First, a hundred apologies to Weams because this is probably the wrong place for it, but we do note this grand message board in our post. Roy Firestone is one of the options!

Anyway, over at the Depot we thought it would be fun to mimic the current meh Presidential election to who could take over for Duquette.

We have two polls up to determine who is most like Trump's rough and tumble outsider campaign (Kobatko, Schmuck, Olney, Firestone) or Clinton's uneven establishment campaign (Murray, Dempsey, Ripken Jr, Palmer).

I assume this gets moved. Many apologies again.

Just like the election this Depot article is a joke. I don't think the O's will let Duquette leave. After the 2007 season I think Dan and Buck will be signed to extensions with big raises. JMO.

Yes, we are being silly. That is kind of the point. To have a little light hearted fun.

I'm apolitical. Whoever is President, I will support as an American. Especially if it is Roy or Eddie.

Eddie! Eddie! Eddie! I would like to see Eddie as GM as much as he disliked talking to the press it would be interesting to see how he would handle that part of the job. Maybe him and Firestone could be dual GM's.

Let's make sure this doesn't get into politics in your comments.

Definitely, no one should be trying to argue a certain politician over another.

Just whether Dempsey is actually qualified or leaning on the accomplishments of others; or if Schmuck is cutting through the BS or that has no overarching philosophy and is just trying to get out in front of what he thinks the people want.

I can't wait for this election to be over. It is super annoying that the same people talk about political candidates every day on Facebook no matter whom they are supporting.

It is almost as bad is the daily updates about Josh Hader, Erod, and Zach Davies on here.

    • I really hope the Ravens win this one. I hate all Washington teams and always root for them to lose but especially if they are playing Baltimore teams 
    • I really don’t see the point of trading Mullins, or even Mountcastle for a reliever. We need Mullins definitely, especially with Santander being a FA.  What good is a reliever if you can’t get a lead?  I just don’t like trading everyday players for relievers, especially when we have a good looking pen next year pre deadline, and what reliever would Mounty/Mullins even buy. Would that reliever even be an upgrade over what we already have? At this point, I’m thinking Mounty goes for some sort of RHH COF. 
    • We couldn’t have asked for more from the Eflin deal than what we got. 9 starts that kept the rotation afloat to even make the playoffs. Then a “good” playoff start in an elimination game where we had the luxury of going to the pen fast.  It’s always tough giving up prospects, but Eflin did exactly what we needed him to do post deadline.   
    • There should be one philosophy, and that's what the O's claimed to have. There's just a lot more work to coaching 13 hitters (plus callups) than one person can do. Going through video, coordinating with the data folks, developing a plan, all that stuff. Only so many hours in the day.
    • 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. 
    • 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.
