This tells us a little bit about how dysfunctional the offseason was. Notice he said middle "men". Wouldn't DD just be middle man?

This is you taking one super vague post and attaching your agenda to it. Most people assumed this had nothing to do with Toronto.

Some people still believe that this past offseason and the DD and Toronto thing had no impact on our offseason. These same people also believe the official accounts of the government reports.

See you are back to spouting nonsense again.

Explain how that doesn't make sense? We have only two long term contracts. No long term money guaranteed at all. De Aza, Snider, and Delmon Young add up to about 10 million dollars. Cruz signed for 14 million per year.

I'd rather have Gausman in the rotation and Miller in the pen. Rather than Norris in the rotation and Gausman in the pen. How is that non sense?

I think we all have to admit at this point that Tillman has been a major disappointment so far. for a guy who was supposed to be the ace, he has come up very small this year.

Agreed. Seems like the Tillman of old. Thankfully the rest of the starters have more or less got their act together.

I say great, take this opportunity to ink a long term deal.

I don't think anybody would argue that. The hope is he gets back to pitching like he's used to.

      The Os will be in the playoffs

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      Well, Westburg could start at 2nd instead of Mateo.   McCann could be used as just a back up catcher instead of using him just to get an extra RH bat in the lineup. He's been in 19 of the teams 41 games. That seems a bit excessive for a guy that's just a backup.   You really don't have to squint to see an opportunity for a player to get a chance... especially if he can start hitting rather quickly.

      Do you think Norby can be an everyday MLB player?

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      I honestly haven't seen his defense enough but someone with his bat should find a job somewhere, if not for the Orioles.

      Trade options for the outfield

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Harrison Bader of the Mets is another option.  He's an above average center fielder,so would help on defense.  He doesn't bring much offensively, with a .659 OPS and only 1 HR this year.  His OPS against LHP this year is barely above .600, but for his career, he hits LHP better w/ a .807 OPS.

      Does he have the defense? After adjusting his numbers down (from triple a to MLB), do you think he can hang on full time?  I really like him, but don’t know enough about projecting players.  Thanks for the wisdom.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      That’s my point. Mateo has great range at 2nd base. With all the bat talk, have we really discussed how good Mateo has been at 2B?  We haven’t really seen him play there in his Oriole career.  What is Mateo’s range like compared to other MLB 2B purely at 2B?  Can that be looked up? Rep to anyone that knows.

      Is it time to upgrade over Urias and McCann?

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      The only way McCann goes somewhere is if somehow a Catcher with options hits the DFA market, we claim him, and down the road McCann gets hurt and said catcher wins the job.  In the playoffs, we’ll see Adley catching every game. That’s our big advantage. Adley’s bat at the catcher spot.  Urias for Mayo/Holliday is what the long term goal should be for August. Urias is a fine regular season player, but this team can go to another level offensively if Mayo/Holliday can get to a .750 OPS in the MLB the rest of the season. Similar to how we developed Gunnar last year.

      2024 Prospect Power Rankings

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Wagner and Horvath are the only real disappointments so far for me. How much does injury play a role in that? The tiers with the bats look to be, Potential Stars/All Stars - Holliday, Mayo, and Basallo Everyday starters for the O’s  - Kjerstad, Beavers, EBJ Platoon Player/starter for another MLB team - Norby Too Early to tell/Flawed - Horvath, Wagner, Fabian, Willems, Etzel
