So let's be realistic here:

We can send Wright down and bring up another starter in four days-Parmelee can stay till then.

What then? We can't send anther pitcher down.

We can't realistically have all of the following players on the roster for long: Parmelee, Davis, Paredes, Young, Snider, Lough, Pearce and Reimold. That is 8 OF/1B/DH.

As far as I know, none of them have options. So who do we get rid of?

We can always give Tanya Harding a call. Take your pick.

It would have to be Lough to me, unless they are that down on Snider. To me I would just leave the team alone right now. How can you expect Reimold to do much if you take at bats away from him? Paredes will start vs RHP at DH. If Snider is here he will play vs RHP. Nothing against the guy but I am not so sure we aren't better off with what we have.

To me, Young would be the odd man out.

Edit: maybe it would be Young because he has more trade value than Snider?

I think they value Young's bat too much. They like him for pinch hitting spots and his late season success. I know some people think that is hogwash but I think the Orioles believe that about him.

Lough plays defense and nobody else does:) I doubt it is Lough.

They could in theory trade him and go without a defensive specialist until the rosters expand. Britton is a ground ball pitcher. If Parmalee doesn't work out then Borbon could fill the Lough role. Just a thought.

That's pretty much the subject of this thread. My reading of it is that if Snider goes, we will have the current balance, and Reimold or Pearce will need to start against RHP. If Delmon goes, we will have one fewer bat against LHP, so Parms or Snider will need to start.

I think I would rather have more guys to start against RHP, so we say good bye to Delmon and take our chances with Parms or Snider against lefties. Snider will help us more against righties than Delmon will help us against lefties.

Agree on Borbon.

I think it's either Young or Snider, has to be.

We will find out soon enough. I remember 2 years ago they called up Travis Ishikawa for a little bit because he had an opt out and then wound up letting him go anyway. I think he plate some for the Yankees after that.

I just don't see any possible way they can DFA Lough over Young. Lough is a plus defender who still has 4 years of control left after this year.

Remember him playing the OF for the Giants last year in the playoffs? Craziness.

I agree with you. Must be Young or Snider. I would probably go with the one you can get the most for in a trade perhaps.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      First, the had a jump in 23’ given how terrible they had been previously, which conditions many fans in the marketplace not to care. They simple weren’t relevant for years. So one very good regular season will not undue years of being bad/irrelevant and treating your customers terribly. Next, I think they missed an opportunity in the offseason by not doing enough by way of big/bold attention grabbing moves. Now I acknowledge that this was most likely due to the ownership flux/transition. I believe they got an attendance/marketplace engagement boost when they changed owners and when they traded for Burnes. However, I believe we would have seen more engagement attendance with say a big Gunnar extension and/or bringing in a big time FA.   IMO this would have created more buzz before the season (say around the time people make season tix decisions - IMO before Christmas is when some people make those bigger purchases). All of this is to say, that it will take time and effort on the organizations part because of how bad of a stain that the Angeloses left. I still have friends and colleagues who refuse to support the Orioles and attend games due to the damage that was done. Rubenstien & co are not going to be able to undo 30 years of awfulness overnight. But IMO it is not enough to simply call it “a new chapter”. They have to make new/different actions to distinguish themselves from who the Orioles were/used to be under the Angelos regime.

      Just checking in on Gameday, Yankees looking incredibly vulnerable.  Should be the Os out there.  Super lame.  Whichever team wins this series I hope gets knocked out by CLE or DET.

      If the franchise were better, the fan base would be too.  It’s been a rough 40 years.

      Machado just hit a 2 run home run off of Yamamoto.  I hope the Orioles young players are taking notes.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By CTBear · Posted

      Yeah it was priced initially the same as the ALDS games, same as last year. Nobody was rushing to pay those prices. And by the time the tickets reached appropriate levels, by the Orioles lowering their prices or the secondary market coming down in price, fans have like 24 hours to figure out their plans to attend a mid afternoon game. It’s just not worth getting upset about — we still had an awesome crowd and the only thing missing was an offense to ignite it.
