we start unloading free agents and build for the next few years? All Star break or sooner?

We all know that will be the plan if things continue.

It's not just the loss of Cruz and Miller. This team is under-performing in all aspects.

No we don't all know that is the plan.

And the free agents to be don't exactly have a lot of value. Davis, Wieters, DeAza, Hunter, ODay, Wright, Pearce, Chen, Norris, Young. What do you think the team could get for that?

The only analysis needed to look at is the comparison to McClouth and Flaherty. You guys can post all the stuff you want, but that comparison is just ludicrous. I know you dont even believe it but you've dug in now so you just gotta keep digging deeper to try and save face.

So you aren't even trying to have a discussion. You are admitting that you won't allow your opinion to be swayed. So this is completely pointless then.

It is not ludicrous if you have a basic understanding of the stat, which you do not. And you choose not to want to understand.

We are talking about one season where they are remotely similar. Not in general. Not sure you actually understand that.

If you told me the sky is not blue and grass is not green, no I wouldnt be swayed no matter what you brought to the table. There has to be reason to be swayed.

No. That is bias101. Besides the fact you are getting completely caught up in a side discussion that has completely moved away from the original argument.

No, Im just not buying what you're selling.

Than go read a book. Maybe you will learn something. There is a post of links in the MLB forum if you want to educate your self on WAR and other stats.

I know its always about needing to be educated when somebody isnt buying in . . .

Books are great, but there is more.

Stats are great and tell a lot, but not everything.

      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.
