Sorry I missed this thread, I was printing my playoff tickets:)

Since he arrived in Baltimore, his swing has shortened some and he has impressed with his bat speed. I liked the bat immediately the first night when he hit a 2B down the left field line at 111 mph. W

In his 138 games, and 598 PA with us, Nunez has put up a 1.9 WAR.

Thinking about it, this could just be a replacement for Vielma.

Speaking of which, he will probably be 60 day DL'ed after surgery Wednesday.

He does not play any shortstop. It might be a replacement for Danny at some point.

Worth the risk to me because he could really become a hitter.  Another kid without a position though.  I sure hope we see Rasmus, Gentry, and some other guys move on.  

It isn't that hard to find guys that can hit but not field.

I don't see how he's worth a spot on the 40 when we already have a backlog of this style of player.

He is out of options.

He will be DFA'd in a effort to get him to AAA.  He will be outrighted if he clears.

He is probably the Tides DH.

Buck said in the after game presser that he will not impact the major league roster.

Buck did let that slip out he said. So looks like we will be immediately DFA’ing him.

No. He will probably be DFA'ed like they did to Sardinas last season to slip him thru. He is probably just Triple A depth to replace Vielma and Sardinas, since they are both out injured.

I doubt we see him play in Baltimore this season.

Those are Roch's words. So probably so. Wildcard also thinks this way or heard or read something similar.

Buck said in the post game that this isn't going to effect the 25.

He isn't even as good a hitter or fielder as current Tide third baseman Drew Dosch.

Only thing they *might* do is send Nunez outright if he clears waivers, have him be at 3rd, and promote Dosch to be a left handed hitting platoon at 3rd.

Gentry’s OK so long as his role is limited.   He’s been worth 0.3 rWAR even though he hasn’t been hitting.   Last year he had almost exactly the same OPS as now at this point in the season, but eventually put up decent numbers.

      Trying to figure out which part of this is the most absurd is really difficult.

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

      By jem709 · Posted

      If I am reading correct (and I may not  be) Gil is eligible for ROY but not the PPI pick as he was not on 2 of three top 100 list.  Can someone tell me if that is correct please. it would be nice to get another pick.

      more evidence that fWAR is the better metric, right? cowser isn't below replacement level defensively - so that # should be positive, right?

      The O's made the playoffs.   The players  Elias acquired at the deadline helped make that happen.  Without those players and with all the injuries the O's probably do not make the playoffs.   Eflin has been a key starter.  Dominguez has saved 10 for 11.   Soto has an ERA under 2.00 in September.    Slater is a better version of McKenna  and has helped in the outfield. The O's still have 2 or more years to fix Rogers.   I agree Jimenez did not help but he didn't cost much either.

      Looks like the Detroit Tigers

      I think the hottest ever saw an O's team enter the playoffs was 1974. 28 of 34, 16 of their last 18, including 9 in row to close it out. Won game one of the playoffs, lost the next 3 including 30 straight innings scoreless. what happened yesterday does not gaurentee today

      As I have said before,  someone on the O's thinks they can fix Rogers or they would not have traded for him.   He has lost a couple of miles on this fastball and that could be mechanics. Rogers has 2 options left so they can fix his in ST and the minors.  His service clock is stopped while he is in the minors.  He has two more years of major league service time left. It's a little premature to count Rogers as a bust.   Acquiring his is adding a lefthanded starter to the O's pitching depth.  He will turns 27 in November which is not old.  Heck, Suarez is 34 and added a lot to O's pitching staff this season.

      You mean a AAAA starter.  Sometimes I think he thinks he’s smarter than everybody else, so he does things that no one else would do just to prove a point. I don’t actually think he wants to spend money on free agents. I think he likes the idea of trying to be the smartest man in the room. I think his attitude is going to change somewhat next off-season, After his many blunders at the trade deadline.
