Santander is making a good impression so far.   Two homers, a number of hits, and a couple of good defensive plays.    Buck has said twice now that Santander is making his case not just to stay on the

For me Trumbo is the biggest reason that I wish Trumbo was not on this team.

So you suggest he just use big black and white letters?  We'll agree to disagree.

DJ Stewart in left, Mullins in center, Hays in right, Mancini at first, and Santander DH'ing sound even better.

Where is Chris Davis in this situation?  I don't see him retiring anytime soon and his contract is untradeable.  Maybe he is so bad that he has to be DFA'd at some point and we can have an alignment like that.  I don't see that happening before 2020 though. 

It's too bad prospect for prospect trades almost never happen because it would be nice if we could trade one of these outfielders for a young pitcher or at least a middle IF prospect.  By most accounts, that is where Mountcastle will end up too so we probably will need to pursue some kind of trade. 

Regardless, the law of attrition tells us that at least one of our OF prospects won't pan out and the potential clog will clear itself.  My bet is Stewart or Mullins, I'm just not sure which one.  Maybe Mullins ends up a fourth outfielder type.  Santander just looks like a big leaguer/classic slugging corner OF to me (I know that's not a great analysis) and Hays is as close to a can't miss guy as we have in our system.

I’m talking about natural b-12 and other vitamins that come in OJ. Not injecting b-12 that would make him look like Venezuelan OJ. 

Oops - perhaps you should delete that second sentence of your answer and I will delete my joking "pregunta"?  btw - I did delete it

      Trying to figure out which part of this is the most absurd is really difficult.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By jem709 · Posted

      If I am reading correct (and I may not  be) Gil is eligible for ROY but not the PPI pick as he was not on 2 of three top 100 list.  Can someone tell me if that is correct please. it would be nice to get another pick.

      more evidence that fWAR is the better metric, right? cowser isn't below replacement level defensively - so that # should be positive, right?

      The O's made the playoffs.   The players  Elias acquired at the deadline helped make that happen.  Without those players and with all the injuries the O's probably do not make the playoffs.   Eflin has been a key starter.  Dominguez has saved 10 for 11.   Soto has an ERA under 2.00 in September.    Slater is a better version of McKenna  and has helped in the outfield. The O's still have 2 or more years to fix Rogers.   I agree Jimenez did not help but he didn't cost much either.

      I think the hottest ever saw an O's team enter the playoffs was 1974. 28 of 34, 16 of their last 18, including 9 in row to close it out. Won game one of the playoffs, lost the next 3 including 30 straight innings scoreless. what happened yesterday does not gaurentee today

      As I have said before,  someone on the O's thinks they can fix Rogers or they would not have traded for him.   He has lost a couple of miles on this fastball and that could be mechanics. Rogers has 2 options left so they can fix his in ST and the minors.  His service clock is stopped while he is in the minors.  He has two more years of major league service time left. It's a little premature to count Rogers as a bust.   Acquiring his is adding a lefthanded starter to the O's pitching depth.  He will turns 27 in November which is not old.  Heck, Suarez is 34 and added a lot to O's pitching staff this season.

      You mean a AAAA starter.  Sometimes I think he thinks he’s smarter than everybody else, so he does things that no one else would do just to prove a point. I don’t actually think he wants to spend money on free agents. I think he likes the idea of trying to be the smartest man in the room. I think his attitude is going to change somewhat next off-season, After his many blunders at the trade deadline.
