Here are some names that might be available at the deadline Duke may be interested in:

OF:

David Murphy

Ben Zobrist

Josh Reddick

Ben Revere

Carlos Gomez

SP

Aaron Harang

Kyle Lohse

RP

Will Smith

----------------------

An upgrade in left field and another bullpen arm is what I think will happen again.

I like Ben Revere for 2nd in order and backup CF. He eliminates Lough and frees up a roster spot.

What would be the price for Will Smith? He is just hitting first year of arb, under control until 2020. Arguably, he is more valuable to them than Carlos Gomez, and Gomez is going to cost a lot. Andrew Miller cost Eduardo just for a two month rental. I don't see that one happening.

Unfortunately, I don't see any impactful lefty available for a rental type deal. Maybe Oliver Perez or Eric O'Flaherty, but both have struggled this year. O'Flaherty would be cool just for the novelty of a Flaherty and O'Flaherty on the same team.

I don't like Harang or Lohse any more than the guys we got right now.

Not sure why we need a more expensive version of David Lough.

Revere makes 8x as much as Lough. It's not like it would be a significant upgrade. And you'd have to give up a prospect or two for him. Not a good idea at all.

With Revere you'd be trading power and defense for steals. Steals are awesome. Can't we steal our way to the pennant?

I think we'll make a trade but we have to see how our own 25 man roster shakes out. We still have Schoop and W.Wright on rehab assignments. What to do with Norris. Then we have to see what the corner OF situation looks like. I could see a trade for a rental reliever.

That can't be right. Cargo is owed like $50M over the next 2.5 years, Snider makes in a year what he makes in a month. He has to be better. The Rockies paid for wins. The showed commitment to their fans. I don't get it.

I don't think you know who you speak of Carlos Gomez is a Brewer who has never been paid by the Rockies.

And is owed only 9 mill next year and had over a 4 war last year. So pssst he would be an upgrade.

      Vavra's nice spring

      By oriole · Posted

      Part of me feels like having guys like Vavra and Stowers on the roster is a waste. Neither are going to play terribly often, Frazier will be an almost every day player and Santander will play a good bit of OF. There’s just not a lot of room and we’ve seen how Hyde likes to manage veterans vs prospects.

      How much of the WBC have you watched?

      By oh-wee-ohs · Posted

      Yes. That seems more realistic. I just went to find the stat I saw and it was from a barstool account. Still bonkers.

      Vavra's nice spring

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      This is how I was thinking at the beginning of ST. Let Vavra start in AAA and play all over the place. However, his future role is as a utility guy, so why not let him just have that role now?     Does Cordero have an opt out if he doesn’t make the OD roster?  If so, that could factor into keeping Cordero.

      I think he's earned it too!  I like that Vavra has been given time at 3B this spring.  It would have been nice if he could have had some more than 1 total inning there in the minors last year...  They obviously don't like his defense at 2B but value his plate discipline.   Frazier = 2B/LF, Urias = 2B/3B, Gunnar = SS/3B, Mateo = SS/PR, Vavra = 3B/UT.  Tons of depth and flexibility to maximize hitting profile/pitcher match ups.  Not just R/L, but pitch mix too. We still have question marks in the IF as well.  Does Frazier's OBP bounce back?  Can Mateo hit like it's 2021 or is there a lower floor than 2022?  Can Gunnar improve on his cup of coffee last year?  Vavra is another layer of protection.

      MLB Pipeline ranks O’s farm system no. 1 (again)

      By Frobby · Posted

      “ The Orioles retain the top spot in the MLB Pipeline Farm System Rankings for the fourth consecutive time between preseason and midseason lists. Since Pipeline began ranking systems in 2015, only one other organization has claimed No. 1 four times in a row, and that was the Padres (2018 pre/mid, 2019 pre/mid). Baltimore and San Diego are also now tied with the most No. 1 rankings with four each; the Rays (three) are the only other club with more than one. “The baseball world caught sight of what’s coming to Charm City last year, when Adley Rutschman became AL Rookie of the Year runner-up and new No. 1 overall prospect Gunnar Henderson debuted in August. The result: a 31-win increase over 2021. There’s lots more where those two came from as the club attempts to return to the postseason for the first time since 2016. * * * “This makes four in a row in the top spot for the Orioles, and they keep things going even when guys graduate. Sure, Gunnar Henderson will be off prospect lists soon enough, but an MLB-leading eight total guys in the Top 100 helps cushion that blow -- and they have more who could land on that list soon. Beyond the elite-level guys, this system is still really deep, and the young talent is reaching Baltimore and starting to make some exciting things happen in the AL East.” https://www.mlb.com/news/farm-system-rankings-2023-preseason?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage
