Next ST we'll have in camp: OF-Mullins Diaz, Stewart, Hays, Yaz, Mancini, Hoes, IF-Davis, Villar, Wilkerson, Beckham, Valera, Mountcastle, Dosch,  Nunez, Bannon C- Caleb, Wynns, Sisco, Susac, Cumberland, Perez, DH- Trumbo, Alvarez,  I'm sure there will be others, but these are the prime suspects. Assuming no trades, what's your starting 9 and bench, OD? Here's mine:

1B Davis

2B Villar

SS Beckham

3B Wilkerson, 

LF Mancini

CF Mullins

RF Diaz

C Caleb

DH Trumbo

Bench

BuC Wynns

UTIF Valera

4th OF Hays

DH/3B Mountcastle

Why bring Mountcastle and Hays up to keep them on the bench? And why Caleb Joseph... it’s time to give Sisco a real chance (no pun intended).

 

I don’t see Diaz breaking camp with the O’s but I could see him getting called up mid season. I also imagine Nunez is getting his chance now to try to win over 3B for next year.

I agree with others that you might be bringing some of these young guys up too soon.

If Duquette is not back, I think we see Adam Jones back with the Orioles.  If Duke is extended, goodbye to Jonesie.

I see no reason to give Sisco the job before he proves he's up to it. Right now he looks over matched at the plate and barely acceptable behind it.  I think RF will be between Diaz and Stewart, who ever has the best camp, I think Mountcastle will get enough AB between 3B/DH/PH. If not Hays then Yaz.

I agree about Jones.

There not a need for a backup on a bad team but he is one of the few guys ready that can back up center field and is cheap.  You either let him be the 4th outfielder or go and sign a guy for more money and i dnt think they do that.  Now if the backup lh bat can play center you can go a different route.   You still don't want Mancini in a game late in the field and you need a backup center fielder.  Rickard can do both.

I think Joseph gets moved here in August.  He is a decent back up catcher that has played better lately and will cost 2 million next year that we can save.  I could see Red Sox claiming him as their catcher spot has been terrible this season.  If someone claims him then make a move to trade him for a low level prospect and save money for next year.

Hays, Diaz, and Yaz can back up CF. No need to spend the money.

That's possible. But I'd play Wynns or Susac over Sisco. Once upon a time he was a hot prospect but the bloom is off the rose IMO.

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

      I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.

      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.

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      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.
