Parmelee has had less than 90 at bats. Too soon to cut the cord. He could still play a key role for us.
I would agree if it wasn't for the other 900 mediocre AB he's had in his career. Dime a dozen.

Even in this offensive environment his bat doesn't play at first.

He brings nothing to the table at all that we dont already have multiple options for

Good defense at 1b, controllable at possibility to develop into more, maybe not.

This board is funny. People hated him and called him 4a Fodder, then they were ready to pencil him in as starter for next year after a week and now he is garbage again.

My guess is they see something they like and there might be things going on behind the scenes.

To me, the better question is how in 2 years has DD been incapable of finding a suitable replacement for David Lough?

I hope the injury isn't serious.

Is this the first time since the start of the year before Schoop got hurt that we have a "normal", roster? Backup C, utility infielder and 2 other OF's and a 7 man pen.

An Organization we all can be proud of.

I don't see that is true for Parmelee. He was put through waivers on March 29th 2014 and no one claimed him. He was put through waivers on December 23, 2014 and no one claimed him.

He probably will pass through waivers because he has not done anything in the majors to get claimed.

If the O's offer to DFA'd him and send him to Norfolk for a month with the promise to bring him back in September when rosters expand, he would be a fool not to take it. No other team has shown the interest in Parmelee that the O's have shown.

Oh, by the way. Delmon has not signed with anyone as far as I know. And he has a major league track record. Wesley Wright is still in limbo and must be passed through waivers by the 24th. So other teams are not always clamoriing to get players the O's DFA.

Are you calling the Orioles bluff WC? If we make the PS, DY will come back to PH. :)

Let's hide Stevie on the DL until 9/1/15.

      Thank you. I knew there was something bogus about that post. I saw Cal play SS. And Gunnar is no Cal at SS. Not even close. And this is coming from a big fan of Gunnar. I would like to see him play a traditional power position. Call me old fashioned. He’s hurting the team at SS.

      Interesting.  We live in a data obsessed world now but it's not the answer to everything.  There should be a mix.

      I doubt solid MLB pitchers can be acquired just by trading position players the vast majority of the time.  Look at how we acquired Bradish and Povich -- by trading solid (at the time anyway) MLB level pitchers.  In those trades we were on the other end, but we forced teams to trade good young pitchers for Bundy and Lopez respectively.  Now we did acquire McDermott and Seth Johnson by trading Trey Mancini.  So it does happen that pitching can sometimes be acquired trading only a position player, but Mancini had had a strong major league career to that point.  My point is I don't think you can expect to acquire pitching only by trading position players -- but if you can it may need to be a strong veteran that is not easy to part with. Perhaps we could acquire Tarik Skubal for just Jackson Holliday -- or Holliday plus one or two other strong position prospects.  But that would be a whole other level of a blockbuster trade. Also, I'm not sure how we can say the system is bereft of homegrown minor league pitching talent and then complain that we traded Baumeister and Chace -- two homegrown minor league pitchers that everyone here seems to agree are talented.  We can criticize the trade, but clearly there was and probably still are some desirable arms in the system that we'd rather not trade.  No, none of the ones Elias drafted have made it to the bigs yet, but maybe those two would have been among the first.

      Seth Johnson on the Phillies' "philosophy": Orioles are data driven, Phillies are more "old school". I don't get much out of this but it's a data point. https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/seth-johnson-mlb-debut-phillies-orioles-trade/613582/ “I think the big thing is that Baltimore is very data-based,” he said. “Here’s a nice blend of the numbers and baseball strategy. Kind of old school. And I’ve been really enjoying it so far. For me, it’s kind of simplified everything. Concentrating on basic concepts like moving the fastball around. Not worrying about pitch shapes all the time. Just going out here and trying to pitch.”

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      If we have room, why wouldn't we add Pham and Van Loon just to have available depth in AAA (whether or not they are at risk of being taken)?

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      I think Young will be added, and that is it. I like Pham, but no AAA experience makes him unlikely to be taken. Whatever open spots should be used to upgrade the bullpen and other pitching depth. It is well documented here that we don’t have much beyond raw guys like Strowd and Heid. we lack flexibility and options. This has to change.
