I believe that there is a difference between a split-squad game, and a "B" game.

In the game that the Orioles played this morning against the Pirates, the 2nd inning gave the Pirates 4 outs, because they wanted Tillman to get the extra work. 2 innings later, Gausman recorded 2 outs, and they ended the inning.

I believe that if the game is in this website, then it counts in the standings. If not (like this morning's Orioles game against the Pirates), then it doesn't count.

Funny, we're talking about games that count vs. games that don't count ....... in a league that doesn't even count in the first place

I'm not saying it will happen or should happen, is there any possibility the O's might eat Kim's contract if they don't see any up side by the end of ST? Sure it would be somewhat embarrassing, but not as much as having him perform poorly if the team has other options.

I don't think there is any chance they eat the money before the season even starts.

Dan will wait until he can find someone to sell the competitive draft pick to.

Planning on eating a contract for a guy who is changing leagues/continents before ST is even halfway over? That is particularly quick on the trigger...

      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.
