Can't see the O's DFAing Pedro. Traded maybe but not DFA'd.

After the break:

1) O'Day probably will not be back yet

2) Givens is going on Paternity Leave

3) Worley may go into the rotation

4) Ubaldo could be DFA'd, maybe sent to the minors until September.

So the O's will probably need some relief re-enforcements. Lefty Andy Oliver and/or Richard Rodriguez can both offer the O's some length in the pen.

Givens will be back Friday. ;)

Where would Mancini, Trumbo, Kim, and the LHH all play?

Alvarez is hitting .340 in his last 50 ABs, by the way.

Right. There is no reason at all to promote Mancini unless we get an injury to one of our 1B/DH.

Alvarez has been very good since May and is likely to stay hot through the summer months. He's been a fine DH and will continue to be.

Mrs. Givens is a team player.

You guys are reading too much into Hale getting off the roster. I'm shocked he made it this far. He's had poor results. I'm hoping we are going to snag someone off the waiver wire or maybe a guy in AAA that has an opt out with another organization.

I would think Reimold is closer to being DFA than Alvarez. When was the last time Reimold has contributed? Very few ABs for him and hasn't done much when given chances.

A .782 OPS is pretty good for a fifth OFer.

Our offense is set. As set as it has been in years. Unless there is an injury there is no need to make any move at all.

Alvarez has raised his OPS to .760. He's been excellent.

      JD Martinez

      JD Martinez would be a more of the same kind of acquisition. He is not an impact bat and he is a periphery (around the margins) piece at this point. Why not set the bar higher and sign Alonso? Acquiring Pete Alonso allows you to move on from Mountcastle and put Mayo (where he belongs right now) DH. It also allows you to move on from O'Hearn.  Alonso gets everyday ABs and Mayo does. Those two things to a large degree help solve the lineup imbalance against LHP. I know Alonso will cost real money. But again who are we paying? The money is there. It's time to start using it (if we want to win in October).

      Your full quote said to use him as a DH for 100+ games. If you are worried about him being covered through his injuries - how can you assume he wouldn't be injured at the end of the season, going into the playoffs?

      Here’s an exercise… it’s the postseason and the bases are loaded. The Santa scenario. Who on our current roster would you rather have up over JD Martinez?  Same fact pattern as Santander’s AB.

      Why did you pare down my quote about it being for the post season and not just 162?  People, always so quick to clown someone. Lmao. Damn. At least use my whole quote bro.  If you think that we don’t need at least one proven playoff bat then that’s ok. My point is, that we have enough 1B/DH options to carry JD through his ups/downs/injuries over 162 for his experience, leadership, and playoff experience.  You can disagree, but quote me right.

      It's kind of amazing to me how no one knows Suarez's free agent status. I've heard it both ways. He's Schrodinger's baseball player.

      Since JD Martinez has a career OPS of .950 in the postseason across 12 series and 151 plate appearances, I am sure our FO will have no use for him.  A veteran player who has experienced a lot of postseason success rarely helps young teams get to that next level.
