Rasmus in LF?

It’s a consideration because there’s more ground to cover at OPACY in LF. However, Rasmus is a plus defender and the wall in RF has been known to be an added negative. Remember when Markakis was still a solid defender and yet he was receiving less than solid marks?

Maybe I’m remembering wrong and he was already in defensive decline as well. There was some talk here about the questionable marks and the wall playing a part as I recall.

Anyway, Santander seems to be moving pretty well and is better than advertised, although, I thought he looked athletic enough last year.

I'm not intending to sell him short.  Rasmus would be in RF and Santander would DH against lefties.  Santander would play RF and Valencia would DH against lefties.  For some lefties you could play Gentry in left and Mancini to 1B or DH with Valencia.

Right.

Does Santander have the superior arm?  I'd have to imagine Rasmus has better range.

Rasmus better hose too.

I honestly don't remember that question about OPACY defensive metrics ever being answered (one way or the other).

You’re no help.

I honestly have wanted that answer for years.  It seemingly was raised then swept under the rug because nobody could answer it (please correct me if I'm wrong).

IIRC (heavy qualifier there) Jones and Markakis were both worse at OPACY than on the road, especially Markakis (as well as relative to eye test of insiders).  Further, visitors seemed to be dinged there as well.

Well that settles that. After it gets to PA's desk it goes to Weams'.

No, I’m sure you’re right. It was talked about, but not resolved satisfactorily. And people seemed miffed. It was puzzling.

Did you see that in the press?

Two guys who both basically hit 50 bombs as Orioles are hurt and literally no one cares. Even casual fans. That's telling.

It certainly tells something... but I'm not sure what it is.

I like Reynolds, but he doesn't make sense for all the reasons already listed in the article. If they spend any money it should be on some form of starting pitching in my opinion.

I sure don't wish evil on anyone. 

I already clarified this in another post. I don't wish evil (or injury) on anyone, but I'd be perfectly fine with a 3-4 month "vacation" for Trumbo.

We don't need Reynolds unless Trumbo or Davis might be out long term. Alvarez+ will be fine and frankly, he deserves the shot. If either are out longer, then definitely makes sense. Just don't put him anywhere close to 3rd base or I will never be an O's fan again:)
