Just put Valencia on the DL with illness.   You can make it retroactive for Saturday and we have two days off in the next 9 days.  Peterson can play 3rd and Alverez can back him up if they must in an emergency.   

And why do that?  Just do what needs to be done.

Flaherty was a good utility player, for sure.  Forgot he was a Rule 5.  

Yeah good utility player worth 1.6 WAR during his career.  Thing is if you wanted him he was 25 and not protected in Rule 5 draft.  I am guessing he wasn't in their plans. If you want a Flaherty guy trade for him and save all the Rule 5 drama.  He isn't going to cost you much.

Its not fair to take pot shots at a bench player for low WAR

You can so clearly see how well, his replacements have done this year.

With Britton returning, someone needs to come off the 40 and 25 roster.

They can get rid of Araujo to clear a spot. They can 60 day DL Tillman or Vielma to clear a 40 spot then 10 day DL a pitcher or send down someone with an option (Castro?)

DD excels at being the master of the 25 & 40 man roster, with a minimal of pain on the parent club.

Just because other folks have done worse doesn't mean he did well.

And just because some folks dont like him, need to take pot shots at him, with every opportunity.

He did well in the role, hell, if he was a better player, he wouldnt have been on the bench.

But, he did very well for himself on at least 2 occasions when he got daily playing time.

Why do you think "like" has to do with anything?

I don't like or dislike him.  He's a replacement level player.

I am not taking pot shots at him. I like Flaherty I wanted him signed this year. I am just saying the best Rule 5 pick we have has given us 1.6 WAR.  Not really worth the effort to destroy the roster

My apologies.

I think Flaherty had a very important role here, but thats just IMO.

But, if you really want to know.

The best rule 5 guy we had was Gibbons, and he posted a 1.7, 1.5 and 2.2 in 3 of those years here, playing full time. Again, probably just IMO

They changed the rules in October of 2006 giving the clubs one more year before players were eligible to be drafted in Rule 5.   So I wouldn't consider Jay Gibbons comparable to post 2006 Rule 5 guys.

The O's have 16 days before they can DL Araujo and keep him.  Since the O's are not contending I don't see how they give up on him.    A pitcher with options is the more likely choice to send down for 10 days.

Yeah, for 16 days it doesn't make much sense. If they do make a move, they will put him on the DL, eventually send him on minor league rehab, then bring him back in September or before if the need arises.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By Warehouse · Posted

      He was allowed to face LHP.  My post wasn’t disagreeing with your post.  I was saying that not only did we let him face LHP, we let him do so despite not having much success against LHP.  I was pushing back against the narrative that we needlessly platooned Cowser.  Not only did we not platoon him, there is a reasonable argument that we should have platooned more than we did. We needed to play one of Mullins and Cowser in CF. Cowser mostly got the call vs. LHP because he was much better against LHP in the first half of the year, but this flipped in the second half.

      rWAR Year of birth leaders after 2024 - notable Orioles

      By Just Regular · Posted

      From Adley to Basallo, I think Elias has eight Bats I hope we get to see all take 600 PA simultaneously some season. Adley was born in 1998, and until he arrived Elias Orioles baseball was bad by design.    For flavor, leaders of those teams like 1994-1997 births Mullins, Santander, Hays and Mountcastle are all between 10th and 20th among bats born their year.   Your team might be drafting Jackson Holliday if they are your club's best players in a rebuild, unless you have great pitching, which...haha, we know Elias' game. MLB Baseball is mostly played by guys 24-32.    286 batters cleared 300 PA in 2024 - about 12% were 33 and up by Fangraphs seasonal age assignments, about 8% were 23 and down. This is just a once a year post, but looking at Bats born from Adley's 1998 to Basallo's 2004, here's how the Orioles achievements compare with MLB's best by rWAR. 1998 - Adley is 4th 1999 - Westburg is 9th, and Kjerstad is 33rd 2000 - Cowser is 16th 2001 - Gunnar is 1st, and Mayo is nearly last, having dug a deep hole in his initial PA.    Trivia - Darell Hernaiz one of the 3 beneath Mayo.    Noelvi Marte dead last also has a PED suspension, d'oh. 2003 - Holliday is 4th - Minnesota the last weekend he got himself out of negative WAR territory. 2004 - Basallo is n/a as Chourio alone has played MLB from that birth year.    Basallo did log the most high minors experience of the 2004 births during the 2024 season. In 2025, Gunnar enters the 24-32 range as Judge departs it.     Cowser's improvement after an off-season a story of comfort for Holliday and Mayo - can they approach his ~3.5 win contribution? Strong, young teams - doing this exercise highlighted Adley's Orioles a little younger than the Braves and all their famous contract extensions.    Acuna, Albies and Riley were all born the year before Adley.   On the AL side of the competition, Yordan and Kyle Tucker also 1997 holding up a strong competitor, though not one that is young anymore.     Judge and Gerrit hoping Soto please stays.    Soto from 1998 - you have to reach back to 1994 for Correa, Bregman and C. Seager to find anyone ahead of him.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By Camden_yardbird · Posted

      The Orioles have a lot of flexibility both in terms of prospects, money and potential veterans that hold value. Vets - I could see the Orioles moving on from any of Mountcastle, Mullins, Urias, or O'Hearn. These players may hold the most potential to bullpen upgrades. Money - The Orioles will certainly spend this offseason and that more flexibility than they have had.  I would like to see 1 or 2 extensions, 1 high profile FA, and maybe 1 more solid addition. Prospects - I could see any of the big 4 going somewhere.  I really think the Orioles and Pirates match up really well.  The Pirates have a plethora of young pitchers and the Orioles have young hitters.  I wouldn't be surprised to see the two match up.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      By eddie83 · Posted

      The hitting philosophy works. That’s why they have been winning the last two years.     Plenty of runs scoring off HR’s in the playoffs.

      They would probably want two of Mayo, Basallo, Holliday, and Kjerstad, plus other pieces (likely at least one good pitching prospect, so someone like Povich or McDermott), for both Crochet and Robert.
