As opposed to last offseason wouldn't you say so? I mean I wouldn't say it's like when we signed Raffy 20 years ago but aggressive in the sense that he identified someone he wanted and traded for him. I really doubt that Snider was Plan A last offseason.

I think they were close to acquiring Snider for Matusz at the NT deadline and the Pirates took Bastardo from the Phillies instead. Seems Snider was "plan A."

Oh then my mistake, I had not heard that. I would hope that luck is a little kinder to us this year. All of the COfs last year like DeAza, Snider, Pearce, and the others definitely underperformed expectation.

Everything so far points to a hefty raise in payroll. Still need a starter, 2 corner OF's and 1B. No way do you trade for a player with Trumbo's skill set at cost of improving team elsewhere. Poor Man's Cruz move.

They didn't add anything yet. Orioles are still about $6m below (including projected Arb) what they spent last year. That's assuming we tender some players by tomorrow.

I'm assuming your numbers are correct. Also, assuming a 10% increase in payroll from last year (which a lot of people here don't see) means an opening day payroll of 132 million. Your number says the O's are at 114 million. I can't see the O's getting all the missing pieces they have for 18 million

      Right..if the Orioles can trade for Brenton Doyle (my favorite top target), why should we care that his salary is low? Also in that scenario, Mullins is likely gone, so payroll would actually go down I believe. But someone like Bemore wins would still complain because the payroll isn’t where he thinks it should be.

      Where are you getting your stats from that's not correct looking at OPS.

      On the O's this year, Martinez would have been: 5th in OPS 5th in AVG 6th in HRs in 120 games

      I think PFF is grading Roquan badly because the safeties behind him are playing like ass and it's making him look bad.  If teams are going to attack him over the middle on crossing routes with WRs (like KC did with Rice) he doesn't really stand much of a chance if the safeties behind him don't throw him a bone.  He's still a huge help in the run game.   In general I think PFF assigns a little too much blame to linebackers on passes over the middle, so unless you're an elite coverage guy at LB it's really hard to grade well.  The flip side to this is that teams probably need to adjust their coverage areas to account for the fact that LBs aren't going to be able to hold down WRs for long.

      Thanks. This tells me what my eyes have seen with Roquan. He's been a liability in coverage and the fact that Simpson is ahead of him is not good for our defensive leader. Do you have the PFF grades for offense too?

      What you want is perfectly reasonable.  But you seem entirely to focused on money.  The team needs to work to improve.  I don't care what it costs, you shouldn't either.  They are going to spend money and payroll will be higher next year and the year after that.  We need them to make improvements and some of that is rightfully going to come from within and not cost much. The improvements that are needed are going to cost too, I'm not saying they wont.  But ownership and the GM should simply work in tandem to make sure the team has what it needs.  I am not really concerned about how much that costs because it should be able to be done without jumping this particular team into say top ten in payroll.
