Davis? Or just insurance in case Trumbo has a setback.

UPDATE (Per Roch):

Update: The Orioles have selected Mancini’s contract from Norfolk and reinstated O’Day from the disabled list. Infielder/outfielder Steve Pearce has been placed on the 60-day disabled list with a right flexor mass strain.

So the Orioles traded Heim for the chance to pay Pearce around 1.6M for .1rWAR over 25 games.

:thumbsup1:

Oh well, it is not like Pearce had a known history of injuries.

Pretty cynical post.

They could have maybe not played him in the OF. Would have made a great DH versus lefties and pinch hitter down the stretch and in the playoffs.

Yes it is.

They knew about his injury history and still traded for him and then put him in situations that were likely to exacerbate any issues he was having.

And the same team that sold a draft pick paid 1.6 million for the chance.

This is the only problem I have with it. He's been a .900 OPS bat all year. Would have been well worth the 1.6 mil and the prospect IMO if they had kept him out of the field.

So? Parra was an .886 OPS bat all year when Dan traded for him.

You don't have a problem with them selling a draft pick then spending 1.6M on a two month platoon DH?

Did we sell a draft pick to trade for Steve Pearce? Maybe I missed that.

Pearce has a pretty solid track record against lefties over the last three years.

No, they sold a draft pick to save money (3M) on Matusz. Then they spent 1.6 million on Pearce.

Pearce had a 623 OPS against left handed pitching last year. I would use the term inconsistent instead of solid.

.852 career. Orioles have been worst offense in AL vs LHP. So I guess they should not have tried to address it?

      What happens next? Mayo debut or Holliday back up?

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Now we’re on to Mateo.  Nope.  My turn to ask the question.   If Mayo comes up and is average defensively at 3B and puts up an .800+ OPS at 3B and Westburg continues to hit and plays 2B what do you do with Holliday short term and long term?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      No, I don't have Holliday penciled into the HOF. I never said that. What I said is that I believe in his talent. I don't think that many people got it wrong in his evaluation.  I also don't believe that Mayo's defense is anywhere close to good enough to be an All-star caliber 3B. But I do believe that is possible (maybe even very for Westburg). I'm not sure that professional sports is a meritocracy. In that the more talent/ability that you have, the more opportunities that you will get. That probably explains why Holliday got the first crack at the Bigs over Norby (and even Mayo to a degree).  Last thing, right now Mateo is performing best at the other INF spot (second best). Do you want him to stay/get more playing time right now?

      They will be cautious with Holliday now.  I am sure they would hate to have to send him down a second time.  I'm thinking mid-season for Holliday if all goes well in Norfolk.  If he struggles down there, which isn't out of the realm of possibility, it could be delayed further.  Mayo is destroying the ball and should get the call next.  There is a spot for him at third with Westburg moving to second.

      IMO we will see a move by June 1st for either Holliday or Mayo (maybe both) as the O’s schedule June to all-Star break is tough as nails.

      Markakis being inducted into Os HOF

      By Too Tall · Posted

      I watched The Crow. Heck of a pinch hitter in the Glory Years - delivered big hits fairly often. Probably gets added credit for tenure as hitting coach. That's all I got.

      It COULD be a track meet in facing Elly De La Cruz

      By HelenaEngineer · Posted

      Yes - and he is also in that 22-23 age range. My only hesitation with him is that he had a half-season of well below league average offense in 2022 and a full season of slightly below league average offense in 2023.  I think he needs a bit longer run of doing something similar to what he is doing now to totally put 2022-23 in the rear-view mirror, but I don't doubt it could happen, especially considering how young he is.  Four players, that young, with that much talent, all playing the same position and bursting into stardom in such a tight time window is remarkable.

      Can someone explain Terry Crowley to me? I was too young to watch him play. Is he being inducted as a coach or for longevity with the organization? He had less plate appearances and was a worse overall hitter for the Orioles than Luke Scott. I'm not trying to be a hater, just trying to understand.
