Pitching seems to be such a crapshoot. Paying big money for starters or trading away great prospects for them seems to be self defeating.

Eduardo still is not right BTW, getting hammered in rehab and unable to break 91.

That was the one midseason trade that I would consider a victory. Not because of ERod's misfortunes, but because Miller almost helped get us the the promised land. Unfortunately, it may have encouraged DD to be too aggressive at the deadline...

Maybe so.

I would feel a lot better about it if he was out of the division.

Watched the game last night. Gray looked good for three innings and then lost command. His velocity still looked good but he was all over the place. Mixed in were a lot of questionable pitch calls. Not very impressed with his catcher, either. I would still not hesitate to deal Schoop and prospects for him. Gausman is obviously off the table now.

Schoop as a trade piece is a tough one. How much do you value Machado and the chance he is extended? Trading Schoop would make that difficult.

Machado is not going to extend here. We will not be able to afford him, especially after giving Davis that huge deal this last offseason.

While I've no reason to think Manny will sign a long term extension here, trading Schoop in my mind would probably take it from slim to none to absolutely not because of how tight he and Manny are.

I think that in the end Schoop being here, not being here, or being here under the terms of a long extension won't change the discussions with Manny one whit. Money and where he and his wife want to live will be the deciding factors.

Speaking in absolutes is dangerous (of course not in a 'real' sense :thumbsup1:). I think the deal last night by Boras has some strong undertones.

I feel more confident each day we may sign him long term.

At the end of the day, even Boras must listen to his client. Strasburg's a unique guy who loves to play world of warcraft, and hates the spotlight. Seems like he sacrificed tens of millions for stability. Probably against Boras's counsel.

I wouldn't read too much into Strasburg's deal as it pertains to Manny

He probably did leave significant monies on the table but there is some uncertainly how big the money would have been considering the scar on his elbow.

      2024 Ravens regular season discussion

      Well I sort of disagree here. You said guys have been bad to questionable. I think that’s wrong. I just think a few guys have been awful and that has really hurt us. I would absolutely give Washington more time. Brade and Kane are well liked but doubtful they want to play them much right now. A trade should be considered if things don’t improve.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Yeah, I'd rather keep him over Soto.  I mean Soto can't start.  Yes Soto was dominant at times out of the bullpen but he was also gasoline on a fire out of the bullpen.  I would rather pay Suarez $4 or 5 million, knowing he can start or pitch in the bullpen than Soto, knowing he can only start and is liable to melt down when needed most.

      It is funny how much Hays (the pre-2024 version anyway) matches the type of player they'll likely look for. I doubt that reunion happens though.

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Weird thing about Suarez is that MASN had this being a 2 year deal when they talked about him back in April. ”The Orioles made another smart move with Suárez by signing him to a two-year contract in September. They knew what they’d ask from him and how it could contradict, and they didn’t want to give him any reasons to resist.” https://www.masnsports.com/blog/another-look-at-how-suarez-came-to-the-orioles

      Elias is refusing to spend money that Rubenstein has made available.  Do you have any sources?

      Outside Hamilton, I can't really think of any areas or invidivuals outside the line that have really stepped up.  Humphrey and Stephens have played okay but it certainly hasn't offset the complete zeroes that Eddie Jackson and Marcus Williams have been.  I don't think you want to pull Hamilton off SS even though he can handle deep zone assignments fine, because he's essentially a linebacker that can cover wide receivers and there's too much value in that in the box.  And I think that Roquan/Simpson look lost in pass coverage because the safeties behind them are playing like butt.  Besides Roquan wasn't ever really a great coverage safety, he was kind of okay at it but he was never like a Lavonte David or Fred Warner there.   I'm starting to wonder if we need to either trade for a FS and/or start giving Ardarius Washington more snaps.  He certainly doesn't look worse than Jackson/Williams at this point in his limited playing time.  In general i think safety is an undervalued position so we're likely to get good value in trade.
