Casey Kotchman, 3 team trades and ... "fixed that for you."

I was accused of being a bully a couple days ago.

Heaven forbid that poster ever had to deal with Sportsguy.  He's harangue, he'd berate, he'd skirt every rule the board had.  I'm a daisy in the field in comparison.

Do our doctors do deadline deal consulting? "In our opinion this shoulder will last 3.8 years."

If they did, we could pay for a starter from what we could get leasing them out.

Will be a bit troublesome for him to get his rehab work in that late in the year but if I'm the Dodgers I don't panic.

Which is why, if I'm the Dodgers, I look at a guy like Tillman, someone I won't have to give up much for, but can fill out the rotation. I really and truly believe he would do fantastic in the NL. But it also would allow them to save their big chips for bullpen relief.

Jaime Garcia does finally go to Minnesota.   Deal almost happened last week but a medical issue held it up.

And all Atlanta got back was the #22 prospect in the Twins organization.

So anyone who thinks we'll get much of anything for Tillman is probably draming.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      Adley is having a down year. I believe he will bounce back.

      Can the O's hit Lugo and Wacha?

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      I admire those of you who have such confidence in this offense. It’s been absolutely terrible for months, other than the last week of the season. It was beyond terrible yesterday- yes Ragans was good but the approach was awful by every hitter. I’ll be thrilled for them to prove me overly pessimistic, but I have zero faith in these bats.  This is at least partially a defense mechanism. I am not ready for the baseball season to be over, and another terribly quick exit from the postseason would just be so dreadful. I don’t need them to win the WS. But winning one GD game would be nice. Not looking forward to six months without baseball.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By waroriole · Posted

      You don’t have to twist yourself into a pretzel to defend Hyde. If Santander’s defense costs us, it means we got to extra innings and pinch running for OHearn was the right call. Also, are you really trying to say that OHearn is so valuable a defender at 1B that we couldn’t stand to lose that glove in extras? I doubt he’s even better than Santander.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      Wieters' bWAR was 13.3 through his first 4 seasons (2009 - 2012).  It ended at 18.3 after his last season in 2020, so he was basically ineffective for the last 8 years of his career. Adley's bWAR is 13.1 through his first 3 seasons. So it isn't like Wieters didn't have a strong start to his career just like Adley did.  I think the concern that folks have is that the rest of Adley's career will play out like the rest of Wieters' career.  It seemed very unlikely halfway through this year, but this has been one hell of a drop-off.   And after Wieters never lived up to expectations, it is definitely a fear that we may be reliving this again.  Let's hope this second half was just an aberration.

      Adley has been in a horrible almost 4 month slump. Before that, he was the WAY BETTER offensive player. But I pose this question: What does it matter if Rutschman turns out to be worse than Wieters? Matt Wieters was drafted almost TWENTY YEARS AGO. No one in this org had anything to do with him being on our roster. HEck none of our current front office was even here for his entire Orioles' career.

      I do feel like Adley is out of shape or at least has gotten more out of shape than usual. That’s part of the reason I think he’s hurt…not working out as much. If he is healthy and the slump is this bad, I’m ok questioning whether or not the new GF(ie the distraction) is part of it. Is he putting everything into the game that he should?
