I know some posters were very disappointed that Travis Snider and De Aza were given a MLB slot and Dariel was not.

I know at least one poster who was very disappointed the O's kept wasting resources on lower end Cuban talent while ignoring the actual difference makers.

Were the Orioles able to afford them? The difference makers?

Whatever he was doing this spring he has reverted to his old ways. Orioles do not perceive him as a CF either. Wall To Wall
Is this something Roch whispered in your ear? Can't find it on MASN. If this were true why would it be something the O's would publicize?

Can someone type a little more clearly what I'm supposed to take from this thread? What does "he has reverted to old ways" mean?

Impatience at the plate. Lack of strike zone control. I guess strikeouts without the walks. Other than that Roch was vague. It was on the show that he said the Orioles are "disappointed with Dariel Alvarez."

Is OPS has been disappointing but the weather is starting to warm up. I don't get the part about being a CF. We have Jones. Our back up CF plays like 30 innings a year. He's actually cut down on his strikeouts from last year. Last year he had 27 in 183 PA's. This year he has 23 in 248 PA's. He's hitting into a ton of DP's (10). He's looking like a poor mans delmon young with better defense.

Well it was just Roch talking. He may be hearing that from someone that is just blowing smoke too. Or Dempsey. Or maybe Dempsey blowing smoke.

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      I'm a big fan.  It doesn't mean I have sources in the clubhouse. Do we have any idea who her sources are?  Does she have any kind of track record of having reliable sources?

      I don't know who this woman is and I don't do Twitter. And this is what I touched on in the other thread: I don't know what the best path forward is b/c I don't know exactly what the problem is. I don't think Hyde needs to go, but if this is true- and I have no idea if it is or not- he should be gone. The talk of veteran leaders brings questions.  What was insufficient of the leadership of Satandaner, Mullins, Burnes, and Kimbrel?

      Sig for me is notably rigorous trying to combat this.    I feel pretty sure he had a say in crafting his very geeky title, a reflection of his personal brand. We'll see how it goes here if it becomes recommending Adam Frazier and Kyle Gibson as correct for the roster once again.

      Again, I'm not sure what the point of contention is. They won 91 games and lost in the Wildcard round.  That puts them smack in the middle of what I forecast as their most likely outcome, though I did hope for more playoff success.  I'm not sure how that is proof I misevaluated anything. Further, again, lecturing me about the importance of depth, when I'm one of the biggest hoarders on this board, and you're one of the biggest opposite of that, is ironic to say the least.

      Aaron Judge whined about it so I’m a fan.  The older I get, the more I think people just exist to look for confirmation biases. In all avenues of life. Paul Simon wrote “a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.” I’m sure if we beat the Royals and advanced and Walltimore robbed three or four homers from the Royals, we’d be extolling its virtues and how great it is.    But that didn’t happen. If anything, there were a couple instances where, if anything, it worked against us.    So here we are.

      I mean I wouldn’t be concerned about her opinions on which FA to sign or which players are best. But, she’s definitely a big fan and is just passing off info given to her. If it didn’t track into some other things that make sense, I wouldn’t pay it much mind. Of course, someone with an agenda could’ve just told her those things to spread rumors. Maybe Rick Dempsey haha.

      Do you think any team is too stupid to account for home park dimensions when evaluating pitchers?
