Didn't we just sign our SS to a 4 year extension?

Someone should bump the Hardy signs extension thread, and see how according to98% of the posts we were set at SS until 2019

3-year extension. Through 2017, not 2019.

If healthy Hardy will be the SS for all 3 seasons.

and I dont remember it being 98% in favor of keeping him.

I think most of us thought there was risk involved, but SS is such a limited option int he FA and trade world, and that you had an elite with the glove defender in Hardy, you roll the dice.

Sure. I thought it was a good deal at the time and still do. I think he'll recover some power while still playing good defense. He does so many little things around the bag that are very underrated. Tags, receiving throws, turning DPs, etc.

Exactly. I hope he can stay healthy. But He is a very important part of our team.

Not to mention that he is my favorite Oriole

It's going to be JJ Hardy. Thread closed.

Now that Hardy has played a full 20 games of replacement level baseball it is clear that this is his new expected output. Shut it down. No decent player has ever had 75 mediocre plate appearances and returned to be a successful player. Plus he will be 33 in less than three months. Might as well fit him for a back brace.

Despite a .508 OPS he is still a replacement level player by fWAR because of his defense. Even if his offense only rebounds to .650 OPS he will still earn his contract as long as he maintains his current defensive level.

      Are we done?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I understand the importance of team chemistry. Not sure I understand at all the reference to the Yankees. Their chemistry appears to be fine from what I can tell. Maybe you have some inside info there? Our chemistry based on recent media revelations and Hays’ parting shot does not appear to be as good as you are stating. Furthermore, even if our chemistry is superb, the problem is that “chemistry” is not very effective on the mound. Our pitching has been horrible (near the bottom of the league) for over a month now (since Bradish’s injury). It does not appear that team chemistry has the ability to fix that.

      Grade the Hays for Dominguez/Pache trade

      They needed the 40 man spot as well.  They are guessing Nittoli makes it through waivers.

      Organizational Turmoil?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      Many major league players don’t make a top 100 prospect list. Stowers has a .797 OPS. What else does he need to do? We’ve picked up a kid from the Phillies who has proven over 3 or 4 seasons that he’s not a MLB hitter and can’t be sent down. It was a stupid pick up…. Get the reliever and a A ball player.

      Hays traded to Phillies

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Marsh can flex to CF like Cowser.     I hope Hays gets a clean look at returning to closer to an everyday role. Roch on the pregame show went to the place of wondering aloud if Hays' agent asked for a trade.    Ulitmately whether Dombrowski tenders Hays or not, Austin can use playing time to establish his place in the 2025 market, or how high the Bid/Ask will be for Arb. A few minutes later, Melanie featured that  Mullins and Hays had picked up a charitable effort Gibson did last year, an organization having an event this weekend Cedric will now have to do alone.

      Orioles acquiring Zach Eflin

      Out of all our prospects, you valued Etzel the most?

      I think you have to be careful with a big trade like that. The reason why we are so good now has a lot to do with team chemistry. Splitting up all these talented teammates will turn you into the Yankees if you’re not careful- not knowing if they will gel as a team. You can’t put a price on the chemistry many of these players have built up over the years.

      Clubhouse issues?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      Norby looks fine to me so far…. Tripping appeared to be nerves to me and I’m willing to give him a pass. Kjerstad needs to be grommet at 1B or just DH imo. Maybe hidden in RF…but playing him in LF here is beyond stupid. Even before last night I’ve said several times that he just looks shaky.
