Where will Meadows play? His Defense is worse than his offense. He's actually sub replacement level this season. I bet when Tony Bautista hit all those HR's and RBI's in Baltimore that year, you thought he had a good season.

He's kinda like Trey was.

Man, Orioles just sent an email with the welcome message for these players.

I hope when Ortiz arrives they give him a pair of running shoes and tell him he's jogging to the park.

He's listed at 6'3" 230. I bet there are a lot of posters on here pushing 230 who aren't even 6 foot tall. I doubt he's morbidly obese like people are implying.

And certainly not fat, which is a word all too easily and ignorantly used quite often.

Friends of mine on FB are showing their ignorance in spades.  I echo your sentiment! 

I tried to engage on a couple of threads, but it's the same old same old. Some are so attached to their stars of old, even though the O's are on pace to having the worst record since early in the last century with those same players (and then get nothing for them when they walk). Again, thankful for this place. We don't all agree, but there seems to be some thoughtful backup to a lot of what we post here.

I know better than to even try.  It would fall on phenomenally deaf ears.

    • Seems that Tampa might be selling. Civale is heading to the Brewers.
    • He was brought in for the bottom of the order too, although it was high leverage. Nicely played by Hyde, imho. 
    • Congrats to Kimbrel on tying KRod for 4th place on the all time saves list.   He’s clearly no longer an elite closer,  but that’s still an amazing accomplishment.   He’s 41 saves behind Lee Smith for 3rd place and it’s certainly possible that Kimbrel will hold on long enough to catch Smith.   2010-18: 91% save rate 2019-24: 82% save rate
    • Baseball America.  30 prospects to know in the DSL. Elvin Garcia, SS, Orioles Signed for $500,000 out of the Dominican Republic, the 17-year-old Garcia has shown a promising mix of tools and skills with more physical upside remaining in his 6-foot-2, 165-pound frame. He’s a switch-hitter with good plate discipline and a knack for finding the sweet spot to make contact at a high clip. He’s hitting .370/.507/.611 through 71 plate appearances, drawing more walks (14) than strikeouts (13). Garcia hasn’t homered yet and isn’t a big slugger, but he makes consistent quality contact with a lot of doubles and triples that should start climbing over the fence in the next few years as he layers on more strength. He’s an athletic shortstop with plus speed, a plus arm and smooth actions at the position, along with a high baseball IQ. He’s one of most exciting shortstops the Orioles have signed out of Latin America in years.    Esteban Mejia, RHP, Orioles The Orioles signed Mejia out of the Dominican Republic for $175,000 in January. The 17-year-old righthander had been up to 93 mph at the time and reached 95 in early spring outings. Now his fastball seldom dips under 93 after making another jump that has him reaching 98 mph and sitting at 93-96. At a listed 6-foot-3, 175 pounds, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him crack 100 mph eventually, but he’s already overpowering hitters in the DSL, where he has a 3.38 ERA in 10.2 innings over four starts, striking out 15 with five walks. Mejia’s fastball was his main pitch as an amateur, but he has quickly developed a slider that he shows aptitude to spin to get a good amount of swing-and-miss.       
    • Yeah , for now.  We have to keep our pace while they’re struggling . We have upcoming 3 games series against them 7/12-7/14 before AS Break 
    • Yes, Urias might be closer to DFA’ing than real trade value. Mateo is useful and has some value but we are using that value.  Westburg shouldn’t go anywhere.  Until a larger trade is made clearing the logjam or an injury, my preference would be Mayo up, Kjerstad down as I think Mayo takes at bats away from worse players.
