Current or past Orioles. I fear Reggie Jackson may get some votes here, just curious after seeing the O's getting spanked again and committing 5-6 errors, lost count.

What say you?

For me, it would be:

1. Gay Jibbons (not that there is anything wrong with that)

2. Luke Scott

3. Juan Bell

4. Garrett Atkins

5. Travis Snider

6. Matt Wieters

7. Nolan Reimold (like him, but just think he has been given too many chances)

8. Dexter Fowler (I kid...)

I am sure I am forgetting someone. What say you?

Steve Kline.

Kevin "Goggles" Gregg.

Glenn Davis. Although the trade wasn't his fault.

Garrett Atkins is the most dreadful O I can recall watching in recent time. Got a cool five mil to give us a .563 OPS over 152 at bats.

David Segui gave us about a season's worth of at bats over a four year contract. Was actually pretty good when he played, but that was a lot of dead money.

There are many others. I don't see how anyone can hate Nolan Reimold (Rene88). That's just me. Not his fault that he couldn't stay healthy and not as if he's been a drag on our payroll. Matt Wieters is probably one of the top two or three Oriole catchers of all time. While he didn't live up to the hype, he's been an asset for us for the most part. We got plenty of value from Luke Scott as well. Those three guys are no where close to my list.

So lets see. You don't like some of players over a spring training game? I like all

the O's players. As long as they wear Black and Orange. I can't judge players over

spring training games.

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

      I have no idea what you are arguing.

      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.
