I consider myself to be as patient as any member of this board.   Today was the last straw.    Release  Tillman.  

Now Frobby are you ready to join me in the release Davis bandwagon.

I know there is no way they are going to release a guy making 23M a year.... but when he hits under .150 for 500 PA's and K's in close to 1/2 of them.... I still think he'll be gone in 2019

If he looks a worse than last year, Davis might not last to mid-season if he keeps struggling.

Why pay a guy peanuts if no one else is willing to give him peanut husks?

It is still wasting 3M.

Because the upside was big. You can’t get a pile of average crap to start a major league game for less than $10m.

No.  $115 mm remaining.   He gets the whole year to straighten out.   But I don’t play him every day after May.

Harvey pitched like 18 innings last year and none so far this year. He isnt ready.

Harvey would probably be ready by now if the organization had him go under the knife in 2015. Instead, they wasted 14 months for him to "get better" before he went underwent Tommy John surgery. 14 months completely down the drain for nothing. And now they can't use him when they really need him. What a joke.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.

      I don't see the O's trading Mullins without getting a replacement for him from somewhere.  It's doubtful we have anyone in the minors yet ready to step in for him.  Maybe the same for Urias since he's the perfect backup infielder.  I think Mateo and Mountcastle are more likely to be traded.

      You mean like how the Os dealt guys like Hays, Stowers and Norby?  Yea, guys who are good depth but guys we can stand to trade are guys I want to trade….and obviously Elias feels similarly. These guys carry value. The level of value depends on the player and you can debate the value of return but yes, you absolutely should trade out of depth and trade guys that perhaps that don’t match your team philosophies.  That’s what teams do.

      Who knows.  Lots of possibilities. There could be another trade like the Hays trade.  Or maybe you can get a ML ready arm that profiles as a high end reliever. I don’t think that you will get a proven lock down guy but that doesn’t mean you can’t get someone that will end up a big contributor.
