Was just debating with a friend ... Dexter for 3 years $35 million + losing a pick or should we have signed Nick to the 4 years $44 million deal

Nick's splits:

.291 (AVG) .359 (OBP) 14.4 (HR/162 games)) 71.1 (RBIs) 62.3 (BB) 85.7 (SO) 6.3 (SB) 2.6(CS)

Dexter's splits:

.267 (AVG) .363 (OBP) 8.1 (HR) 36.4 (RBI) 59.4 (BB) 106.3 (SO) 14.3 (SB) 6.6 (CS)

I'm starting to agree with my buddy after looking at Nick's stats that we should have resigned him last year. Cost us a pick, 2-3 wins last year, money is a wash since the 's saved last year.

Also lost 3 prospects by not signing Markakis and all of the prospects look pretty good after the trades for Snider and Parra.

Nick over the last three years: .685, .729, .746

Dexter over the last three years: .776, .775, .757

When you add defense, base running, and age factor (Dex is two years younger) I don't think it's very close.

Nick has a better arm. Nick couldn't play center field which Fowler can but Fowler will be playing right field with the Orioles. I mean there are trade offs. Maybe in another stadium range might be more important than at Camden Yards.

It really isn't close. Dan certainly made the right call in my opinion.

The only downside was the draft pick but fowler certainly has the ability to be worth more than 12 mil a year.

Especially playing in Camden yards and playing right field instead of center. If kim can give us anything, we should have a very solid OF!

This is not even a contest. I'll take Fowler everyday and for a doubleheader on Sunday.

Last three years:

Fowler (.262/.361/.406/.767), 50 SB, 15 GIDP, 9.7 OWAR, -3.0 dWAR 5.9 playing CF, would most likely be higher in corner OF position, 5.9 WAR.30 years old this season.

Markakis (.281/.347/.373/.720) 7 SB, 44 GIDP, 5.1 oWAR, -3.3 dWAR, 4.0 WAR, 32 years old this season,

Just comparing their career stats per 162 games tells very little about their relative current value, because Markakis peaked about 7 years ago whereas Fowler hasn't (yet) shown much decline.

Exactly.

Ryan Howard (for example) has a career 162-game average of 40 HR's, 126 RBI's, and a .349 OBP.

However ...... in his most recent 4 seasons, he is averaging 27 HR's, 102 RBI's, and has a .300 OBP per 162 games.

Plus, he is now 36 years-old.

As a Braves fan I get to have my Kake and eat it to!

Nick can be average and it won't hurt this years Braves, and I get to see more of my "old" Orioles favorite without having to judge his performance!

I also love the Fowler addition for my Birds, and think he is a huge upgrade.

Happy! Happy! Happy!

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By interloper · Posted

      I went to a few games this year, but here are the reasons I didn't go to the WC games: The team had been an absolute bummer to watch for 3 entire months out of the season and to be honest by the time the playoffs got here I was exhausted and annoyed. The brand of baseball they had been employing for half the season (over-reliance on the home run, terrible ABs, iffy defense) frankly sucked to watch, even on TV, and I'm already spending money to watch them on TV. I wanted them to prove they could get past the WC round before I shelled out more money. I imagine a lot of people share these reasons with me.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      People whining about 41k attendance and blaming it on the city have no idea what they're talking about.  Why were there 47k+ of Game 1 against the Rangers last year? Did the city all of a sudden not matter then? It was also a day game. Alas, it was on a Saturday. And they had that locked up for awhile. Why has attendance went up YoY? Look at the Astros and the Brewers. They had *less* people at their G1 games. Is Milwaukee not a nice city? Is Houston not a nice city?  This is pretty simple. It was a day game during a weekday with crappy weather coming off a pretty lackluster performance going into the playoffs. And folks didn't know if there'd even be a home game until, what, barely a week before?  People like winners. Miami is an awesome city. They got a new stadium when it first opened. But guess what? That team stunk in fairly short order upon stadium opening and attendance tanked.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Would love to bring him back on a 1 year deal for anywhere from $3-$7m.  Great depth arm. Don't pencil him into the 5th starter role. This club needs to pickup two starters: a TOR arm and a BOR arm. Have an open competition for the 5th spot. If Suarez doesn't make it, he'd be a great middle reliever arm. Open competition between Free Agent, Suarez, Povich, McDermott, and Rogers. Do not just go into 2025 penciling Rogers into any role.

      What's Your Top Priority

      By Orioles West · Posted

      It's really tough to set a top priority when I don't know what the budget is. I think the new ownership group will be investing more than the previous regime, I just don't know by how much. I highly doubt the O's will ever be in the "spend whatever it takes mode" like the Mets a couple years ago or the standard yearly overspending by the Dodgers or Yanks. It's still tough to make my Christmas list without knowing the balance sheet. If we're the Dodgers, we keep Burnes and Tony Taters. Hopes and wishes it is then: Even if we sign Burnes, which I wouldn't mind at least making a run at him, I think we need another starter, because injuries and how this year went. Even if the Mountain returns healthy, we need high leverage help in the pen. Veteran bat - no idea who, but if Mullins and Santander leave, we will have to add someone -- I don't know that our prospects will be stepping up or stepping back next year.

      Who Stays and Who Goes Early Guess

      What I like about Webb is he has an excellent changeup and can get LHB's out. Besides Felix, everyone else in the bullpen needs to be matched up. I think it is important to have another reliable guy who can be brought in to any situation. He is also cheap. I think he is too valuable to just give him away to another team. I like him better than Perez for sure.

      Bingo....I have said this before also. Wives of players are not clamoring to come near B-More. Factor in taxes and its a hard sell.
