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

Ok I don't remember that but I believe you guys. Anyhow he did bring some good talent to the team that went on to win the wild card in 2012.

Andy already brought some good talent to Philadelphia. They had assets to sell as well. With a horrible losing team to boot. I like Andy as a GM or President for a rebuilding team.

Lol you're reaching man. You know a well as I do McPhail had a good hand in putting this team in the right direction.

rift to do so.

I am not reaching at all. It would have been hard to screw up the sell off. It would have taken Syd Thrift to do so. I also like Andy a lot. And Know that he is a local MacPhail.

That's fair. I couldn't do half as good as these guys that have the job I'm just not a big fan of DD. that's all.

I've tried to forget about the Syd Thrift years. Please don't take my mind back to that.

Sorry to hear that. Find the facts to support that as you need to. I'm happy that we have watched a winning team for a few years. Dan is not lovely - but he is one of the smarter men in any room we could assemble of folks we could meet.

I'm happy to have watched a winning team the past few years myself. I'm 31 so I wasn't even a teenager when the team was any good in the past. I'm loving the winning and the reason I'm iffy on DD is because of how he's handled the system so far.

And I haven't said anything about him being smart or one of the smartest men. This team has been bad for years and got high draft picks for a good bit of years so Dan among others have all missed on the draft.

I question if DD is good for the O's. And I do believe his mind left when the Tor job was up for grabs. I don't blame him but as an O's fan I want someone all in on the O's. Am I wrong? Am I wrong to question the player development and farm system? Or am I supposed to throw on orange glasses and think this team is stacked and gonna be a contender every year?

I am also happy to watch a winning team. It gives my wife and I something in common to talk about. And we love following the Orioles from Spring Training through the off season

Sorry, my point is this: Is the winning more to do with Dan or Buck?

I think it is Buck.

But I do think the people on this site have no knowledge of the inner workings of the team or front office. As a result we can not really have a firm opinion either way.

Exactly, nothing more.

I like Gerardo Parra a lot. He is a complete player. Very good defensively with a rocket for an arm. Useful offensive player with speed and some pop in the bat. He is exactly the kind of guy that I would like to have for the next several years holding down a corner outfield position. But we needed a good bit more than just Parra for this year, and this year is all we have him for. So, I am pretty Meh on this trade. If we sign Parra to a deal this offseason I will give the trade a thumbs up. If we do not, I will give it a thumbs down.

If we can get him for that I would be thrilled. Heck, I would be happy with 3/24. But I think it will take a 4 year deal to sign him. 4/32? I think he would be worth that too.

Resigning him has little to do with the trade. There's no expectation of resigning him, and even if they did it would be at a value quite similar to what he'd get on the market in a few months. The only benefit I see is that they avoid a situation where the Brewers could have given him a QO and costing the O's a pick. So you could argue that they traded Davies for a) two months of Parra, b) the value of a compensatory draft pick ($7M?) and c) a few months of exclusive negotiation. But that's only if he's resigned - if he's not its just two months of Parra.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.

      I agree I missed the mark on a correct forum, and ask a moderator to please relocate to Rants as that game annoyed me yesterday. I appreciate the strong moderators here and know I'm not one of them.     Sorry for making it worse at a tough moment.

      Nail hit on head. It really comes down to the offense in the playoffs for us. I think our pitching is good enough overall especially the starters. Shaky sometimes sure, but they can hold their own most of the time. If we don't bring our "A" hitting game in the playoffs we won't go far.

      The bullpen has warts for sure, but if this offense doesn't figure out how to hit good pitching in the playoffs, the bullpen won't matter. Even I got a little excited when they put 5 and 9 up on the board Tues and Wed, and then it crashed back to reality last night when I remembered they were facing Schmidt and Stroman. When facing a real ace like Cole they were completely shut down. What's gonna happen next week when they face Skubal, Reagins, and/or Lugo? The mediocre bullpen won't matter if they can't figure out how to score some runs off pitchers like that...

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      By DirtyBird · Posted

      Why carry four 1 inning guys over a LH long option? Cionel stinks and should not be on the roster over Povich when you still have Akin, Coulombe and Soto.

      Really would be nice to win tonight OR have DET lose so then they can play around Sat/Sun when the games would have no bearing on the seeding. Dont want this to come down to Sunday and having to win to get the 4 seed or then there will be some tough decisions that have to be made.
