The same way every thread is about claiming player x or trading for player y. Except we actually had these players in our possesion. Being on pace for 78 HR's and 70 saves doesn't sound to shabby. Plus didn't weams start a thread about Choo's stats. Everyone loves roster discussion. I know I do.

But honestly I really want to know if any team has ever lost those two in the same offseason. I'm scouring BBref. Yes this my friday night. Thanks marriage.

Ahh, player X and player Y. Very good.

Is this related to Miller?

It can't be, because he didn't get any Cy Young votes last year.

I don't know who the Top-5 M.V.P. player (on the 2014 Orioles) that we lost was, either.

Yeah, my bad. It's referring to players X and Y.

I suspect almost every team has lost a May Cy Young and MVP.

A CY Young that has pitched 70 innings. Yeah. It is a Miller and Tuffy Rhodes thread. I would assume that the mod who closed the Miller thread probably did not want this one popping up either. Just a guess. I won't close it, but how about if we let it die. It's been beat to death. Miller won't pitch 80 innings. He's great. He's gone. Get someone else.

Oh, is he talking about the ensuing season after we lost them, and projecting it to be Top-5 MVP and Cy Young award winners ???

If so, thanks.

I'm asking a legit question. Not trying to derail the board. Hypothetically if Cruz and Miller finish in the top 5, has a team ever lost those two in one offseason. And to those that try to poke fun. Don't we always speculate about the future on here and would could happen? I bet it's never happened. That's all.

The 1991 Pirates lost Bonilla and Smiley, who were both top 3. They made the playoffs the next year.

How the heck did you figure that out? Please don't tell me you remembered that off the top of your head.

Regardless - impressive pull.

OK. I'll be serious. Nelson Cruz is not the AL MVP this year. And Miller may not be as valuable as Betances. Let alone a starter that pitches 200 innings at sub 3 ERA of which we will have a couple. He's not going to be CY Young. So it's not worth talking through really.

I just remembered that the Pirates lost all of their good players at once. I had to do some checking on BB-ref for the details.

Yeah, I sort of though that you were being serious, and Nigel comes through with the factoid!

That said, Miller and Nelly have no chance whatsoever of being Cy Young or MVP no matter how they do the rest of he year.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.

      For Mountcastle …Maybe Chase Petty and Tristan Smith?

      I’m guessing they ask for Mayo or Basallo of Kjerstad. For me …I’d give them Kjerstad since he’s defensively challenged IMO. Maybe Kjerstad, McDermott, Beavers, and O’Ferrall?

      192 wins in two seasons is a pretty strong argument to stay the course.  That said, I wonder if the young players wouldn't be better off long-term if the scientific matchups took a back seat to the raw talent a little more than we've seen.  Overthinking something can be a thing you know.
