The guy who runs Camden Depot is an ass IMO

Eh, sometimes he comes off that way, but as someone who has interacted with him on twitter and on his site, I think he's just a guy who is passionate about analytics and has a strong point of view.  Yeah, that conflicts with the misconceptions some fans have, but I think in whole he's a helpful voice in the Orioles community.  The Trumbo joke was in bad taste though, he has some org. contacts so people do looks for him for rumors of upcoming moves.

I’ve interacted with him on twitter too. He just comes off as an arrogant brainiac. His twitter feed is full of his personal politics too, recently. Like come on, you’re a baseball blog, stay that way

Playoff tickets.  Print em.

Was about to freak that we traded Trumbo.  Nice sense of humor, Camden Depot.  Way to go.

500K of international slot. That the Orioles were not going to spend.

At least our GM is savy enough to accept this and make the most of it.  DD was hired back in 2011-2012 offseason right?  There'd be some international guys from those years that would up here by now, or at least being assets in the minors.  

Wade is essentially our replacements for Wilson and Wright.  Wilson is already gone, and Wright is out of options.  Wade will probably be an up/down(Norfolk shuttle) guy for 2-3 years if he can have any success in AAA.

From MLBTR:

As Matt Eddy of Baseball America points out, the O’s have now made eight trades sending away their international bonus pool funds since the signing period opened on July 2. The other 29 teams in the league have combined to make 13 trades involving international money in that time.

So, the O's think he's worth $500,000 of international slot money but also think no team will give up $100,000 in real money to take him in the Rule 5 draft. Would be kind of funny if the Rockies took him in the Rule 5. They'd get their slot money and their player, too.

I'm starting to see Chris Gomez Part 2 in our future.

That's the best thing for us.  We took $500,000 in money we were never going to spend and turned it into a quick 100k.  That's great business.

500K apparently has some value.   Someone was able to get a top 10-15 prospect from Seattle for a kid who has already thrown in the majors and apparently can hit 103 on the gun.    We gave a 500K in int money and got back a pitcher that had close to zero value.      It's fine that DD knows he can't use the international money and wants to use it to acquire players.    There is just no justification that I have seen that you use it to acquire someone like Konner Wade.    This guy has never been a top 30 prospect in his system.   The Rockies weren't going to protect him the Rule 5 and I guarantee that no one was going to take him.     5-10 guys with a similar profile to Konner Wade will be available on the waiver wire from now until ST.     

Agreed. Should have gotten a better pitcher for the 500k that the GM was not permitted to spend.

      He'll go back to pulling pitches and hit 30 HRs there.

      I tend to agree with this.  We certainly aren't the best farm system any more and it's time to use Uncle Dave's money some.  I'm in favor of buying the pitching we need.  There are some good FA arms out there.  If there's a bat on another team they want to trade for that's different since the FA position player list isn't good.

      This what I think happens too.  We'll trade from the FV 40ish tier not the 45 or higher tier.  And I can see dealing from the top ofthe deck (i.e. Mounty, Urias, Kremer*...) to build the ceiling of the pipeljne or weaker/thinner positions.  *A Kremer based deal would be predicated on an FA SP signing.  I don't see it happening but it's an interesting case study.

      Trade Target - Jose Quintana

      Maybe he should be a free agent target this offseason.

      Hays hit .354 / .404 / .537 against LH pitching this season. I would absolutely take him back as a platoon player who can fill in all three OF positions. Given the number of southpaws other teams throw against us we'd be nuts not to consider signing him if he gets DFA'd.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By Warehouse · Posted

      I went and checked how we compared to other playoff teams in platooning and pinch-hitting during the playoffs.  I used the first two wildcard games as the sample to keep it apples to apples with the Orioles’ experience.  For the 8 wildcard teams, I counted the number of line-up changes from game 1 to game 2 and the number of pinch hit PAs and added them together.  For lineup changes, I didn’t consider batting order or positions, only the number of hitters that started game 1 but didn’t start game 2 (only McCann for the Orioles). The Orioles were middle of the pack - 4th highest moves among the 8 wildcard teams. #       Team                Lineup changes Pinch hits PAs Total        T1 Tigers 3 5 8            T1 Astros 1 7 8 3 Mets 1 6 7 4 Orioles 1 5 6 5 Royals 1 4 5 6 Braves 1 2 3 7 Brewers 1 1 2 8 Padres 0 0 0 For some additional context, only the Orioles and Tigers faced different-handed starters the first two games AND had opposing pitcher handedness change at least 5 times in those games. Teams that faced same-hand starter both days: Royals Astros Mets Braves   Number times opposing pitcher handedness changed in game: Astros - 8 Royals - 8 Orioles - 5 Tigers - 5 Mets - 4 Padres - 3 Braves - 2 Brewers - 1

      If Hays is non tendered he will be looking for the team that will play him full time.     And he might find it.   He in not even 30 yet.   But the O's don't have that to offer him.
