Late to this thread and I have not read it yet. I will just say this. Reddick does not fit the O's M.O. He does not have a track record of durability. They do not invest money in players who have not shown a history of durability. They will go for durability every time.

The Orioles need to stop investing in middling players. All they have to show for their money and trade resources are under performance.

Any other outfielders that we can think of that could work? I wouldn't want Colby Rasmus

Plenty of options for OF.

FREE AGENT OF - OPSed .750 or better this season

Jose Bautista (don't laugh)

Marlon Byrd

Yoenis Cespedes

Ian Desmond

Franklin Gutierrez

Matt Holliday

Matthew Joyce

Brandon Moss

Josh Reddick (as discussed)

Michael Saunders

Mark Trumbo (resign)

Rickie Weeks

POSSIBLE TRADE TARGETS

Ryan Braun - rumors continue to swirl

Kole Calhoun - entering abritrtion, Angels need to rebuild

Khris Davis - because Oakland

Adam Eaton - big name White Sox in the rumor mill

Logan Forsythe - price hike, can play OF

Carlos Gonzalez - another year, more rumors

J.D. Martinez - Tigers want to shed salary

Cameron Maybin - same, team option may mean free agency

Andrew McCutchen - on the trade block

Jorge Soler - crowded OF for Cubs; short straw

    • Since April 23. 7 for 28 including 2 doubles, 1 triple, and 1 homer.   5 walks.  3 strikeouts.  
    • I’d be very surprised too but it’s all about talent and where you draft.  At 22 it’s tough to get high ceiling talent.  I’d guess Brecht is a reliever at the next level but he’s got dominant reliever upside.  His stuff, reportedly, is as good as any pitcher in the draft.  95 strikeouts in 55 innings as a starter.  
    • He's already a HOF.  It's just that his injuries have killed his chances of being an Inner Circle HOF.
    • With three more hits today, Etzel is at .360/.992. He has 171 MiLB at bats, so a third of a season. Which projects to a full season with:  513 AB 111 R 39 2B 12 3B 12 HR 114 RBI 93 BB 123 SO 90 SB 21 CS .339 AVG .445 OBP .532 SLG Not too shabby!    
    • I would love for someone to explain or justify to me how in the world Mullins catch on 4/15 is listed at 65% catch probability. There are a couple of guys in the league that make that catch but it’s a very short list. Maybe I just don’t understand the stat.
    • Not sure a pitcher technically can get “squeezed” by the automated strike zone but Povich had a number of borderline pitches tonight that could go the other way.  Handley was visibility perturbed by a few of the calls on walks and Povich doubled over in disbelief on a couple of walk calls. He reminds me a little of Tom Glavine how he throws, his wind up, how he hides the ball and how it explodes out his hand….sort of effortless. I heard the announcer for the Sound say Povich’s curveball hasn’t had a hit against it all year long and every other pitch is around .100 batting avg against.  In person, his fastball has a lot more giddy up than the radar shows.  98 pitches tonight and looks like he has a rubber arm.  
    • a game you'd hope Mullins, Mountcastle or Santander would step up and were let down.
