Well, that underspeaks to what we are.

Yeah, that would be accurate about ten years ago, but by doing this for a dozen years your buddies get into front offices and my writers, too.

I am always a bit astounded why we get under your skin so much, but, yes, we are am amateur site just like the news expressed via Orioles Hangout. We know scouts. We know front office people. We know players. etc. I am not in the business of dealing scoops. I sometimes note things that help with process and I try to be as transparent as possible. Just like the folks behind Orioles Hangout.

If you all have a question about whether something is my own ideas or something more grounded than that I am easy to reach. There is a website. There is a twitter handle. Or you all can just talk to each other here and maybe someone tells me that is happening. Then I can help, but it is possible that you do not want that.  Eh.

I think you misunderstood me.    For the record, I have always enjoyed the stuff Camden Depot puts out, and I'm very sorry to hear the site will discontinue at the end of the year.   You certainly don't get under my skin at all; I've cited good analysis I've read on your site many times.    I just meant that you guys aren't really holding yourselves out as reporters, more as commentators and analysts.    Or at least, that's what I've always perceived you guys to be.    Sorry if I was unclear, and I didn't mean to take a shot at you guys.

I think that's why the Rockies make so much sense. It seems like they would be more inclined to trade for a good, relatively young pitcher under team control for a few years since no pitching free agents want to sign with them. If they trade Rodgers they can resign Lemahieu or sign someone else to play 2b, but I'm not sure they can do the same with pitching. 

The Rockies have IF prospects that we lack. Unless we fall in love with a SP in someone’s system, we should be looking for a SS, 3B, and 2B.

I apologize for my misunderstanding.

That is also how I would describe the site: commentators or analysts. We do not do beat. We do not provide scoops.

If anyone wants any clarity with twitter posts or from what we write on the site, feel free to reach out to us. We try to answer any question.  We certainly do not wish to mischaracterize ourselves or to present things with an inappropriate level of certainty attached.

I also may have mischaracterized your site earlier.  It was not intentional and certainly not intended to be negative.  Appreciate your views here...and there.

Camden Depot is just a third party website run by a couple of guys who have some degree of analytical chops and who like the Orioles.    They’ve announced they’re shutting down at the end of this season, BTW.

Matt, who has been the article guy, just went to the Athletic.

      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.
