Only at 1B. Snider is the better defensive OF. This means Davis is staying in RF.

We shall see. I would guess Parra with his arm will play in RF. Pearce/Reimold/Lough in LF, Davis back to 1B. I would much rather have Pearce/Remold/Lough in LF than Parm at 1B, but Buck works in mysterious ways.

OMG seriously does Chicken Parm have pictures of Buck or something? Jesus, the FO has a man-crush on this guy.

That was out of line. I can't edit my posts anymore but I regret saying this. Still, I'm very frustrated that Parm continues to be a fixture in this lineup. Snider isn't that much better but he has at least some ML success history.

Why is David Lough still on this team? He's been on this team for so long because he was the only other player besides Jones who could play CF. Well, Parra is more than capable of handling CF in a pinch and is considered an excellent defender. So why do the O's still need David Lough?

    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
    • I have it on dvr and I timed it four times. I got 10.75, 10.80, 10.74, and 10.78.
    • This is exactly what EDC said tonight     
    • My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
