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.

I think it was a major mistake to have him on the roster.  Just another bone head move by the team.  

Why we were built to fail anyway. Why not play the lotto on the guy?  

Rasmus is done. He was done last year. Rickard had a 600 OPS in AAA until going 5-5 last night. Who were the options?

Stewart.

Not that I overly care about Santander putting in his 44 days.

Rasmus shouldn't have made the team.

20 more days left of Santander. I like his potential, but it’s looking like he’s way overmatched up here. 

Hopefully he will light it up at Bowie starting in a few weeks and adjust his game. 

Disagree that he looks over matched. He looks like a rookie. But he's having decent at bats. He's taking good swings. And unlike 70 percent of the line up he actually looks like he has a quick bat and has at least some semblance of an idea of what he's doing at the plate.

His defense is also far better than advertised. 

Unlike other O's "prospects" in the recent past, such as Joey Rickard, this guy actually has a major league body. He's got a strong lower base, thick center, and he's quick twitched. 

Keep throwing him out there. He looks like he'll come around.

In his last 11 games (9 starts), he’s hitting .100/.100/.133, with 11 strikeouts in 30 PA.    I’d say he looks a bit overmatched.   

He has looked as bad as many others.He lined a shot to the pitcher yesterday and hit a long fly ball later in the game. Also had a good 10 pitch at Bat on Sunday vs Kluber.Not saying he has looked good but some others on the Orioles look as bad.

.215 OBP in 89 major league at-bats and shaky defense. Obligatory he was rushed and he's young, but there's a reason we're about the only team that goes so balls deep in this Rule 5 nonsense. Other teams just spend a few bucks on international talent or y'know trade for players.

      Skubal trade..Kjerstad, Mountcastle, McDermott and Bradfield?

      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.

      Coby Mayo 2024

      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.

      Coby Mayo 2024

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      I couldn’t help myself, I checked the replies and that guy on Twitter is saying it’s a rumor from the Mayo family but didn’t say where and he said it’s not anyone verified. So absolutely wouldn’t put any stock in that.  That said - I do see some logic here if there are a string of LHP coming up. Send Cowser to AAA for some more regular ABs, get Mayo up for the LHP and buy some time. Mullins plays CF and maybe Mateo is the backup CF or starts there vs the LHP (with Mayo 3B and Westburg 2B). The trade deadline is in 3 weeks. If they are committed to trading Urias, they could call up Cowser after the minimum AAA stint and DFA Urias, and then IIRC the DFA period to trade Urias is something like a week and would run through the trade deadline. They’d lose some leverage in trading him after a DFA, but that way they’ll know they will either get something for him then or there just never would have been enough demand across the league to move him.

      As much of a crapshoot as the playoffs are, I'd say a 5% boost is worth quite a bit.
