Oh, I agree with this 100%. I just do not think the Orioles will add to their payroll at this point in time

They will. If Is are within 5 games by mid June (15th) which is an important trade date... A move will be made. Prolly a rental for rental and an A or AA. Or there is always a trade with blue jays. Bautista for player and DD in 2016. LOL!

Are the A's actually looking to trade him?
The A's aren't going any where this season. They are going to be sellers and Reddick is a big chip. I would think he'd be on the table. Only one more year of control and up for arb next year. He'll get a lot with the year he is having.

My mental state right now as I watch the games is as follows...."When and what will the Orioles do to blow THIS game?"

I swear, if we hit, we don't pitch. If we pitch, we can't score. If we hit and pitch, we have mental blunders on the bases and in the field. If we score, seems like our pitchers want to give the runs right back. WE just can't get it together right now.

Buck has publicly stated to his outfielders "Its time for someone to step up and claim the position" yet none of them, including Jones, is playing well. The mental blunders like Snyder last night and Paredes on the bases is just adding to the overall problem. The issue is NO ONE has options, so even if we wanted to bring up a Nolan or a Parmelee, we'd have to DFA someone else.

Something I was thinking about last night. Palmer said Parmelee is a good defensive first baseman. That doesn't jive with what I've heard on the Hangout, but if its true, what if we brought up Parmelee for first, and put Davis in right field?

I don't have stats to support this but a friend of mine who saw him play a bunch in Minnesota said his best position was 1B but he wasn't particularly good there. Just relaying one guy's opinion.

I have been saying for a month now, I want to see Davis in RF and see if that is an option.

Billy refused to listen to offers this off-season on him.

Then if he does go somewhere, it will be at the last tick on July 31st. This team isn't good enough with Reddick to win a world series. I would rather sell some big pieces for the future than do that.

He's gonna sell. A's need to restock after selling the farm last year for their epic fail.

Billy really caused the epic fail last season with his moves.

If Billy does sell, it will be at the end of the trading deadline.

Right now, he still think they can get back in it.

Of course but Billy made a move early last year. He make a move early for the right price this year. He needs arms and position players in his farm or Billy is gonna be hurting for the next few years.

But does Reddick make us an instant contender? Not so sure about that....we already gave away Erod.

      Gunnar/ Adley . Would Gunnar have been a good choice at 1-1?

      By webbrick2010 · Posted

      There probably was no "right" choice and absolutely no "absolutely right choice" I was on record wanting to choose Abrahms and my logic was simple, a 1:1 is a chance to pick a HOF type talent A college catcher was a safe pick and Adley is having a nice career but he is clearly not a MVP/HOF type player.

      Agreed, Akin is pitching too well to be optioned until there’s no other choices. Tate should certainly be optioned before him. The only reason I could see Akin needing to be optioned is if BOTH Means and Irvin end up in the pen (with Bradish, Kremer and Suárez starting). That’s possibly the best 5 SP right now if they believe Suárez > Means/Irvin. In which case you really can’t have 5 lefty RP and only one RHP to go with Kimbrel and Cano. Otherwise, they should carry 4 lefty RP (with one of Means/Irvin as the long man) before optioning Akin.

      The answer to the question is obviously no. Now if the question was would Gunnar have been worthy #1 pick the answer seems obvious that he would have been.    But taking him where he went allowed the Orioles to maximize their draft which is what every team hopes to do.    You can argue whether Adley was the right pick but if Gunnar went first there is no way the two picks work as well for Baltimore.

      Time Gunnar's triple

      By 24fps · Posted

      1080i video is redrawn a half frame (field) at 60 times per second.  Progressive footage like 1080p is 30 whole frames per second but often converted to interlaced format for transmission. If you are doing this on an ongoing basis, here's a suggestion: download the free version of one of the numerous non-linear editors out there like Avid or DaVinci Resolve and throw the clip on a timeline for your measurement.  Manually clicking through hundreds of frames seems like it would be needlessly cumbersome not to mention slow.

      This. I don’t get the Akin going down talk (even though it seems more based off his option remaining than performance). Right now Akin is arguably our 4th most trusted reliever (can argue with Webb) based off his usage and his peripherals are clearly in the top 4 with Cano, Kimbrel, and Coulombe. He might not be a setup guy but he’s a solid piece to have in the middle innings.   Akin’s K-BB% is nearly double that of Baumann’s in both of their careers as relievers. He K’s more, walks less, and gets more chases and whiffs.   Keeping Baumann over Akin even for a week isn’t a move that winning teams make. Not to trash him, but Baumann is just not good, so who cares if he gets claimed? He’s not trusted at this point late in close games unless the bullpen is overused, so if you lose him and need a replacement later in the year you have Heasley, Charles, and Tate (if he gets optioned). Then you also have Wells who should be a bullpen guy when he comes back. Having the flexibility is good but keeping one of your worst relievers just because he doesn’t have an option doesn’t seem like a good way to solve a log jam.

      Witt had hit tool questions on draft day, and Abrams was much less of a sure thing than Adley. Based on information known at the time, we absolutely made the right choice with Adley.
