Which two players would you let go of for Fowler/Gallardo?

Beats me, but I don't like to spend my mental energy analyzing the guys at the very margins of the 40-man roster. They can either DFA someone, or trade someone for a guy who isn't on some team's 40-man. Whatever.

Shoot. Well, we could get rid of someone we all complain about.. a certain lefty who makes quite a few people want to pull out their hair and throw their keyboards......

We DFA Matusz.

Yeah, why get rid of Chaz Roe or Jimmy Paredes when you can get rid of a guy with a 3.16 ERA, 9+ K/9, and 3+ K/BB ratio over his career as a reliever?

I think Paredes will be dropped. He is a poor defender and with Trumbo as DH there is very little chance that the O's will carry a poor defender as a pure bench player. Parades only hope to stick on the roster is as a platoon DH and that isn't going to happen.

Matusz did give up quite a few inherited runners last year from my memory... but I agree he is a decent part of the bullpen... and he's the Ortiz killer. So he has to stay for one more year.

:rolleyes:

I wouldn't mind Oliver Drake getting DFA'd, but I think the overall health on this board would be better with him gone. Just saying. :rolleyes:

If roster moves were made to placate the anger and satisfy the whims of the posters on these boards, the Orioles would probably be in position to lose 100 or more games for the first time since 1988 ...... especially if they were based on raging posts in the game threads, which it sounds like you are alluding to.

The last post was made in a joking tone. But as far as who comes of the roster, that we shall see.

The rolling eyes made it appear that you were being facetious toward MurphDogg's post, as though you thought that the statistics that he pointed out were deceptive in terms of his effectiveness ..... unless you were agreeing with him, and rolling your eyes at yourself for not having thought through your original suggestion of DFA-ing Matusz.

Oh. I didn't see it that way. I saw my post as one with a joking tone of voice and didn't think about someone reading it as if I was a smart Alec. My bad

Dude, if you don't know what your talking about, then just stop. Drake has options, and is likely to be a much better pitcher than someone like Roe.

Yup and he was 10th best in the Majors in stranding inherited runners in 2013 and was above average in 2014.

I was told earlier in the thread that if you optioned someone, they don't come off the 40 man. Not trying to be a jerk, just came off that way

If a guy (Drake) has options, he is more valuable than someone who doesn't (Roe). Drake can be sent back and forth, without having to remove him from the 40 man, while Roe would have to clear waivers. That gives us more roster flexibility.

Leaving all that aside, Drake is just a better pitcher.

      I'm certainly not "fixated" on this. The real issue is the budget. How high will Rubenstein be willing to grow the payroll?

      By Can_of_corn · Posted

      Cool, nice work there.   So? Are we owed a large market? Does DC not deserve their own team? Should the fans of Baltimore just become Redskins fans and not tried to get their own team when the Colts left?  (sorry to bring up football again but come on, that fits). I laid it all out a couple months ago, MLB has more teams bringing home the hunk of metal than other sports since 2000.  The competitive balance is fine.  It's harder?  Yea?  OK it's harder.

      The Cowboys have an owner with deep pockets. I agree 100% … There is some cap manipulation that happens. At the end of the day they have a $255 million limit they are required to operate under. The Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, etc can decide each year how much they want to add to the luxury tax fund as opposed to not being able to fit a potential move under the cap. Here are the 2024 payrolls for the NFL and MLB   https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2024/04/03/mlb-team-payrolls-2024-highest-lowest-mets/73139425007/ Highest $305 million vs $60 million  https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/_/year/2024/sort/cap_maximum_space Highest $259.5 million vs $217 million these numbers will likely get tighter once they make additions before the trade deadline.  If you can’t see the difference I’m just wasting my time. The biggest driving force in MLB beyond the ability of some to spend lavishly is the tv markets. The club controls so much of their tv revenue that it’s an unfair game. The moved that created the Orioles didn’t have much of an effect on the Senators tv market which was likely nonexistent then. Plus MLB is allowing contract manipulation like Othani’s contract. Instead of $700 divided by length 10 years, Somehow he only counts as like $46 million which is laughable. Plus they are paying $85 million in luxury tax fees in 2024.    The Orioles were a large market team when the Expos moved to DC. They could afford to spend with the Yankees, Red Sox , and Blue Jays. Could the Orioles afford to pay $85 million in luxury tax fees? Could the Yankees? I know the answer to both.  What grounds ? Who cares ? The impact was astronomical …It made it very difficult to compete in the AL East without tank a thon! It split their tv market in half. Obviously MLB papered over that long enough to get an agreement done.    They turned a large market team into 2 small/mid market teams. The Orioles and Nationals payrolls combined place them only 11th in baseball. Obviously they could afford to spend more. But it’s doubtful either will ever be top 10 for more than a season  or two as they try to hang onto a window.

      Thanks for the detailed explanation of all of the issues.  Sounds like a mess.
