You have to be quick to beat me on Fangraphs stuff.

To get to the playoffs last season, Orioles’ brass certainly had to make some good decisions, but their bad ones sure were doozies. The largest, most consequential blunder was the relegation of Zach Britton to bystander status in the wild card game, but their attempt to wash their hands of Hyun Soo Kim after a poor spring training very nearly kept them out of the postseason in the first place.

Joey Rickard started the season as the regular left fielder, but by season’s end Kim was garnering the bulk of the playing time. He’s a high-floor, moderate-upside type with a strong K/BB foundation, and a little more pop than you might think. His Adjusted Fly Ball Contact Score of 89 suggests that he might have a 15-home-run season in him at some point. Bear in mind, however, that the O’s have barely let Kim even try to bat against lefties. I’d take the training wheels off, to see what they truly have in this guy. At the very least, he’s a very productive platooner who can bat at or near the top of the lineup.

Someone give that a listen and let me know if it's worth the trouble please.

It's less Orioles concentrated than one would guess from the title.  The question is - would you trade your entire 40 man roster + farm system for the Orioles?  Then they covered all 29 other teams, and their final conclusion was the Orioles are about 22nd or 23rd.

White Sox, Twins, Reds, Padres, Marlins and A's would.

Angels, Royals and Rays are a push.

Every other team in MLB's overall outlook deemed better, naturally, of course.

But Keith Law does think Chris Lee is a good prospect.

Shouldn't the potential to resign manny alone put us higher?

The Davis post got me thinking...

 

how many teams' top three position players would you take over the Orioles trio:

Machado

jones

davis

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
