I have a feeling that we did, but it takes two to tango. Although, the same thing applies now. I don't know how much interest there is in Bud right now.

Someone will sign him next year with back of the rotation intentions. This season, though... no, he's ours til the end.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

LOTS of folks were talking about trading Norris. I mostly understood what Dan was doing this offseason, but I think it is fair to say he dropped the ball on this one. Perhaps he was thinking Bud would put up another good year and be in line for a QO, so he needed to get back something more valuable than a pick? That's the only thing I can think of.

Similar to De Aza, someone would trade us a lower level prospect for Bud and some money, then use him as a long reliever/spot starter.

Assuming Gausman is indeed healthy I would be OK with that turn of events.

Can we trade Young to the Yankees while we are at it, he'd be an upgrade for them defensively.

Or he tried and his price was higher then almost free.

With the year he had in 2014 the O's should have been asking for more then salary relief.

The O's already have a Dariel Alvarez type. Wait a month.

Not that trading Norris is a bad idea. Wright and Gausman may be better than Bud in the 2nd half.

I still think Bud would be quite useful in the bullpen and this may very well become his second half role.

Given the number of ABs it took Alvarez to figure out AAA pitching, I would hesitate to bring him up this year before September callups. Let him get his feet wet next April and May.

      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?
