Name checked Paredes, Wieters, Hardy, Parmelee, and Reimold in particular regarding the surge.

"We've got the team in the hunt again this year. The AL East is not down this year. Very competitive. I'm very happy where I am. I love Baltimore. Pedro Martinez is my favorite player of all time. Me and my family will make the trek to Cooperstown to honor him. We are going to win the AL East again and we will make the moves before the deadline to assure that. Just like we did last season when we acquired Andrew Miller at a high price."

Called out Chaz Roe and Ryan Flaherty as being big difference makers.

Called Flaherty a fine regular.

Thanks Weams! Good to know he's not going to Toronto, guess we can put that rumor to rest. ;)

To me that means that Pearce, Young, Lough, and Snider are the ones most likely on the bubble for a roster spot (although Snider I believe is safe). Shouldn't be too surprising.

Chris Russo asked him pretty much that. He said "How are you? Are you happy where you are?" It was not unsolicited.

So what can Dan acquire to help the O's win the pennant?

He said he will use minor leaguers to attractive GMs that are not in the race to acquire players. What is his bait?

One of Mike Wright, Tyler Wilson or Zach Davies.

Maybe 1B Christian Walker who has Chris Parmelee in front of this and Trey Mancini pushing behind him

You don't trade guys like Tyler Wilson or Mike Wright who have proven to be valuable players for the Orioles this year. Trade unproven guys like Bundy, Harvey, Davies, etc. I doubt Dan will trade Wilson or Wright and I am thankful for that. He traded an unproven pitcher last year for Miller and I hope he does the same again.

And ERod has proven to be valuable this year. Don't really see the logic here. Wilson and Wright are easily in play because there are pitchers behind them.

Papelbon -- just make sure he doesn't close out more than 20 games.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Wavetrapper · Posted

      There have been 2-3 times when it seemed logical to call him up but they don’t.   I’ve never understood this thing they have for Baker.  Hey, Cole Irvin is available again!!

      While we lost some talented players, I think the consensus was some of the players we lost were actually blocking more talented prospects. The loss of Westburg and Urias should have been mostly offset by Holliday and Mayo. Instead, they were truly abysmal.  Povich had some nice moments but he was disappointing as well.  Maybe our expectations were too high - Elias is not going to hit on every prospect, and even the ones that turn out good may take a while to adjust. Still, I think it is fair to have expected more out of Mayo and Holliday since the organization deemed them ready to promote.  In addition to the prospects, you had Adley hit a wall, going from a 6 WAR pace to replacement level, and Cowser and O'Hearn both struggling.  Certainly injuries hurt us, but we should have been strong enough to overcome them. Maybe not to sustain a 105 win pace but I think it is fair to say we should have been able to beat 95 wins and win the division even with the injuries.

      I was wondering what the knee-jerk reaction would be to an ugly game last night, but the truth is that the bullpen is fine, as is the rest of the team. We lack a true lockdown closer, but we have six arms by my count that are very good relievers in Akin, Perez, Coulombe, Webb, Cano, and Domingez. And you can add Suarez to that list next week, and possibly Povich, who should also make the PS roster as a lefty long relief option to mirror Suarez. Anyway, that game could have and would have gone much differently, IMO, if it were a playoff game. Burnes obviously stays in longer and gets at least through the top of the order if not back down to the bottom third to hand it over to the bullpen. Hopefully we'd be able to scratch out some runs, but that's not the bullpen's fault.  This is an extremely good team with a lead. Let's hope we get on the board early and often starting tonight.

      Boy, Brandon Young who has some decent numbers at Norfolk must be injured or unimpressive to the front office to not even get a look for this bullpen. Bryan Baker is almost a waste of a call up.

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      Povich is off vs Detroit at least. Even if they carry a 9 man pen, Doubt that 5 will be left handers

      I hate to say it because they are all eligible to succeed or fail ( DC just coming back ), would probally go with Soto.
