I would think that the O's will market Trumbo as a 1B which will raise his value over him being a DH.

Perhaps Trumbo and one of the young guys could be part of a deal to the Rockies for one of their guys to play COF here in Baltimore? They seem to have Mark Reynolds penciled in as their 1B for 2016.

Colorado doesn't have a chance to contend this year. Trumbo doesn't fit with the Rockies.

Rockies are spending $9MM per year for three years on Parra. Trumbo seems like a perfect fit at $9MM. And they'd only be committed for one year. If they actually are interested, I hope the Orioles get something done with them.

Maybe. Personally, I don't want any of the Rockies OFers.

Signing Parra allows them to trade one of their OFers for pitching or prospects. Trumbo doesn't help them.

You'd prbadly get a Rickard. We already have enough nonimpactful options.

That is probably the best possible return for Walker. With Mancini coming, OF is a bigger need so an even swap of a potential 1 WAR 1B for a potential 1 WAR OF would be fine with me. Maybe some other team's Zach Davies, but we have a bunch of those too. Not sure what else Walker could get us.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      By Flash- bd · Posted

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
