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

      We have the best inside the Mayo family source there is.  @Roy Firestone have you heard anything about an imminent Coby Mayo promotion?

      No they don’t but it would be a big help.

      How much faith do you have in Elias to address the needs this month?

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I don't really want to see an all in trade given the risk involved with picking up any pitcher in the game right now. I want to see if veteran players on a big contract are an option now with Rubenstein. A player like Max Scherzer should be on the table as a means to add another viable starting pitcher. I have to think under Angelos a player like Scherzer would be too expensive and a nonstarter. I'd rather pay $$$ for some high priced veterans over giving up top prospects for one pitcher that you pray doesn't get a sore elbow.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I’m not an actuary. That’s @Filmstudy realm. He’s a master at calculating odds. Here’s what I will say. I think (just my two cents) that Elias should be aiming to come away from the trade deadline with a starting pitcher who is a real difference maker. And hopefully a bullpen arm or two that have power/strikeout stuff (unlike all of our relievers currently not named Kimbrel). Elias should be trying to increase our odds as high as possible. I don’t know by what percent our odds will increase. But I do know that if we add a top of the rotation type pitcher to what we have, the odds of us likely being successful against ANY TEAM in the Fall will go up. This again is just my opinion (for whatever that is worth) but it sends the right message to the players that you are invested in truly trying to get this team over the line (World Series trophy). If the message that is sent to the players continues to be “one foot in and one foot out”. I’m not sure if that is a strong appeal to ultra competitors like Gunnar and Adley. People might say well who cares what the players think? But it is probably going to play a roll (what they think/how they feel) in whether or not they are willing to re-up here longterm. And I can’t envision a version of the Orioles that is as strong and as viable to maximizing the earnings/value of the franchise without them. I’ve said this before, but I attend a lot of games and I’m around town very often. I see all of the #2 and #35 shirts on people’s backs in the stadium and around the community. Lastly, I believe that it is very important that we do right for players like Stowers and Norby. I get and I’m sure they understand that there may not be a place for them on the Baltimore Orioles. But you can’t leave guys buried at AAA for years and never give them a chance, especially when we are talking about prime years. These guys only have so many years to make money by playing the game. If you can’t use them, send them elsewhere. I have never been a big believer that you get rewarded by treating people (and that is what all the players actually are) wrong.

      Holliday, Mayo or Basallo

      By TopGunnar · Posted

      Holliday isn’t being traded lol. And I highly doubt Mayo is traded. Basallo is expendable to me. We have Adley.

      Seems logical with the lefties coming up. It's time. Get him a taste before the AS break, temporarily option someone, then make a deal at the deadline to jettison someone like Urias.
