Is there a size requirement for 2B? Brian Roberts and Altuve are asking.

I would.  Even if Hays doesn't pan out, 4 million a year isn't much and won't hamstring this franchise from doing other things to spend money.

Yep. I'd look into it for Mountcastle as well.  I would have included McKenna but his ST stats are deplorable!  ?

Should have done it for Manny.  IIRC, I wanted them to do for Manny what the Rays did for Longoria.  Longoria was a little different, IIRC he was up for like 2 or 3 weeks before the Rays gave him a sizable deal.  But still, they locked him up early.

In Longoria’s case, they delayed his debut just long enough that he wouldn’t get a full year of service time, then signed him to a long term deal four days after he debuted.

I'd have done it for Schoop as well.  Of course the actual numbers would be a bit different, a bit lower for Schoop a lot higher for Manny,

I'm very curious to see how Schoop does this year. At one point during the 2017 season the board thought he might be a better player than Manny. Now he has to prove he can be a regular again.

Curious, too.  But even if we'd signed him for a 4 million a year deal, it wouldn't be so bad if he was playing this poorly for us.

Schoop is hitting better than Manny so far in ST. Machado is off to a very slow start.

Fixed that for you.    I think a lot of people regarded Schoop highly, but very few thought he was better than Manny, except for a fleeting period.    I still like Schoop and think the Twins will be happy with what they got.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Explosivo · Posted

      Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.

      Fangraphs updated top prospect list

      By luismatos4prez · Posted

      Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      I suggested that earlier but I think it's probably a bad play with no out. The O's have like 85% probability of scoring. There is a huge downside risk of Mullins popping up the bunt for a double play. He could also whiff on the bunt making at least Holliday an easy out. With one out and only 65% probability of scoring it's a much better play. I think if Santander and Mullins were reversed in the lineup Hyde may have done it but not when you have two shots to get the run in.

      2024 Week 3: Ravens @ Cowboys

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Completely disagree about Orr. He will be fine. His defense has been better in its first few games compared to McDonald’s first few games.     And some of these big passing stats are over exaggerated. There have been mistakes for sure.
