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,

Yep.  Oh well... 

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.

      Cedric en fuego!!

      By Hallas · Posted

      In terms of energy?   e = 1/2 mv^2 football: 60 mph -> 26.8 m/s, 14.5 oz = .411 kg.  1/2 * (26.8^2) * .411 = 147.5 joules. baseball: 102 mph -> 45.59 m/s, 5 oz = .142 kg.  1/2 * (45.59^2) * .142 = 147.5 joules.   I don't think they're 100% equivalent - I think the higher raw speed on the arm of a 102 mph pitch introduces more stress on the arm than a 60 mph football throw.  But they're not that far off.

      There is no chance that over 60 mph for a QB is the equivalent of 102.  QBs do not train for velocity like pitchers do.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By 25 Nuggets · Posted

      I would prefer they ask for Jon Gray in spite of the Orioles destroying him in his last start - he wouldn't have to face the Orioles lineup again.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      He makes $43 million this year. The Mets are paying $21 million of that. I don’t think we pick up the remaining $10+ post deadline for 10-12 starts. It would just depend on what Texas would ask for to pick up the tab.

      Luis Robert

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Haynie on 105.7, has been beating the Luis Robert drum for months on the O’s pre game show. So I think that’s why people like the idea of Robert. Robert also is always hurt.  We need a bat. Probably a RH bat to DH in the playoffs versus a LH SP. That bat is Mayo. It’s just hard to get Mayo up before September when we get the extra roster spot.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      Holliday went 1 for 2 with 3 walks on Friday night. 2024: .444 OBP, .911 OPS MiLB Career: .447 OBP, .931 OPS His OBP is EXACTLY what this O's team needs, would fill a key offensive weakness at 2nd base, help grind opposing pitching, and magnify the power up and down the lineup.  It's all dependent on his ability to throw and play 2B at a passable level. If Holliday starts to hit at the ML level, the question of who bats leadoff is over for the foreseeable future and we can go back to complaining about 1 slumping hitter or backup catcher at the bottom of the lineup.

      This. We literally have no lineup holes right now, and Mayo, Norby, Jax lurk. Any trade discussion should center around the four most essential and crucial elements to O's success for the balance of the regular season and playoffs: 1. pitching 2. pitching 3. pitching 4. damn, forgot the 4th one. oh yeah, its pitching.
