Last Bird Standing

[Moose Milligan]

This is probably best asked after the offseason when new players have been acquired but its kinda slow now and we need stuff to talk about.  So here I am.

Of the players on the MAJOR LEAGUE 40 man roster right now, who do you think is a part of the Orioles in 4 seasons from now?

I also want Frobby to bump this thing in 4 years from now as only he can.

I'm going for 0.  Total overhaul.

It's a good question and tricky because you chose 4 years instead of three.  Personally, I think the answer could be zero as well at 4 years, but I am going to go 2.5 and I will vote three to take the over.  lol

We have a big group of players that their careers could go drastically into oblivion or into general usefulness. No super stars from what I see...but guys like Mullins or Nunez or Sisco could be average major league players in a few years.

I thought about making it 3, thats probably a trickier proposition.  But as bad as we are, I felt that our next .500+ team would be in 4 years.

The only player left from 2014 is Chris Davis.  Fast forward to 2016, and only 6 are left: Davis, Mark Trumbo, Trey Mancini, Dylan Bundy, Mychal Givens and Donnie Hart.   Given all that, a huge turnover by 2022 wouldn't surprise me at all.

[MachoMachadoMan]

I'm going 3: Harvey, Hays, Mullins. 

All three will be cheap with upsides of major contributors and floors of solid, inexpensive pieces. Harvey is the wild card here. I think a new regime comes in and switches him to a reliever where he has potential to be an asset. Pretty confident Hays and Mullins will be pieces at minimum. 

Of course... if Harvey turns into a solid BP arm he could be tradebait. I'm sticking with 3. 

[Frobby]

Best bets are Kline, Hays, Stewart, Mullins, Tate and Ortiz.   I’m guessing some attrition from that group so I went with 3-4.

Wow!  Really walking on the wild side - Tate, Stewart, Ortiz and Kline!  Have you been talking with Sig?  I can't wait for the bump but I will be 79 and doubt coherent by that time.

When does CD's contract expire? 

[Aglets]

Cool idea for a thread.  Probably should copy in the current 40 man roster into one of the first few posts for the sake of posterity and all.

IF CD is on the roster in 4 years, it will be because Chris Davis has had a turnaround unprecedented in MLB history and Elias will be running things for a much richer team than the Orioles.

 

But the answer to your question is that CD has 4 more years on his contract.

I think we have him under team control for 4 more seasons.
