Who knows. He had an mvp April last year and then was one of the worst hitters in baseball the rest of the year. I hope it lasts but who’s crazy enough to bet on that? He’s had good stretches offensively. He’s never had a good season offensively. Stay tuned. -
Pretty simply, on average each spot in the lineup gets 18 fewer PA than the previous spot over a season. So, the typical #4 will get 54 PA fewer than #1. We’re about 28% of the way through the season so the no. 4 spot should be about 15 PA behind the 1st spot by now. In reality, right now the 1 spot for the O’s has 204 PA, while the 4 spot has 196, so the difference has been less than you’d typically expect. The average MLB differential between 1 and 4 right now is exactly 15 PA. The reason the annual average PA drop per spot is 18 is pretty intuitive. There are 162 games a year, and 9 spots in the batting order, so the game will end at each spot in the order about 18 times each. Obviously it won’t end up exactly that way, but in the long run, it’s close. So 18 times the game ends on the leadoff batter and he gets one more PA than everyone else. Then another 18 games the game ends on the no. 2 batter, so nos. 1 and 2 get one more PA than everyone else. Etc. -

And you're probably going to be right. In addition to one of best power bats in the game he can be a great lead off hitter, has great speed, who other than Mateo would you want trying to steal a base, maybe Cedric. This not you're average Orioles team i grew up with that played base to base, Ive followed the Os since 71 and this is the fastest Oriole team Ive seen, Although the 89 team gets a shout. -

The OP frames it well. It's about the risk/reward appetite. And the biggest risk is a long term guaranteed deal. I would try to stagger/ladder the maturity date of our investment portfolio to aid decision making. FA markets change from year to year. Trade markets too. Having assets near maturity and not having too many assets maturing at once is (IMHO) a key piece of sustainability. I'd offer a front loaded contract with a player opt out after 2 years to maximize the Adley Years. Something that puts $90m guaranteed in the Burnes Family Trust. Then drops to whatever projectable glide path with annual player opt outs. From Burnes' perspective that gives him another FA option after his age 31 season. Young enough go still go for length and max $ along the lines of deGrom. -

A very reasonable take on the Tettleton trade. However, I was a big fan and I was bummed to see him go. Mickey “Froot Loops” Tettleton may also have my favorite nickname of all time!
