All bWAR numbers 

Davis 23M- I know 6M deferred, 0.1 WAR 

Trumbo 11.5M, 0.0 WAR

Hardy 14M, -0.7 WAR

Miley 8.9M, 0.7 WAR

Tillman 10.05M, -2.1 WAR

Ubaldo 13.5M, -1.2 WAR

You can break it down a million ways. Britton and O'Day could be added, etc. That said we have a replacement for Hardy at least. People bring up needing 3 starting pitchers. Well the 3 they are replacing are making a combined 32.45M with -2.6 WAR. Miley at least has not been a total embarrassment but still. 

Trumbo and Davis aren't going anywhere. Perhaps can hope for a slight improvement next year. Hope...  Beckham, warts and all will help at SS. Going to be hard to match the 3.3 WAR from Castillo and Joseph but RF is an area we can improve along with SS.  

As far as the starting pitching goes it has only one place to go I would hope. Bundy is at 2.6 WAR, Gausman 1.1. Need more from Kevin. We shall see what happens but we aren't exactly replacing Palmer, Cuellar and McNally.

Indefensible. A shockingly bad allocation of resources. Tillman is not on DD, just bad luck there, and I don't blame Dan for Hardy either. The rest of this mess, with possibly the exception of Davis, is on DD. Oh, don't forget about Gallardo, and the draft picks the Orioles gave up, or didn't recoup from letting guys like Davis and Trumbo walk...

The more I look at DD's recent performance, the more I am convinced it's time for him to move on after the season.

I'm sure you could breakdown other teams and see similar production. In many cases age and injures are factors. Of course those 2 tend to go hand in hand. 

It is hard-not impossible- to bring in outside pitching help and it is a young man's game.

I mean, four of those players aren't here next year.

To those that think DD needs to be canned... who will replace him?

Brady.....

I think it does point out that a team like the Orioles can afford a Manny if they allocate their resources better.

How is Tillman not on Dan? He was injured last season. They tendered an injured player a contract.

I think with Tillman's track record, he had to be brought back and given an opportunity. It would be a bad look for the organization to non-tender Tillman, then try to bring him back on a discounted contract considering his contributions to the club over the past several years. Business decisions should be cold and calculated, but not heartless.

Looks like it could be Brady, but he wouldn't be my choice. I'm sure that if the Orioles looked hard enough they could find a young, hungry, and talented guy to come work for Peter. As Weems says, there are only 30 of these jobs to go around - even working for Angelos, it is a coveted position.

With so much money coming off after this season, seems like they are allocated okay to me. I certainly haven't read anywhere that they are unable to sign Manny because of money, other than that he's asking for the moon. All thirty teams would struggle to fit Manny in the budget.

Also, what makes Brady more qualified  (or at all qualified) to replace DD? He's already part of this organization some of you have deemed "mismanaged". Has he come out publicly against these moves that show he's making sound choices against what his employers think? Why would we think that he's not already heavily involved in the decisions the Orioles have already made?

It wasn't obvious that injury was going to linger.    Tillman made five starts last year after coming back from his injury:

6.0 IP 1 ER

5.2 IP 3 ER

1.2 IP 3 ER

5.2 IP 1 ER

4.1 IP 2 ER (WC game)

That's a 3.86 ERA.    Perhaps not vintage Tillman, but I don't remember anyone being particularly concerned that he had an injury that was likely to linger into 2017.

This franchise is used to bad looks.

He showed up for camp with the same injury he had last year.

Bringing him back is 100% on the gm.

Easy for you sit here today and say that...

I didn't see you making this call in spring training.

Just one of those things.

It's also an avg of less than 5 innings per start.

      Orioles ZiPS are out

      By now · Posted

      With a previous post in this thread I highlighted a selection of notable or memorable comps for our current Orioles. Now I wonder what it would look like to compare our best roster (from that selected list, in order of WAR) with the corresponding squad of not-all-stars.   Without further ado, here's our team alongside its historic counterparts: LF    Norby        Eugenio Suarez CF    Mullins        Kevin Kiermaier RF    Cowser        Ken Singleton 1B    Mayo        Bill Melton 2B    Holliday    Arky Vaughan SS    Ortiz        Jose Pagan 3B    Henderson    Bill Madlock C    Ruthschman    Ted Simmons DH    Westburg    Robby Thompson     Bench    Mateo        Greg Gagne     SP1    Bradish        Justin Verlander SP2    Kremer        Johnny Cueto SP3    Rodriguez    Jose Berrios SP4    Povich        Jarrod Washburn     SP5    Irvin        Scott McGregor RP1    Pham        Jeff Samardzija RP2    McDermott    Steve Renko RP3    Vespi        Graeme Lloyd RP4    Baker        Matt Albers Closer    Bautista    Trevor Hoffman Oddly enough, it's the starting rotation that appears the strength of our team of doppelgangers.

      Lucas Giolito on waivers?

      By Chicago White Sox · Posted

      Regarding Cooper, he was a fantastic pitching coach for a long time, but the game simply passed him by.  Near the end of his tenure, after a tough season Giolito actually went and worked with Ethan Katz (our current pitching coach and his former HS pitching coach) and he came back new and improved.  Katz also got a ton of credit for developing Cease and getting Rodon to finally tap into his potential. A year ago I would have been high on Katz, but last year was such a disaster that I’m not sure what to think.  It’s clear he’s got a much more modern take on pitching than Cooper, but I also think the org in general is so behind the times when it comes analytics & biometrics that there is only so much he can do.  We don’t have a single voice driving an org wide pitching philosophy (which is evident in our PD system) or much of a pitching lab to get the most out of guys.  Hopefully that will change for the better with the addition of Brian Bannister. All that being said, I don’t believe for a second we get all we can out of our guys.  Katz obviously helped Giolito, Cease, & Rodon improve but these were all elite prospects acquired from other orgs.  We still struggle to unlock the next tier of guys, although I blame that on broader organizational issues than purely Katz.

      2024 Start Times

      By accinfo · Posted

      I love this.  Most fans that go to the game live within 45 minutes of the ballpark I would suspect.  The good thing is you can get home by 10:00 most evenings.

      2024 Start Times

      By Big Mac · Posted

      I selfishly don't like it, I'm a displaced fan in the central time zone.  5:30 weeknight start times are rough for me, the games are usually over before I get home from the office.  But they should make decisions based on the people who might actually go to the games.

      Closer carousel, and....how badly would Aroldis feel?

      By 24fps · Posted

      That's something that can only be determined in hindsight.  Lots of options and lots of flexibility this offseason to really set the team up for the next 2-3 years.  I'm very curious to see how it plays out.  Checking my crystal ball, I don't see Aroldis Chapman anywhere on the program

      I agree and I don't want him on the team.  But I'm not sure this specific moment is more critical than say, when he picked Gunnar Henderson in the second round.

      Naoyuki Uwasawa Offer Being Prepared?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      Perhaps he looked and doesn’t have the dough to spend or wants to part with the asking price for Cease or 1 year of the other guys rumored available.
