearly there was and probably still are some desirable arms in the system that we'd rather not trade.  No, none of the ones Elias drafted have made it to the bigs yet, but maybe those two would have been among the first.

      Seth Johnson on the Phillies' "philosophy": Orioles are data driven, Phillies are more "old school". I don't get much out of this but it's a data point. https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/seth-johnson-mlb-debut-phillies-orioles-trade/613582/ “I think the big thing is that Baltimore is very data-based,” he said. “Here’s a nice blend of the numbers and baseball strategy. Kind of old school. And I’ve been really enjoying it so far. For me, it’s kind of simplified everything. Concentrating on basic concepts like moving the fastball around. Not worrying about pitch shapes all the time. Just going out here and trying to pitch.”

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      If we have room, why wouldn't we add Pham and Van Loon just to have available depth in AAA (whether or not they are at risk of being taken)?

      I think Young will be added, and that is it. I like Pham, but no AAA experience makes him unlikely to be taken. Whatever open spots should be used to upgrade the bullpen and other pitching depth. It is well documented here that we don’t have much beyond raw guys like Strowd and Heid. we lack flexibility and options. This has to change.
