There is no source. The "whisper" is shouting on message boards. And lazy radio guys using that as sourcing.

Exactly. Kim will be a steady, productive and professional LF. My only concern is the length of the season. But Buck is a Jedi master and he will pace Kim eventually.

There's nothing g to worry about in LF and leading off. Kim got this

He hit Santana very well. Looked great in his at bat. These are not real games. He is not attempting to avoid the shift. No need to until you get your swing down.

Clearly a future HOFer and a long term solution in LF. No doubt at all.

This is completely rediculous. Give the guy more than his first week in MLB professional baseball before you call him a bust.

You implied he was a bust, I didn't. I am criticizing people who are saying we have nothing at all to worry about and he is a lock in LF. I don't think that is the case at all.

I would be worried about Kim regardless of his Spring Training performance because it is a complete unknown how his bat would translate to MLB. I can't believe some of you are saying you are not worried about him considering he has no track record. Is it too early to write him off based on a handful games worth of ST at bats? Of course. But there was cause for concern before he saw his first pitch and there is a little more cause for concern now that he is hitless in 10-15 at bats or whatever it is. Still way too early. If he is 5 for 50 in a couple weeks I will be very concerned.

I don't think he is a lock. I think he will be given the chance to fail.

      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.

      This is the right approach. the orioles should be spending more money and I believe they will, but I expect it to be measured with less risk (ie we won’t be handing out a Hader type deal or a  long term contract to Santander IMO) improving on some of the obvious weaknesses certainly makes sense.    1x SP: Burnes, Fried, Buehler 1x RH OF/DH: Martinez, O’Neill, Profar 1x 1B: (wishlist) Alonso, Walker
