Trumbo an Oriole (For Clevenger Done Deal)

[Crazysilver03]

If it was the Orioles trading for Clevenger, what would you expect the Orioles to pay?

I would probably expect to pay some other pre-arb guy that is out of options. I might be overvaluing Clevenger or I am just really not a fan of Trumbo at $9M, especially if they plan to put him in the field.

At that price, they have reportedly spent $25M of a $40M approx budget and still arent better then what they had last year.

I like this move. Added a power bat to 1B for only 9 million. Apparently he's pretty solid in the field there. Still need corner outfielders though.

I find it hard to believe the Orioles would take on Trumbo'd contract at the expense of helping the team in other areas of need. Payroll has to be going up.

I like the move if he is used mainly as a DH.

The only thing I don't like is that he is right handed. His splits against right handed pitching are not good. His price is steep for a platoon player too. But hey, he can help beat up on David Price with the rest of the team.

Look, Clevenger has a career 66 OPS+ at the majors. Those who worry about losing him are overvaluing him.

I'm in favor of the trade. Clevenger is a 30-year old spare part. I liked the guy, but he'd have a marginal impact. I'm not the biggest Trumbo fan but he's got a decent chance to hit 30 bombs playing at OPACY. Could be a 2-3 win player if things break right.

Honest Q: Trumbo at that cost (salary and Clevenger) is a better option than Pearce and Clevenger?

Paredes at DH as a lefty

Trumbo at DH/1B as a righty

Davis at 1B/RF as a lefty

I can see that.

Trumbo is the replacement for Cruz they didn't get last year.

I wouldnt be against him as a throw-in. He is off the 40 man and the Os could use the lottery ticket.

That would fit Dan's MO. He does seem to like on highly touted guys who have lost some of their luster. I like the trade honestly. Not like Steve is exactly young and I think Trumbo will be a good fit for our park and didivision.

I'd take Trumbo over that pair. Trumbo may not close the door on Davis, but it does Pearce.

I'd be thrilled if he were the throw-in.
