2016 First Baseman Is......?

[TonySoprano]

WADR to Redskins Rick, I think this is more of a question than who will be at shortstop. I have very real doubts that the Orioles will be bringing back Chris Davis. It's very likely that he'll test the market given Boras is his agent. Moreover, his production, while having rebounded this year, may not be worth a large long-term deal. Other than Davis, here are the free agents according to MLBTR:

Jeff Baker (35)

Edwin Encarnacion (33) ? $10MM club option with a $2MM buyout

Garrett Jones (35)

Justin Morneau (35) ? $9MM mutual option with a $750K buyout

Mike Napoli (34)

Sean Rodriguez (31)

Who do you project as the Orioles first baseman in 2016?

If he continues to hit...

Jimmy Paredes (27)

Will the Orioles give Christian Walker a shot, or will they make a trade? The free agent list doesn't excite me.

[Il BuonO]

Parmalee.

Parmelee, Clevenger, Walker. We're pretty short on internal options for LF/RF. I'd like to see a FA signing or a trade for a more long term solution.

No excitement here either. Thinking Walker, Pearce or Parmelee. I guess a trade is always possible, but not very likely with this team.

I'm not sure they'll want to bring back Pearce either.

Scott Hatteberg.

Sorry, just saw Moneyball for the first time. Hah.

[Crazysilver03]

If the Orioles keep Clevenger I could see him being in the mix.

Don't you think we will do what the Marlins did?

What is Joe Mahoney up to these days?

Emergency catcher! WIN!

[El Gordo]

Pearce, Paredes, Parmalee, Clevenger; some combination there off.
