Would you prefer Pedro Alvarez, Chris Carter, or Mark Trumbo?

I would think Trumbo plays left field, Davis plays in right field, Alvarez plays first base and Trumbo/Alvarez/Wieters/Reimold/Paredes alternate as DH when needed.

So much for cutting down on K's and relying less on the HR. This lineup would be fun

1.Machado 3B R

2.Alvarez 1B L

3.Jones CF R

4.Davis RF L

5.Trumbo DH R

6. MW C S

7. Schoop 2B R

8. Reimold LF R

9. Hardy SS R

Exactly why is it so difficult for this front office to sign a guy who gets on base at least a third of the time?

We need more slap hitters and speedsters who can work a count, not more wannabe sluggers who strike out half the time they get to the plate.

[FanSince88]

Oh, and did the front office forget that Camden Yards is much friendlier to power hitting lefties than righties? This aint Fenway, guys.

Trumbo can eat lefties, and that's why the O's picked him up. Remember when Chris Davis came here and people thought he was just another platoon player? We'll see whats in the cards this season

Wow. Carter Non tendered too. OP is an insider.

I have a feeling that we're going to get at least one more guy like Pedro Alvarez. Vote for Pedro for the All Star game. I can't wait

Considering the fact that the still-28-year-old Alvarez (29 in February) averages a home run every 19 plate appearances versus right-handed pitching, he should draw considerable interest from American League clubs looking for a first baseman/designated hitter that can be platooned with a potent right-handed bat. Clubs like the Orioles and Indians stand out as possible fits, while the Rays and White Sox could make some sense depending on their ability to move James Loney and Adam LaRoche, respectively.

And this was written after the Trumbo signing. Would you want Alvarez too?

Yes! And we will get Carter too! What's the least amount of value 3 teammates who combined for 90 home runs has put up? We can beat it.

Is it wrong that whenever I see the name Trumbo I think of Jumbo Shrimp?

[ShoelesJoe]

I would think Trumbo plays left field, Davis plays in right field, Alvarez plays first base and Trumbo/Alvarez/Wieters/Reimold/Paredes alternate as DH when needed.

I'd love to have Alvarez on the team as our DH. But any coach or manager that allows him within fifty feet of a fielders glove would need to be put out to pasture.

Can't imagine why anyone would want Carter. Hitting in the low 200s and striking out 200 times.

For me, it depends on what happens with Davis. I'm wondering if the team might be better off with Trumbo at first, Alvarez as DH, and Gordon in LF than with Davis and whoever else.
