I'm not convinced that going for it with a young arm (as being very careful and maximizing career length) is always or definitely the wrong decision. Harvey got to a World Series. Strasburg was shut down and the Nats will always ask themselves if that year could have gone differently.

Don't the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one?

Isn't a healthy TOR for the next 5+ years also fulfilling the needs of the many?

And yet just four months ago, most experts were saying he had at best a pedestrian upside. If he could stay healthy.

A month ago, our analytical posters were using 20 innings of stats to prove the same thing. I think lost in all this is the fact that Bundy could still be a disappointment or could take another year to adjust

It is five years, not five plus. They have him under team control for five more seasons. Anything he does after that is irrelevant (and his elbow will probably blow out again around then).

The plus was due to the fact that we could extend him or resign him. Thank you for you medical prediction:)

That isn't relevant.

It is beyond the period the O's have control over his rights.

I believe the plus is relevant because one possible result of babying Bundy is that the Orioles could have a TOR for the next 10 years or even longer. But, I don't want to bicker.

You can sign him as a free agent after that. Still does not count. The team has no investment in that nor is any future return predicated on his non free agent health. It's five years.

Guys. I believe 5+ is still the correct answer.

Bundy has 5 more seasons of control...PLUS....the rest of this one. No?

      JD Martinez

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      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.
