You guys think Buck will give this guy a real chance? 

With us still technically in the race, Mancini in left, and Smith in right, I really don't see where he plays. Although Smith was out yesterday so maybe there's an injury. Just don't see where he fits in. 

If he hits & doesn't hurt us defensively he will play. Mancini hit his way in, I think AS will get a shot to stick in the lineup.

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.

You could move Trumbo, never Davis. 

Yeah, I agree.  I just looked over a list of salaries and the closest match would be Jordan Zimmerman, but he's about two years short.  If it was a five year contract that might work from a financial standpoint, but the Tigers don't really need a first baseman. 

Several potential matches for Trumbo.  Phil Hughes, Ricky Nolasco?

Switch hitter. Also, Joey. Smith is a platoon guy. So is Rickard.

He has 1 option remaining, per Buck.

That may be wrong but for a different reason.  Beckham may have two options.

Beckham was optioned in 2013.  That is one.

In 2014 he tore his ACL in ST.  He missed 116 games and was optioned on August 10.   Because the AAA season end in 20-25 days this rule may apply  

  • An option year is not used if a player is injured and spends 30 days or less on an active roster.

  In 2015 he was option twice for a total of 19 days. So this rule applies:

  • If a player’s optional assignment(s) to the minors total less than 20 days in one season, an option is not used.

In 2016 he was option twice once for 6 days and once on August 31st.  The minor season stop in probably 5 days.  If that is  the case the 20 day rules applies and no option was used.

No option has been used in 2017.

So it looks to me that a option was used in 2013 and he has two left.

As others have said, I'm almost certain they do count.

Is the potential confusion regarding how extended roster September call-ups' service time is impacted?

September games absolutely DO COUNT for Rule V acquisitions. 100%.

The Orioles would not be the only team deserving to be frowned upon. Take Atlanta, for example. The Braves drafted pitcher Dan Winkler in December, 2014 from Colorado. Winkler had received Tommy John surgery five months earlier, so everyone knew at the time of the draft that his timetable to return was expected to be somewhere around July, 2016 on a minor-league rehab stint. He ended up not making it to the Braves until September (those games counted towards his 90 days). The Atlanta brass knew exactly what they were doing when they drafted Winkler: working within the constructs of the rules regardless of how shady it may seem to some.

Of course, some times it turns out to be more than frowning:

Quote

The Cubs selected the right-handed pitcher, Lendy Castillo, in the Rule 5 Draft in December of 2011 from the Phillies. Castillo broke camp on the Cubs’ active roster that spring  and by rule, the Cubs had to keep Castillo on the active roster the entire season or offer him back to the Phillies.

Castillo was placed on the 15-day DL on May 12, 2012 with a reported left groin strain. Castillo pitched in the minors, rehabbing what was thought at the time “an injury.” Castillo’s roster status was officially changed on August 11.

It is not uncommon for teams to place Rule 5 Draft picks on the disabled list with “injuries” in order to stash them in the system and not offer the player back to his original organization. The Phillies apparently did not agree with the Cubs’ practice on this occasion and called them on it.

So what did the Phillies get for their trouble? The Cubs' 1st round pick in the 2013 Rule V draft.

It looks like he is noticeably better from the left side, but with the way Trumbo is hitting, I'd play Santander instead, at least against righties, might give us a spark. Defensively he's most likely better than Trumbo as well.

I am seeing equal righty/lefty splits for Santander. Where are you finding a difference?

Hughes just had thoracic outlet syndrome revision surgery for the second time in 14 months. 
Nolasco looks like we would be yearning for the days of Ubaldo and Wade Miley. 
I do like the idea someone floated of Samardzija. The Giants have said they need a "bopper" in their lineup. “We really need a big bopper in that lineup,’’ (Manager Bruce) Bochy says, “just to take the pressure off everybody else.’’ I'd pay 70% of Trumbo's salary if they'd trade Ty Blach. Hell, i might even take on Matt Moore, just to clear Trumbo's deadweight (He is deadweight on the Orioles, at least, though not on every other team). At least they could buyout Moore in 2018 and/or 2019.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I didn't watch a pitch Sunday after that Saturday debacle. I had a charity ride to attend anyways, but I was not wasting a Sunday on this 2024 squad.  I'll probably watch some of the Yankees game, but my heart is out of this squad. I still want them to win, but they have given me no reason since May to think this team has any special abilities.  Injuries hurt them for sure, but they just don't have that "it" factor. They have the choke factor down pat though. I can deal with a bad team. Hell, I ran this place through the darkest, leanest years.  But what I can't deal with is an anti-clutch team. This is a team that can look victory in the face and find a way to lose. This is team with no ability to finish off a comeback.  Hell, even in their walk offs it's after their relievers choked away a lead.  The lack of hitting is boring. The lack of situational hitting is boring. The strikeout/homerun all or nothing approach is boring. The fact that they no longer steal bases or put pressure on the defense unless you count Masolino getting guys thrown out by 10 feet, is boring. The fact that both of their super prospects not came up did poorly, but literally crapped the bed and hit like pitchers is boring.  The fact that both of their number one overall selections have been either bad or awful is boring.  The fact that the "TOR" they picked up this offseason took a month and half "off" is boring. The fact that the Orioles still have Jimenez and Rivera on this team is boring.  It's just a boring team.  I'm just not interested in this 2024 squad and have zero faith in them that they can do anything in the playoffs. Even against the Royals (who will run all over the Orioles if they play them) or Twins, I don't give them much of a chance.  I'll never root against an Orioles team, and I hope that some miracle happens and they suddenly become a better team. But I will continue to say that this has been one of the most frustrating Orioles Playoff teams of all time.

      Now that Snyder has gone I can passively hope they do well. They should have kept the old name (Washington Football Team).

      Daniels just completed a pass for 55 yards thru the air.  The guy has a heck of an arm.  Commanders look like a good team again and are dominating an 0-2 Bengals team that is desperate for a win.  21-10 in 2nd quarter.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      Westburg is the guy I'd want to run a bit more, he seems a bit more like a heady type player so I could see his instincts growing there, and he had decent numbers in the minors. He's had an interesting year in the SB department, stole 4/5 in the month of April, then 1/3 in May and 1/1 in June, but hasn't had a straight steal since June 3rd. Wonder if moving up in the lineup killed his run game?

      Or a guy that can just come up and give innings when the bullpen is shot after a doubleheader or even give a spot start and then be sent back down.  Is Pham a likely future ML starter, no, but he might bail the O's out of a pitching bind multiple times next year.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By slakattack · Posted

      Saturday's game was epically bad and not the type of loss a team on the upswing into the playoffs would suffer and one that I certainly hate to witness. I couldn't watch most of the game Sunday, but I wouldn't DVR it and then peek at the score either, I don't think that I would ever watch if I knew the outcome of a game in advance. The surprise elation (Gunnar's bases loaded double) and the agony of the non-send and inability to hit a sac fly is what keeps me coming back, old fool that I am.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      Predicting what the attendance will do next year is like predicting Hurrican season in January.  There are so many outside factors that it is just a guess.  How will they finish the year, how much will the spend in the offseason, how many corporations want to get ticket plans,   how is the economy in 6 months, how do they play next season what teams we play and when, will teams like Red Sox, Yankees and big draws play well.   I also think one of the biggest factors is what corporations want to sponsor give aways and what time of promotions will they run.  If you look at attendance some of the largest attendance games minus the Phillies, Yankees games are for the best giveaway souvenirs.
