Should O's Add New Blood to Stagnant Offense?

[Dipper9]

Dipper made a decent point that he could see action in maybe 4 games before Wieters is back.

Please note this as I don't make a habit of making decent points. :2yay-thumb:

Hmmm....maybe I should sticky it? :scratchchinhmm:

And looking through the game logs, most of those starts were in the beginning of the year. He has started much less frequently recently.

And 47% seems like a very high number for Young against RHP (633 OPS against).

Exactly, especially considering I'd probably start him a lot closer to 0 percent against RHP.

Great. That's not what I asked. You said it's silly to think Snider should play more, which means you believe Young is a better option. Correct?

I think that his point was that it's silly that we are even having a debate about whether or not Delmon Young or Travis Snider should be getting more playing time lol. My position is that if the front office took care of business in the offseason than Delmon Young would have the same role that he had last year and Snider probably wouldn't be on the team.

I think you need to get over your obsession with what did or did not happen last offseason and concentrate on what is and what will be happening.

Surprisingly not seeing too many people upset over not signing Rasmus even tho quite a few were upset when it fell through.

Great, he's free to take that to one of the many threads STILL lamenting the offseason (So the Orioles weren't going to increase payroll 40 percent in 1 offseason?!?). I asked him a direct question regarding players currently on the team. You know, the ones Buck is actually allowed to play.

I would not be surprised if the offense sputters more when Wieters returns. He hasn't batted against ML pitchers in over a year. ST he looked terrible. Best case scenario is that after 50 AB's we will get an indication of what we can expect. If he catches about 50% of the games, that's about a month, depending on how Buck uses him at DH. I am not in favor of him DHing unless Paredes begins to slump.

Nobody ever said people can't dodge any question they want.

I'm fairly certain that addresses your questions/comments appropriately.

This is where I'm at. I think we're going to see a lot of weak grounders to 2B.

Settle down guys or take it to PM. Thanks.

That was one warning.

Consider this a second and final warning. Keep the personalities out of the discussion and stick with the points as presented.

Young got the start over Snider against a RHP again. David Lough also got the start over Snider. I think this tells s what Buck thinks of Snider
