Josh Reddick expressed his dissatisfaction with the fact that he's being platooned this season, and he lays the blame on Billy Beane.

That kind of spouting off got Donaldson dealt. Could Reddick be available? Should the O's care?

I used to think Reddick would be a perfect fit for us. But with the emergence of Parm, and better play from Snider, I just don't know if he's going to be worth it to trade for him. He's gone ice cold. Has a sub .500 OPS vs LHP. Plus we'd have to trade a package of prospects and lose Reimold or Lough off the 25 man. But with his OBP, GG defense and contract for next year, I'd make the move if the price was right.

For every time, there is a season.

If he complains to A's management about being platooned, how will he react with the inevitable platooning that would happen to him once he's on the Orioles? No thanks.

Joba was once as was Mr. Reddick. I do not want either.

Reddick has 2+ fWAR every year since 2011 including this year already. He's a lot like Markakis. Not as good as his peak year, but still a good starter. I'd take him, but like Nevermore said the platooning complaints wouldn't go away here.

Joba was a flamethrower that now throws 93-94 after injuries. Not a perfect comparison

287 .348 .469 .817 127(OPS+) 11HR, 49 RBI. Nah, we don't need that our COF are so much better. LF .226 .295 .362 .657, RF .291 .329 .450 .779

Yeah, I'd be all for Reddick. Our COF/DH mix is a good story but Reddick is a very good player.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      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.
