Things are pretty boring right now knowing that a majority of our current bad team won't be around for our next good team.

From 2012-2016 we went to the postseason three times, with a 6-8 record in those postseason games. By my count, 48 different players appeared in the playoffs for the Orioles within that window. How quickly can you come up with them?

The majority of these will be easy. The last dozen or so might take some more thought. 

I've added the nine players who spent significant portions of all three playoff seasons as Orioles. Though for various reasons Hardy, Jones, and O'Day are the only three players who actually appeared in all three postseasons. 

C (3) - Wieters... 

If (10) - Davis, Flaherty, Hardy, Machado...

Of (14) - Jones...

Sp (6) - Tillman...

Rp (15) - Britton, O'Day...

Bonus: There are three players on the list I didn't fill in yet who did play in the regular season for all three playoff O's teams, but spent most of at least one of those years with a different organization. Who are they?

I've added the eight players who spent significant portions of all three playoff seasons as Orioles. Though for various reasons Jones and O'Day are the only two players who actually appeared in all three postseasons.

Didn't Hardy play in all three? (saying this off the top of my head without fact checking)

Reimold, Pearce ... Matusz?

Right on Pearce and Matusz. 

Matusz pitched 6 innings for the '16 O's, then one game with the Cubs, then hasn't been in MLB since. 

Reimold is close, but 2014 is actually the only year from 2009-2016 he didn't appear for the O's. Brief stints on the Jays and Diamondbacks that year.

He was with the Orioles' organization that season though, as he played for AA-Bowie before the Blue Jays claimed him in July.

Sp (6) - Tillman... Hammel, Chen, Gonzo, Norris, Saunders

Rp (15) - Britton, O'Day... Arrieta, Gausman, Ayala, Johnson, Strop, Ubaldo, Brach, Givens, Patton, McFarland?

Here's my best effort from memory. The revolving door in the OF is hard for me to remember at the moment.

Off the top of my head:   Reynolds, De Aza, Joseph, Hundley, Cruz, Young, Lough, Ford(?), Ayala, Saunders, Norris, Hammel, Jimenez, Chen, Kim, Rickard, Brach, Duensing.   I’ll think on it some more but that’s a good start.

      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.
