Starting to think they aren't going to be able to move Cobb at the trade deadline.

Broxton's .710 Career OPS would be 6th on this team.

His Career .306 OBP is better than the player he replaced (Rickard .299)

His defense is better than any one currently patrolling the Outfield.

Looking at his career arc I'm not sure using his career numbers is the best way to predict future production.

I wasn't suggesting that he was viewed as a long term option.

But Rickard was supposed to be a guest bartender at the only Guisness brewery in the US.What happens now? Broxton as bartender? Wilkerson who does everything? Dwight Smith Jr. who you probably dont want him stirring any drinks.Might fly up in the air and hurt someone.Davis would just stare at the drinks as they go by.Maybe Hess or Strally? They are good at getting things hit out  of the park.

Was not predicting.  He has only started 10 games this year the remaining was to pinch run, pinch hit or defense replacement.(39 games total)

I don't doubt that Broxton can cover some ground out there. Let's see whether he can make a throw from CF to the plate that is more or less on a line and reaches the catcher on fewer than four hops.

Hyde. He probably is a beer aficionado after the way this season has gone.

He did hit 20 homers one year.  Maybe they feel that there's something they can do with his swing.

Anything can happen.  Chances are he continues the way of his career, but someone down in the thread alluded to Dwight Smith, and there's other comps for finding a career late.  Adding guys with plus power to OPACY never hurts.

Let's be honest. Broxton is an Oriole because he was cheap. He is obviously not a part of the youth movement. I wish the guy all the best but, the move is worrisome.

We didn't have a natural CF and his production offensively is at least on par with Rickard.  Not sure why it's worrisome, especially on a last place team.

      Re-visiting Luzardo

      I don’t see Eovaldi being dealt, doubt we deal in division and don’t want Anderson or Lorenzen for free. Scherzer yes but he also has to be ok to waive his NTC.

      Pitching This Week

      By Spy Fox · Posted

      They didn't do any of our imagined rotation reshuffling for the previous Yankees series. I'm guessing they won't this time either. I think Burnes will start Wednesday, get his ASG inning, and then they'll use the break as a chance to skip/delay Suarez and Povich. Burnes/Rodriguez/Kremer in some order start in Texas weekend after the break.

      Pitching This Week

      If they didn't set-up Burnes to pitch vs NY when they were trailing them a couple of weeks ago, I don't think they're going to do it with, probably, a lead this weekend. By the way, Burnes could be in line for an all-star game start. I know this is an exhibition game but still quite a honor that he would probably like to be available for.

      Cowser worries me late in games. He's got the absolute worst clutch stats in MLB and he's one of the absolute worst players in WPA. He's the last guy I want at the plate if we need something to happen in a big spot.

      As a backup plan and for the next two years, ok.  As his big deal for a starter for the stretch run and playoffs.  No.

      Outfield PA the rest of the way

      By Frobby · Posted

      So far this year, the Orioles’ OF PA (1,078) have been allocated as follows: Santander (302) 28.0% Mullins (272) 25.2% Cowser (268) 24.9% Hays (136) 12.6% O’Hearn (45) 4.2% Kjerstad (29) 2.7%  Stowers (26) 2.4% Note that Santander (55 PA) and Kjerstad (17 PA) have also seen time at DH, while O’Hearn gets most of his time (225 PA) at 1B/DH. My question is, what do you think the mix will look like over the final 72 games?   Personally, I’d like to see something like: Santander 27% Mullins 25% Cowser 16% Hays 16% Kjerstad 16% With Santander and Kjerstad continuing to get some PA at DH, as they have been.   Kjerstad since his recall has started 8 of 12 games, 4 in the OF and 4 as DH, and pinch hit in two other games.    I think it’s time to play Cowser less, unless his bat picks up.  16% basically means he’s still playing half the time, split evenly between CF and a corner spot.
