The Orioles should take on all of Sanders contract but ask for Huber as well.

Offer them Williams and a mid level prospect for Sanders and Huber. Take on all 5 million of Sanders contract.

That sounds more inviting.... are they any sites with spring training stats for the minor leagues?

Here is why i make that trade:

1) We aren't going to use the young guys, so at least get a better player in here.

2) Sanders, if he can stay healthy, has more trade value at the deadline than Williams does.

If we aren't going to use the young guys, dump the manager and the front office and hire someone who has a clue.

Sanders will be dead of old age by the trade deadline.

Even Rotoworld gets it:

Eduardo Perez-DH- White Sox Mar. 27 - 11:19 pm et

White Sox released first baseman Eduardo Perez.

There surely should be a place in the majors for Perez, who was 11-for-22 with three homers this spring. Maybe the Orioles will want him around to crush left-handers

And

Justin Huber-DH- Royals Mar. 10 - 1:11 am et

Justin Huber homered and singled in his two plate appearances Friday in the loss to the Angels.

Royals GM Dayton Moore parted with a few undesirables in the offseason, but Huber stuck around, even though his only action in the majors last year came in May. With Ross Gload around as protection for Ryan Shealy and Billy Butler showing he'll be ready if needed, it probably wouldn't take much of an offer to get the Royals to trade the 24-year-old Huber this spring.

Huber this Spring:

.391 .444 .565

Huber is a guy we should be going after. He could solve our first base problems.

Go after Huber and Sanders!

Who cares weither the 25th man is young or old. We are not looking for someone to be the future of the O's OF. None of Sanders, Duboid/Knott etc. fit that description.

We need a guy who can play LF adequately for 25 games or so, DH and be a good RH situational hitter with some power, off the bench. Sanders or Perez are exactly that. For 150 -200 AB spread out over the season they are a much better bet to produce than one of three guys who have never hit in the ML and have put up their numbers playing full time, something they will never do for the O's.

      Well, I do think David Rubenstein bought the team thinking he can grow the pie by building on what Elias has done with the on-the-field product and showing the fan base some love and respect.  It will be interesting to see if he’s right.  I hope he is.

      Wait....I already said that he doesn't dead lift, squat, or bench 500 pounds, let alone the 800 pounds as you said. I literally just said yesterday his Bench was maybeeeeee 300 with the help of pads and the sling shot, and his squat was 400.  Is that anywhere near 500 or the 800 that you claimed? So please, tell me where I said he was doing 500 pounds seriously?  I said that above sarcastically in response to your continued assertions that JH was doing elite power lifting numbers.  Which was ridiculous.  Just lol.

      I would agree.  He needs a complete reset.  Complete rest.  Starting to remind me more and more of Dylan Bundy.  A guy who FOR SURE early in his baseball life trained too hard.  Played too hard.  Took baseball too hard as a possible career.  By the time he grew into an adult man, he wasn't the player he was as a kid and young man.  Both mentally and physically.  I said this in an earlier post, but unlike most athletes, JH seems to have been groomed from the time he was 3 to be a baseball player.   He may already have the body of a 27 year old when it comes to wear and tear.   And I am sure since all he has ever done is baseball, there is a part of him mentally that is just tired. That is why with my son and daughter (5 and 9  ) I encourage them to play any and all sports, but focus on none.  Your true abilities in any sport will eventually come out.    Just don't over do it.  Even Tiger broke down from his dads complete obsession with making him the best.  The fact that Tiger actually did it is a testament to his mental strength.  That being said.......if you can get a boatload for him now?  I would do it.  I said it yesterday but he is not a special athlete.  He is a very good baseball player.  But not an elite athlete  despite what Corn says.   And this injury is not a good sign of what is to come.

      Keith Law has O's taking Tommy White at #22 in latest mock draft

      By Jim'sKid26 · Posted

      I like college bats after #10 until the end of the first round. My preference is for them to have some defensive value if possible. I like the idea of using comp picks to try to get high end high school bats. Its a risk/reward type of pick. I would have to know why they, (Burns and Smith) fell to that level. Pitchers break and that's a lot of money for a broken pitcher. I'd be very cautious, in other words.

      I characterize “winning” as having a winning culture and established high level of play.  I don’t think we had that in the 2012-2016 run.  I think even the most orange tinted glasses saw that was a very short window with nothing to come after.  What we have now, and what the Ravens have established, is the ground work for continued winning and high level play. Above and beyond the on field accomplishments the organization is doing all the right things off the field and nurturing a relationship with the fans in a “winning” manner.  Winning was never the focus in the past.  Even the most ardent haters can see that winning is here for the foreseeable future on and off the field.
