I do not think one relates to the other if you are looking for Building Blocks.  Why would you mention "Trade Value" on a 24 year old building block.  IF the rebuild is three to five years , Santander will be in his prime and a Free Agent in 2024.

The reason I mention it is because it is entirely possible to have value to a team without having any trade value. Villar and Núñez Are each a case in point, for example.

Having trade value doesn’t mean we will trade him, or we should trade him, only that we can. And it increases our options.

 Finally, although I think he’s a no brainer for next years team, I’m not at all sure he is a building block, i.e. a cornerstone of our next contending team. He may be, but that remains to be seen, Which is true of everybody we currently have.

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.

And everybody we get/sign.

The reason I mention the part of trade value is that nobody would give enough back for a 5 year controllable player that has shown the improvement that Santander has.  Would he be asked for in trades?? Yes, asked for but the demand for players in return would exceed the chance to trade him.

 Yes, you are exactly right. I don’t think he would bring back a “building block“ if he were traded he would bring back future value. And we are assuming that if he were traded he would bring back greater future value than his own.

As I said, I’m not saying we should or will, but it is significant that we can.

Bright spots and surprises:

Means, Alberto, Santander, Severino.

Santander is the brightest, probably. A genuinely solid all-around player with a long future and real trade value.

I’d add Nunez and Villar. Villar is having a career year. Santander has been great. Earlier in this thread I wrote “20?”.  He’s looking at like 25 now. I like that he’s been doing it from both sides of the plate. 

vs RHP - .828 OPS

vs LHP - .884 OPS

This offense is pretty solid right now.

I like that, esp. considering how one-sided the O's other hitters (incl. so-called "switchhitters" like Mullins and Wilkerson) have been the last year or two.

With what do you disagree? I like Stewart more than most here, but Santander has an opportunity. That’s all I’m saying.

I don't think he does.  He's having a couple good games.  He's also got a 737 OPS in juiced ball Norfolk.  He isn't that good and it will show.

Folks get all excited when a guy comes up and has a few good games.

So....

      Who sits for Slater in Game One?

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      What do you mean starting for Slater? He is not a starter. The Ragans matchup makes things interesting because he has reverse splits. I don't know the numbers but they need to start the guys with good numbers vs Ragans and/or LHP changeups, whether they are LH or RH.

      2024 Week 4: Ravens vs Bills on SNF

      Perhaps. I'm just saying he could stop the Chiefs, the Raiders disaster, and the Cowboys debacle certainly gave me pause.  Last night they certainly looked better, but the first 3 games gave me pause. I think we'll know more after a full season.

      Observations at the end of the regular season....

      By Sanity Check · Posted

      1. If the Orioles had signed Jack Flaherty, Seth Lugo and Chris Sale to bolster our pitching staff last off-season, this place would have gone ballistic, and not in a good way. 2.  The Orioles ended the regular season last year flat as a pancake, and it carried into the offseason.  This year, while under the pressure of trying to keep up with the Yankees, the team struggled mightily to find consistent offense and any overall consistency.  Once that pressure waned with us knowing our destiny, guys seemed to loosen up, and we saw the offense come back.  I thought that might happen.  However, my question is, after laying an egg in the playoffs last year and recent struggles despite the last two series, does the pressure of the postseason put us back in the funk we saw throughout most of August and September? 3.  I've seen a consistent theme in this forum over the past week or two which is this:  "All we have to do is get hot at the right time, like Texas did last year."  While I agree that's true, and want us to be that team this year, isn't that statement kind of an admission that without getting hot, we're not good enough on our own merits to persevere in the tournament?  And before I get crucified for saying that, I'll point to what everyone has witnessed in recent months:  Bad/inconsistent bullpen, inconsistent offense, questions about our starting pitching, defensive lapses and being prone to not showing up offensively.  And please, let's not act like some, or all of these, don't exist.   That all being said, Go O's!!!!!  Let's get hot!!

      This Playoff Start From Burnes Defines His Time With the O’s

      All of the October ones will.    Tomorrow good chance to be the least important one if things go any kind of good. Granted ~40% chance it is the only one, but that is short series baseball, not him. I won't have warm feelings if he handles these guys but is bad twice the next series.

      Would be upsetting to start Slater in any playoff game at this point. Even if you think Mullins/Cowser cant hit LHP (news flash Slater cant either)- keep the defense and the guys who "got you there"

      Os vs KC in WC round

      By terpoh · Posted

      If the point was "Skubal is better" you kind of proved that for them. More innings, more K's, less ER, less Walks, less hits, better W/L. Across the board. Ragans is very very very good- but Skubal is better, and the runaway for AL Cy Young. Either is capable of shutting down an offense- and Ragans did just that earlier this year. But we also roughed up Ragans in the other start. No matter who we face, we're going to find things that make it tough, its the playoffs. Lets keep playing good ball and get payback for 2014.
