DD Needs to Think About the Orioles Organization For Once-My Trade Idea

No insanity here, the Orioles have a flawed roster and approach in my opinion.  That did not just happen! I acknowledge that they made the one game playoff round. 

I think the starting pitching beyond Tillman and Gausman is suspect.

i think the offense has a lot of shortcomings, low OBP, not able to manufacture runs etc.

i think we were lucky and the teams in our division minus Tampa are better. The Yankees took steps forward after selling before the deadline and think they will be back soon.

Don't forget, we really limped into the playoffs. At one point around June I think we were in the top 5 in OBP, but offense started scuffling in July and just continued to deteriorate through the summer. We were 31-33 over the last 64 games and very lucky to make the Wild Card. I just don't see a realistic plan to upgrade the team at this point. Sure, let the season play out, but I have a hard time envisioning and endgame with us going deep in the playoffs this year.
