Nope. On his first grounder (first play fielding 3B) he threw wide of 1B.

Another question. Moving him from DH, did they burn the DH putting him in the field?

Yes. That's why I asked. Garcia was due up in Manny's spot.

Yes, but it was the 9th and we had a 14 run lead. If we'd needed the DH, that would have been a secondary issue.

Jimmy has a strong but inaccurate arm. Maybe he'd do better in the outfield, there the throwing mechanics are different. He has decent speed. If his bat stays strong, maybe they'll give him a look out there with an eye toward next season.

I'd DFA Chris Davis before I'd DFA Paredes.

Good thing we still have Delmon Young to get rid of.

Navarro goes for Hardy

Lavarnway goes for Wieters

Cabrera goes for Flaherty

If Schoop comes back any time soon, I'd look to trade either Delmon or DeAza

That is silly. Davis is looking like he may have a renaissance year. That said' date=' there are pitchers I'd kiss goodbye well before either Davis or Paredes.[/quote']

Unfortunately Davis will kiss himself goodbye if he has a big year. Im guessing thats why Weams is willing to DFA Davis.

He said he had not seen it. We were going to let him believe.

    • On the spot?  Maybe.   Even at full health, people would have accepted not winning the division because of the pace the Yankees are on.   We have a comfortable lead for the WC so if the Orioles can continue winning at a reasonable pace with Burnes/GRod/Kremer/Irvin/Povich/Suarez.   As far as the playoffs go, there’s only a few starters that inspire confidence in a playoff series that will be available.   Elias isn’t trading Holliday, Basallo, or Mayo.  He just isn’t.   He can get relievers without giving up top prospects.  The question is, can he get someone like Crochet without giving up those top 3?   Crochet, despite innings concerns, gives you a playoff starter plus someone who’ll be here after Burnes is gone. However, Crochet is an A.J. Preller type of move, not an Elias type of move.   If Povich looks the part of a ML starter AND no more starters go down, I could see Elias standing pat on the starters and fortifying the back end of the bullpen.

    • The answer appears to be, yes, you can receive more than one compensation picks. Angels -- Shohei Ohtani: Pick after Competitive Balance Round B Blue Jays -- Matt Chapman: Pick after Round 4 Cubs -- Cody Bellinger: Pick after Competitive Balance Round B Padres -- Blake Snell: Pick after Round 4 Padres -- Josh Hader: Pick after Round 4
    • the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.
    • I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.
