Janish and Clevenger belong on this team in 2016

[weams]

I wonder if Clevenger could be a 1b replacement

5'10, sure 131 MLB at bats. Two Home Runs.

I didn't start the thread for them to be everyday players. I'd like to have Janisn on the bench. I'd like flahery to catch 50 games and get DH at bats vs rhp. Janisn might have a bad career ops but at least he takes pitches. We just need more guys that work the count on our team. Since our stars Macahdo, Jones and Schoop aren't very patient then we need to have patient hitters as our role players.

I think posters that are looking at Janish offense are missing the point.

The O's need a UIF. In 2016 the UIF will probably get most of his playing time backing up Hardy at SS. Janish is much better at that than Flaherty. There may be a few at bats at 2B and 3B. Janish can fill that role. But defense at SS is by far the way I think Buck will judge who the UIF should be. That is Janish.

As far as offense goes, neither Flaherty nor Janish are likely to put a 700 OPS. That means what we have here is a good field/no hit UIF when picking between the two.

As far as both of them making the team. Why would the O's do that? Flaherty has options. They can send him down or trade him.

I think that we would reasonably look at both of them on the 40 man roster until Hardy's health is evident.

What is the advantage to that? Seriously, I'd like to know.

During the previous offensive boom it was hammered into fans, mostly because of the way the Red Sox and Yankees were constructed, that patience is a virtue.

I think it has to do with how many more commercials you can air when the 5-3 games goes 3:45.

I couldn't agree more. Good analysis.

I expect the Orioles to let all of our free agents walk. I think you will see them try to fill holes with middling type players. I would think there is room for Clevenger on that team. Janish would need to prove that he has found his bat.

I think Pearce returns.

Give Pearce a chance!

Can they resign guys they offer a QO to who then leave for FA and still retain the comp pick?

Sure.

Sure.

And still retain the comp pick?

And still retain the comp pick?

What would they be being compensated for in that scenario?

You and I know that. It means nothing in the greater scope of things. I wish someone other than us would acknowledge that though.

It took me a couple years to come up with the idea on my own.*

Can't expect other folks to listen to a couple guys on a message board when everyone on TV is telling them the opposite.

*Yes I know that there is very good work being done by others concerning TTTOP and Bullpens. I had come to my conclusions before seeing it.
