Do you like the Davies for Parra trade?

  1. 1. Do you like the Davies for Parra trade?

    • I approve. A small price to pay to fix the O's OF hole with a quality veteran.
      95
    • I disapprove. The O's gave up up a pitching prospect for a rental who won't move the needle.
      98

You laugh, but DD is insane. He might do it. Just watch.

You really think he might do that, even though it would leave a huge hole in the rotation and make it impossible to compete? Or, are you being sarcastic? I can't tell.

I hate when people say "Well, you are only so many games from a wildcard, so you have to go for it, right?". To me the answer there is and should be "it depends". The O's are just 2 games back of that

330 OBP for his career. Nothing to get excited about.

I'm talking about this season. He actually put up 4 wins on D in 2013. He just isn't playing great D this year, but he is getting on base better than just about anyone other than Manny.

I don't know what I believe. I really held out hope he might do the right thing and sell. I am not a big fan of DD right now. My stress level will go down once the deadline passes and he doesn't give up more prospects we can't afford to trade.

Parra's actually getting on base at a better clip than Manny this season.

He's rocking a 370 BABIP and his career wRC+ is 95.

He's as or more likely to fall back to career norms as he is to continue at his current level.

Not too many guys become a totally different hitter their sixth year in the league.

I don't like the trade. I said "at least he's getting on base" kind of sarcastically. I feel like you think I'm okay with the move. I hate it.

Fire breathing space cats! This piece is a metaphor for Duquette and the pressures of being a GM in the AL East. I encourage you to meditate on it and find what it means to you. Is he vaporizing the competition? The farm system? You decide.

It's a cat. It could be spitting fire on just about anything--just because it feels like it.

I think it perfectly represents the Dodgers over the last few years. Why do they make the moves they do? Because they can.

I like those odds. What are the odds that Snider becomes the guy he was the 2nd half of last year?

Just realize that Travis Snider has been about a win better with the glove than Parra so far this season. This team is supposed to be built around D.

      They also haven’t announced the times, yet.

      Well, I don't like to predict things on message boards but my prediction is we will not acquire two pitchers with a better Zips projection than Kremer. I would be more surprised by two than I would be by zero.

      You can’t ignore how he pitched against Detroit and the makeup of their roster. He has more value than even Suarez if that is who we end up playing.

      So it is different from last year? Last year the games were something like 3:00, 4:30, 7:00, and 8:30.   Have they said it will be different this year???

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense. I prefer to play NY. Worse pen, doesn’t run as much.  Not a bunch of contact hitters.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.
