No doubt! The other things people should remember is that when players fail the Orioles physicals, more times than not they break down shortly there after. I want Gallardo, but I don't want him breaking down halfway through the season of being ineffective after signing. Remember, this is a guy who didn't have a great second half last year. If the Orioles have major concerns then I understand where they are coming from.

After the money they've spent, the Balfour arm breakdown, and some other things, they've earned the benefit of the doubt from me.

Also, people really, truly need to stop caring what some attention-whoring media member says.

UPDATE:

Orioles are trying to restructure the deal so that they can get out at an earlier point in time INCASE something arises with the shoulder that has lots of innings on it. Obviously there is push back from Bobby Witt, we will see what happens, but again I was told not to worry, something will get done. Just to be patient.

Throwing questions into the mix does not help. i guess the Orioles have a few Ortho guys looking at the test results. I am pretty sure they gave their preliminary opinions. I can see this dragging out and the Orioles maybe restructure the deal and perhaps chop a year off the deal.maybe even not work something out.

So Rosenthal basically is right, they are restructuring, but your tone, makes it sounds more realistic.

Sir Loin, thanks again for your updates on this. I always feel better after hearing from you. Even if your updates are not what the fans want to hear, at least they have proven to be accurate up to this point. All you can do is relay what you have been told, and it's up to us if we want to believe it or not.

In this case, I trust the Orioles to do what is best for the organization. Hopefully, both sides can work this out based on whatever concern the Orioles have, and the deal will still get finalized in the end. Unless Gallardo has another team interested and willing to give him 3 years at the same money, plus give up a draft pick, I can't see him backing out. I'm sure he wants to try and get this resolved quickly and move forward with his career.

Sir_Lion have you heard one of the doctors is against three years and that the other doctors might not be ?

.@Jim_Duquette "#Orioles are not out of the mix on Gallardo. But when the the owner decides he's injured its hard to change his mind"

Jim Duquette really needs to let this grudge go. Its been a long time since the divorce was finalized. Plus, the Orioles have been right every single time that they backed out of a deal due to the physical. I'm tired of hearing this nonsense from Jim Duquette.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      Probably 2010 when Derek Jeter won the last of his many undeserved Gold Gloves.  I agree that media bias isn’t a big factor in the awards.

      Exactly what does “getting hot” mean? It means that everyone, at the same time, is playing to their best qualities and avoiding bonehead mistakes. the last week we saw that, and the Os had their best week in a while. So maybe the Os are getting hot.

      Other than having to get through the WC round, I think this roster is situated equally or better than last year's to make a run. Yes they won 10 fewer games but when you look at talent going into October, this year's team is just as capable.  Reflecting on this season, I think the two greatest differences from last year are 1) the in-season injuries, 2) not having Bautista. With many of our injured guys back, Eflin filling in for one of the injured SP spots, and Bautista missing last year's postseason anyways, those two things aren't differences in October.  So, I think the "maybe we can go on a run like Texas" emphasis comes from watching the team struggle for two months. Not because they are only good enough if they get get hot. I think on top to bottom talent it is still them and the Yankees as the two best teams in the AL. NYY, Cleveland, and Houston will not be happy if Baltimore shows up on their schedule and will be relieved if KC gets through.

      DRS is part of dWAR, the part that’s unadjusted for difficulty of position, and expressed in runs, not wins.   If I wanted to know how good Cowser was as a LF, I’d never look at dWAR, I’d look at his DRS as a LF (he also played CF).   Honestly, I kind of wish BB-ref wouldn’t even publish dWAR, since it’s misinterpreted so often.  You could calculate the Fsbgraphs equivalent of dWAR, but they don’t publish it, so nobody ever mentions it.   But anyway, I agree that the best approach is to look at all the metrics and not adhere slavishly to any one of them.  And, I agree completely with your sssessment of Cowser.  I love his range, and he gets excellent jumps, but I hope he spends a lot of time this winter working on the accuracy of his throws, which is quite subpar.

      It’s possible but I think he is also your Mateo pinch runner guy. In other words, I think they will save him until the end of the game just in case they need his speed.

      Will he get 1 PA in the ALWC series? To put flesh on the bones, say against Lucas Erceg on for a Save at James McCann's spot in the lineup. He is behind all of O'Hearn, Mountcastle and Kjerstad probably on the depth chart, but if you get Ragans out by the 5th or 6th they could all be used before the endgame.

      The race is close enough that the run environment should be a factor. In the steroid era or bouncy ball 2019, 15 W/3.50 ERA might be a much better performance than a .242 AVG/24 HR/good defense. Which is more impressive in light-hitting 2024? The whole league hit .243 this year, tied with 2022 as the lowest since... 1968.  I'd probably vote for Gil but I kinda feel like Cowser will win it in a close race. And I'm not sure NY bias is a thing in awards voting anymore with the more online media landscape and more stat-educated voters. When's the last time a NY player won an end of season award they didn't deserve?
