I don't see why this is a "publicity stunt".  What is being gained in public relations by doing this?  A lot of these guys are trying to hang on, many won't.   Clippard's career shouldn't be over.  Yes, he was below average for the year, but had a really good, though brief, stint in Chicago.  If we had him on a minor league deal, Buck would be more okay with trading Brach for a starter.

And again, about Johnson.  Say Schoop gets hurt and is out for two months, would you rather Johnson get those ABs or Vielma?

Tyler Clippard, Saltalamachia, De Aza, Gorzelanny, Chris Johnson.

One of the points in the article was that these types of guys would get minor league deals with ST invites.  They're not getting those now.  For example, one could make a case that Chris Johnson is a better fit for the Orioles than Tejada or Vielma.  But they won't give him a ST invite?

Hell, despite being out of baseball in 2017 Gorzelanny could be our number 3 starter.

Didn't pitch in 2017.... hadn't pitched 100 innings since 2011....75 has been the most 3-4 years ago...Sorry but I don't agree with your point. If if he's our 5th starter it's real bad news.

      Who sits for Slater in Game One?

      I agree, McCann C is decision number one. After that, against a reverse split guy I think you just start your best overall players. However, O'Hearn has such poor splits vs LHP and so little experience I can't imagine they start him. Adley DH would allow Hyde to avoid the O'Hearn vs LHP decision. Kjerstad had hit lefties well but they gave him only 18 AB. That is a big ask of a rookie. Might be Adley if they think McCann makes Burnes better. Definite starters: Gunnar, Westburg, Santander, Mountcastle, Urias, Cowser Probable: Mullins Pick two: Adley, McCann, O'Hearn, Kjerstad

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      What you said here is what I’ve been trying to convey.  OAA and dWAR aren’t intended to measure the same thing.   They shouldn’t be mentioned together.  If Fangraphs took its FRV and Positional stats and added them together, then divided that number by 10ish to convert it from runs to wins, you’d have a stat to compare to dWAR.

      I think Adley is the DH tomorrow.

      Nice job pointing out Ragans pitches better against righties than lefties: The Orioles put a heavy emphasis on the pitcher's splits over the hitter's split, so Mullins could very well start. Interestingly though, lefties BABIP was a unsustainable .345. Here's his pitch% and results against lefties this year. With this info, I think the Orioles very well may start Mullins instead of Slater. Now, will they start O'Hearn over Rivera at DH?

      Nope I wanna see the guy with the better defense. Just pointing out that Slater’s only “advantage” is another liability. Plus, Reagan’s is a reverse splits guy.

      The Dull Orange Machine

      The late season partial revival was enough for BAL to finish 3rd MLB-wide to the Judge/Soto team and the Shohei/Mookie/Freddie one. Split up those first two and put another year on everybody else, and I like our shot to go 1st some season soon. Park effects, it is notable the FG readout gives the Orioles with a 250/315/435 line a fraction of a point edge in the 115 wRC+ tie for 3rd and 4th with the Diamondbacks, who posted a 263/337/440 line. Don't be dull, October Orange Machine.

      Mullins has slashed .196/.228/.278/.506 against lefties this year. Slater has not had a great year overall and his September was terrible, but the Orioles really like platoon matchups. Plus, having Mullins speed and pop on the bench gives them options late in games.
