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

Manny has 21 homeruns and 17 solo shots. That's a waste.

Manny is comfortable leading off. He looked awful this week in the #3 hole. Wait until the off-season to move him out of the top of the order. Most of those 17 solo shots happened in an inning other than the 1st.

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

Parra OPS/month career:

Apr: .708

May: .762

Jun: .757

Jul: .766

Aug: .689

Sep : .730

His present .880 is not supported by his career numbers, and Aug/Sep have historically been his worst months.

I'll guess we get .700 -.725 for our 60 game rental

NONE of his .884 is supported by his monthly OPS - he is on a tear and hopefully that will help propel us to the playoffs - which is the 1st of a two part goal.

Somewhat true, but in theory the 7th, 8th, 9th batters won't be on as much as the 9th-2nd batters in general.

This isn't the National League. I'd rather have Manny get the extra ABs over the course of the year.

EDIT: I should clarify that. I'd rather have Manny get the extra ABs over the course of the year if there isn't a better option in the lead-off spot. He was the best option to lead-off the first 100 games of this season, but Parra is a better option now.

And I am just saying that Parra is not the lock you claim him to be. He might very well be more of the same.

Dude.

Well, no rental player is a lock to carry you to the championship. I would have rather gotten Cespedes or Upton as a rental, but the demands of Detroit and San Diego were way too high, and it was clear that Davies wasn't going to get either of those players. All in all, Parra isn't all that bad at the cost, once the decision to go for it and get a rental was made.

IMO the big loser in this as of now is Detroit. With Cabrera out for another month or so, and being a few games out of the last playoff spot, they understandably decided to sell. They have already traded Price and their closer. By being ridiculous in what they asked for Cespedes, they look like they will lose out. They could have had Davies, but insisted on Gausman, which would never happen. Now, they look like they may well get nothing and Cespedes will walk at year-end with no comp pick.

My verdict: incomplete.

If they extend Parra or win the WS, it's a great trade. A 2 win outfielder that fits the team philosophy is much more valuable than a prospect of Davies' caliber, and the bust potential associated therewith, IMO.

If Parra walks, it's pretty terrible.

Many wanted Aoki this past offseason, but Dan ignored him. Isn't this the same guy, with a little better D?

I certainly understand that Dan was distracted while dominating the Rule V and Minor League free agency of course....

That and parra hasn't missed a month of the season and hasn't done a thing since he's been back.

I'm not getting any younger I want to see the O's in the playoffs. Snider et. al. isn't going to do it for me. Parra might. Who is Davies? The next CY? I doubt he's the next Ed Rod. We need someone who can get on base in front of Manny.

Are they going to extend him or just leave more gaping holes in the OF after this season?

      Whether it is Juan Soto, Corey Seager or Yordan Alvarez, I think building a pen for the AL playoffs the Cionel guy will win tiebreaks over the Baumann guy this early. I hope they really get crowded out with multiple strong performers but if July only brings 1 fancy thing, Cionel and Coulombe can start preparing. If the big 3 starters hold together, even Means and Irvin get smushed to that role.

      I wasn't even thinking of you, you little piece of trash.  You're insignificant on this board.  Nobody thinks about you or cares what you have to say.   I was referring to Sports Guys little laughing emoticon on the OP, which is passive aggressive, and I thought funny, because the OP was objectively accurate. GFY.

      Hyde is saying it will be a six man rotation soon so arguably Irvin doesn't count. DFA Perez would have made it 5/2 among the "permanent" bullpen guys. Plus Perez has stretches when he is lights out. If he finds it at the right time he could be a weapon in October.

      Apparently, Cionel’s dad hasn’t entered Roy’s inner buddy circle.

      While Adley is a valid data point, he had extenuating circumstances, and I still think Gunnar doesn't really qualify.  If you shifted Gunnar's stats from August/September 2022 to April 2023 and shifted the rest of his stats forward, then his slump would look like any old midseason slump.  A lot of players go through months where they OPS less than .700.  A lot of starters, especially shortstops struggle to have months where they OPS more than .700.  It doesn't seem noteworthy or indicative of rookie lumps.  If you combine his September 2022 stats with his April 2023 stats he was still an above-average hitter playing good defense at a premium defensive position.  Even during his slump, he was an overall average-player because of his position and defense, and he was 21.  A guy who I would more associate with rookie lumps would be Anthony Volpe; Gunnar's wRC+ in April was better than Volpe's full-season wRC+.

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

      By RZNJ · Posted

      I’d say that would surprise me for a few  reasons.  First, it sounds like he’s already low in the defensive spectrum.  Sure, we can think of 1 first rounder (Kjerstad) who fit that bill but only 1.   Second, Law said White tends to chase out of the zone.  The O’s are very big on chase rates.   Third, I believe he’s a RH hitter.   Strike 3.

      Meh, I think they’re both pretty replaceable but still trust Perez more. Since the beginning of last year, Perez has a 3.82 ERA, 3.80 FIP, 4.53 xFIP, and has been worth 0.5 WAR in 61.1 innings. Baumann has a 3.69 ERA, 4.41 FIP, 4.77 xFIP, and has been worth 0 WAR in 83 innings.  I do agree that Baumann being able to go multiple innings is beneficial, but it seemed like half the time they wanted to use him for multiple innings, he couldn’t throw strikes and then his outing ended early. Cionel’s 2022-2023 numbers definitely saved him (2.43 ERA), but he could easily be the next guy dropped from the BP.
