  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

Davies trade is the dumbest moment of DD's Orioles career. It capped off an absurd decision to not sell. We'd have better pitching now, $22M back, and the #14 pick.

I can defend other decisions, at least a bit, anyway.

I wish he had gone to Toronto.

Well, maybe this year if we are tied for the last wildcard spot we will sell. We should always sell unless we have a 14 game lead for the division.

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

Hader, 1.29 ERA, 7 IP, 9k, 3 BB, batters hit .192 off him

Davies, 3.60 ERa, 10 IP, 9K, 2 BB, batter s hit .189 off him.

Davies would be in our rotation this year. Hader would be our top prospect. Just saying.

If Davies can't crack the Brewers rotation, why would he be in ours?

You will not get an argument from me!

Thank you! I felt like I was on an island. DD really hurt this team last year by not trading away some pieces when our team simply wasn't good enough to go far (even if we lucked into last WC spot). Bad assessment by the GM. And trading for Parra was unnecessary. If he was so concerned, he would have resigned Cruz or addressed OF prior to the season.

Sorry, end rant:)

I was in the blow it up camp last year. I just don't post all that often. Sure we would have had a few years of losing but it would have been better in the long run.

But with that being said. I'm not sure I would trust Duquette with a fire sale either. He's not very shrewd when it comes to trades. I think other GM's know this.

I don't understand the "felt like I was on an island" point. Look at the poll in this thread -- opinion was divided almost exactly 50-50 as to whether the Davies for Parra trade was a good idea. That's a pretty big island you were on.

Not only the poll, the thread was pretty even. I was hotly engaged with a number of poster that thought it was a good idea.

Dan really hurt the team being open to being poached for five times the money he is making. I am glad we kept him, but I would be delusional to think that the incident did not have an effect on the team.

I wanted to try to win last year myself. Obviously Parra was not what the team needed. Tony was always very high on Davies and he looked ok the couple times I saw him on the island. I value Tony's opinion on players. He was never as good as Eduardo in my opinion. They were both good arms.

For a much bigger reason, he should have traded more pieces. It's not just about Parra, as the poll was, but bad assessment by the GM.

Sorry, I can't blow up a team 1 game out of a playoff spot on July 30th. The goal every season is to make the post season....if you are close you have to go for it....if you are 10 games out of a WC spot, then you sell.

No one can. And no man who gets paid to do that. One of the 30 on earth, does it.

      How much faith do you have in Elias to address the needs this month?

      By ChipTait · Posted

      I have a ton of faith in the FO, but the way the poll was worded, had to cast my vote a little lower.   We won't know for years - if ever - which offers were made but rejected. Grayson has given everything I was hoping for from Bradish.  Burnes has exceeded the hype.  So, we need to replace the #3/#4 pitcher we expected Grayson to be.  Suarez is still a great surprise.  Kremer, in my mind, is trending upward.  A solid #3 would be thrilling. On the reliever front, one solid (non-elite) leverage-type reliever can push Tate/Baker/Akin back to Tidewater and make the whole BP look better.  And Coloumbe returns for the push. I guess I'm saying we don't need an ace and a closer, but a #3 and a 7th inning specialist.  Should be doable.

      Faith.  I hope he trades all of the prospects that are clearly blocked, and get some players we can use.

      Outfield PA the rest of the way

      Hays has certainly hit a lot better lately but he is just feasting on LHP’s. His wRC+ against RHP’s is 73, so he should not be taking any AB’s away against RHP’s from Cowser (or Mullins/Kjerstad/Santander assuming they are all healthy).  So much has been made about Cowser’s offense (for good reason) that it seems like the fact that he’s been the best defensive player on the team on a per game basis gets lost. With his defense and base running value, he doesn’t even have to be a great hitter to be valuable, like Kjerstad. His floor is closer to Mullins, yet it seems like he’s judged very differently. Put another way, if Mullins had Cowser’s overall offensive line right now, with his exit velo’s and quality of contact, nobody would be calling for him to lose playing time. It just seems odd that a rookie that has been so good defensively and has so many good offensive qualities (average exit velocity, chase rate, barrel %) is getting so much heat right now. He definitely does need to be better with RISP and in high leverage situations, and shouldn’t get an unlimited leash, but he’s not going to get better unless he keeps getting chances to work things out. And if he does work things out (as we saw in April) or even can replicate his season line to date the rest of the way, he’s likely the most valuable OF’er on the team.

      I was definitely joking around, but I bet the combined career WAR of several if not the majority of teams top ten will be less than the WAR the Orioles get out of Henderson.    ps. The entire top ten of a team, not the ten lists of multiple teams. Is that clear? My sleep gummy is kicking in, I’m in a legal state, and, well, grammar and writing clarity is getting challenging.

      Elias has to get off his butt and trade him. Peak trade value now.        😃
