Maybe if Davis hadn't been suspended they would have won in 2014.
If you're the Orioles, and you have good, inexpensive players on your team, you can't keep most of them as they get expensive.

AL East Champions in 14 and ALDS winners. Lost some flukey games after that.

I believe you are right Sir, and I watched that series and said how could he let that

happen, and we needed his bat. The O's just can't let him go because we still need

his bat and can't replace it. The O's need Chen and O'Day we have big shoes to fill

and we can't dig these players up out of a can.

But we can't afford to keep them all, so we have to do something else.

We dug Chen and O'Day and Davis out of a can.

If you bring those three back along with already having Weiters back then we are going to field (very close) to the same team that went 81-81 last year because we can't afford anything else.

But people don't want to hear that. Truth is, keeping the team together doesn't work beyond a certain point. Digging gems out of the can is always a necessity.

At a certain point in time the guys from the can are worth more on the field then the guys you kept long term.

With any big free agent signing you know you are buying some years of decline.

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      Tanner Scott is on his final year with the Marlins and Hunter Harvey has one more year with the Nats, those are the likely biggest available names. Kopech from CWS is also a potential RP option. Problem is there are very few actually worthwhile players on the teams that will sell - I don’t expect the Giants, Astros, Cardinals or Angels to sell even if they should. The Nats have some good young players that won’t be available, and not much else. And the Rockies are baffling adverse to trading any of their players, if they even end up with someone worth trading for.  Mason Miller and Jesus Luzardo have plenty of team control left (pretty much all of it for Miller, and 2 years after this one for Luzardo), they will get talked about a lot but are not super likely to move. Luzardo also has pitched quite poorly thus far.

      I have to admit. I'm an addict.

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      Because you and I text often, and did during the game yesterday...you know how annoying and negative I can be. I'm a whiner and complainer when it comes to this team. But when we win, and I see some kind of performance like Henderson gave...I want to write a sonnet or symphony in my mind...paint some sort of masterpiece. I have to put my joy SOMEWHERE. Yes, I probably am over the top in my love for this team. WEAMS came and stayed at my home a few years ago and was mesmerised by my Oriole  collection of memorabilia that goes back more than 50 years when I was a batboy. Brooks Robinson and Palmer stayed for a weekend once. I was told to take all my Oriole stuff down, lest Brooks think I'm a kook. Brooks David, his son, told me to "keep all the stuff up...my dad LOVES this stuff. And Brooks Sr did INDEED "love the stuff". So, yes, even in a long up and down season...I cant curb my addiction. I sulk when we lose or are losing...and I'm giddy as a 5 year old when we win dramatically. Maybe I should seek a therapist. But I don't want to. I dont want to or need to be "fixed"....To quote the line from earlier in this comment...."I love this stuff". Its a romance that breaks my heart sometimes, but when it's right and I'm happy...nothing else in sports for me, comes close.

      Offense is down in MLB this year — but not in Baltimore

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      We've been also doing this while carrying Holliday's bat.  Other than that, we have a Braves level offense.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      You can’t see injury or decline until it happens. And he will decline in his 30s.  Whether or not he has injury issues is to be seen.

      I hope this thread doesn't start a jinx!!!!!!! 😀 Waving my anti-jinx wand!!!!  Baseball is a game of averages. Don't assume anything long term - as sure as it may seem. Just cross fingers and enjoy the now.

      I agree on the Nats, which is why they are at the bottom of the list. They do  Hunter Harvey coming into final arbitration year, which is appealing.
