Great defense and good offense. I just don't see him as a franchise type player. I see him as a 280 avg and 25 HR. I would love to say he's gonna be that 300 and 35 HR guy but I just don't see it.

That is a franchise player. It's just not Trout. It's A.J. though and Jones is a franchise player.

Last, season I was curious as to who could be potential hall of famers. So I read a ton of articles. Majority of them had Manny on them. He is only 22. 22 YEARS OLD. He is performing at a high level for that age. He is only going to get better. Most players on the o's have reached their highest level of play and potential. When Manny reaches his, he will be greater than all of them.

This week on the Baseball America prospect hot list there is an Oriole third baseman on the list. He's in Frederick (class A).

He's 23 years old.

Holy smokes! That's 13 points and 10 homers higher than Brooks. You have some incredibly lofty expectations.

I really don't see him being as good as Jones. I really don't see much of a difference between Trout and Jones to be honest.

About 100 to 150 points in OPS depending on the year. That's the different between Trout and Jones. It's significant to say the least. Not hating on Jones. Just pointing out a fact.

I would be perfectly happy with Manny averaged .280, 25 HR with gold glove defense over the next ten years. I think that's a reasonable expectation. He will have some years where he exceeds that. I think he has a much better approach than Adam ever did and I expect that to keep improving as well. Adam's just more of a pure hitter.

Whining after called strikes seems to be the way to eventually get calls. See Ortiz, Bautista, Aroid etc. Manny's idle has been one of the biggest whiners in baseball. Not surprised about his attitude. Im just hoping he stays healthy his last 4 years as an Oriole.

      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

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      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)?

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      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.
