She is 25 years old.  There is no way she should get consideration for the GM position.  I want the Orioles to get someone younger but not someone who graduated college a few years ago.

I live outside of CVille. My family knows her, but not intimately. Reputation is stellar. But she is far too young and inexperienced to be a GM right now.

Yeah she is green.  But we already let Theo Epstein go. If prying her away from the A's involves giving her a job above her station it might be worth a shot. Perhaps it is not as GM. Still, a lot could just be how you define jobs and shuffle titles.

I wouldn’t have an issue with a lower ranking position in the front office if she has talent.  Even Theo was 28 years old when he got the Red Sox GM job.  I want someone with a track record that is ready to be a GM.

She could be pushing 30 by the time the O's hire their president. 

I kid, I kid.

What's the difference? Let her be the GM.

Then if the young can't be hired because they are too young and inexperienced then where does one get the experience? After all she could be a good GM.

25 years old, this isn’t the time for the Orioles to gamble on someone.  If she was a male no one would be hyping her for a GM position.

Look at personnel from the Astros, Indians and Rays.  They know how to scout and develop talent on a budget.

I say give her a chance. If it doesn’t work out she could still be a cheap option at first base.

I was with you until the Giants statement.

From what I have been reading recently, their ownership and organization is pretty screwed up right now.

Fair point - but I will take the Giants organization over ours any day of the week... along with all their championship hardware.

      Why not Chayce McDermott?

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      You cannot bring up McDermott (25 years old) and discuss his one great quality and act like you have no idea why he hasn't been recalled.  One look at his numbers shows you plenty. He has thrown 70.1 IP, making 14 starts. That's 5 IP/start.  3.84 ERA, 1.464 WHIP, 5.5 BB/9, 12.9 K/9.  He has issues walking too many batters.  So, while he strikes out batters at a great rate, he also walks far too many, raising his AAA WHIP to 1.464.  That does not project well to the majors.

      Would the Orioles consider Trevor Bauer ?

      No one’s ever accused me of choking and bludgeoning them unconscious before. At the very best he makes extremely poor decisions about whom to associate with. That’s at the very best.

      Houston series, who's hot and who's not

      When a team loses 4 in a row the GM looks for where to improve. Hays.   .500.  2-4  2B Adley    .462  6-13.  2B Mullins   .417   5-12 2B, 3B Westburg .313  5-16.  3HR Gunnar  .272   3-11  2 HR Santander  .235  4-17 HR O'Hearn      .230   3-13 Mountcastle  .188    3-16 2B Mateo       . 125   1-8    HR McCann    .000   0-3 Cowser.   .000.   0-11 Urias         .000     0-13   Holliday would be the answer but he is on the IL.   Mayo?  More Hays, Less Cowser.   Mullins gets his everyday job back in CF.  Kjerstad would seem to take DH at bats from O'Hearn and Santander.  Santander is hitting .106 as a DH.  Mountcastle may need rest but that will hurt the defense.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Nightengale does not expect Luzardo to be traded because he went on the IL with a back problem.

      Cedric Mullins 2024

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      .271/.758 in June after .136/.344 in May. Great to see him hitting again. I agree about the defense but he really can't afford too many months like May. He is up to 0.7 WAR which is impressive for as bad as he has been with the bat.

      Consent ends when the ability to give consent ends.  For instance if someone is choked unconscious.

      Best Oriole closers

      Mid-80's Don Aase rates a shoutout.    Modern tools I can in a few clicks find for 1985-86 fWAR gives him 7th MLB-wide as RP. It was as the Orioles were halfway from Cal celebrating with Eddie how it is great to be a young and a Baltimore Oriole and 0-21, but as a kid I remember him seeming a notch better than Tippy or Sammy or Stoddard. I learned today he collected the one win the Angels got in the 1979 ALCS.
