Jimmy Paredes long-term

[Rene88]

This Jimmy Paredes guy is awful:) Get rid of him and let's watch more of Lough bounce balls in front of the plate:)

Reimold and Parmelee are both worse outfielders than Travis Snider.

Of course they are. As is Demon and everyone on the Orioles 40 Man Roster other than Alvarez, Jones, and Lough. Maybe De Aza.

I am of the opinion that you go all in when you have a chance to win the World Series.

When you are a team with budgetary restrictions like the Orioles, you have to take advantage of your chances.

I think Buck and Dan want to build a consistent winner. But building a consistent winner can come at the cost of going all in and being WS caliber for a small window as opposed to just a playoff team for a longer period of time.

I guess it just depends on what you really value.

Sure. Going all in would have meant signing Cruz and Miller but I think your post summarizes the Orioles very well.

I think so too.

Sweet Jesus, where is all of this coming from?

But WAR says....he isn't that good:)

What are you talking about? WAR says he's been our second best player this year behind Jones.

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

He's young. This is his first extended MLB experience. Their is no MiLB WAR.

Just don't call Dan Duquette and he should be happy.

May have missed lighting in a bottle with Garcia, but found it with Parades.:thumbsup1:

Hopefully what we're seeing from Hittin' Jimmy isn't a mirage. The guy is white hot right now, and I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.

Even if he only winds up hitting like Rod Carew for a week, spraying the ball and showing some pop, it sure is fun to watch. Even his out today was a line drive.
