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

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

He looks good at the top of the order, that's for sure. I don't know that he's an upgrade considering he's been basically average for his entire career and is suddenly killing the baseball. I saw someone mention that his defense has been poor this year. And of course, being a rental makes this a complete head scratcher... what we're ultimately doing is replacing Parmalee with Chris Davis and replacing Davis in the OF with Parra. That doesn't seem to be the kind of move I'd make if I was serious about improving the lineup to win a title.

On the other side, I like Zach Davies, but he was always pitching way ahead of where everyone thought he should be. I don't know if it's his height or what, but he was defying odds. Was it all going to come crashing down? Who knows. I guess we'll find out shortly.

He said "giant leap", that debatable.

Regardless, he is right. Awful trade.

Parra has been worth -2.1 dWAR this year (-.7 at each OF spot). By the way, we have a pitching staff predicated on superior defense. He is a lot better offensively.

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.

Last night i was rallying against the move but i have warmed up to it. With the addition of Gunkel it makes it easier to part with one of the ML ready arms. Would have preferred someone better than Parra but will root for him nonetheless.

I started thinking this morning that if you are within reach you should try to go for it since you never know when you will have a disaster season when built well.

Will be interesting to see who comes off the active roster for him.

For his career, including this year, he has been very good in right field, which is where I assume he's going.

This is probably what Os are hoping for and desperately need.

@masnSteve: In 31 games this year when batting leadoff, Parra is hitting .384/.432/.632 with 1.064 OPS.

And two years ago he had great WAR defensive numbers. I would take those numbers with a grain of salt and judge for yourself when he gets here.

To me it's simple. Parra will clearly help us in LF and batting leadoff. Better yet, Manny can slip down to two or three where he should be hitting. Will we sign Parra in the offseason?

Yes: This is a great deal

No: This is a very poor deal

It's that simple to me.

Paul, you need to add a "meh" option to the poll. Davies is nothing special but I'm not particularly high on Parra as a player and I don't think he'll make a difference on whether this team makes the postseason or not.

I'm kinda here too. Parra is better than what we're trotting out there now, so he helps. I don't get upset when we try to win.

Though I'm not looking forward to each new thread when Davies records an out.

Davies and Hader back in the same org now.

      Royals Series 4/19-4/21

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Orioles are in sweet and tangy bbq land to play the Fightin' Bob Hamelins for a three game set starting tonight. Fri:  7:40 EST start:  Dean Kremer vs. Alec Marsh Sat:  7:10 EST start:  Corbin Burnes vs. Cole Ragans Sun:  2:10 EST start:  Cole Irvin vs. Seth Lugo KC enters the series 1 game back of the Cleveland Thomes and they're 7-3 over their last 10.  Despite their recent history of ineptitude, they look to be improved this year in the poverty stricken AL Central and they can still give us a hard time.  Lefty Ragans is off to a good start which means we'll be down Ryan O'Hearn for Austin Hays as is Sunday starter Lugo. Bobby Witt 2.0 has an OPS of .997 and already at 1.6 WAR, Old Man Perez is at .943 and Vinnie Boom Bats is .853.

      This would be fine by me.I know some people said they don't want a bigger scoreboard  Also Nationals Park is upgrading the speaker system but didn't finish the whole upgrade for this  season.         The offseason upgrades (off-the-field variety) that could have the biggest effect on fan experience are to the scoreboard displays in the ballpark. The Nationals replaced their main scoreboard, their out-of-town scoreboard in right-center field and their ribbon boards with state-of-the-art LED displays that feature much higher resolution than the previous models. The size of the main scoreboard is unchanged, but the difference in quality is noticeable, and the clearer and brighter display will feature enhanced statistics and graphics.

      Westburg exceeded rookie eligibility limits last year exceeding 130 at bats and more than 45 days on the active roster. On the plus side he might qualify as a super sophomore or at the very least avoid the sophomore slump.

      Westburg shouldn’t be, where are you seeing that?

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time
