That is NOT on the Orioles. That is on the other GM and his evaluation. GMs aren't like us on a messageboard. People on here say things like "I don't want him, he's a Yank." GMs have ZERO thoughts like that. They see players and numbers that might help their team. No enemies, just business.

Don’t be naive.  There are always enemies.  And GM’s want to keep their jobs, so they usually tread very carefully.

If Player A And Player B are the same comp through their scouting formula, and one of them comes from Baltimore, and the other comes from Cleveland, I would have the tiebreaker go to Cleveland.

Based on, among many other things, championship pedigree, Corn.

Prediction: Straily will get called up at some point and pitch well for the Phillies.     He’s been pitching very well at Norfolk and in my opinion he’s managed to fix whatever was broken while h

Didn't Dan say that Bautista wouldn't be a good fit for the O's because he didn't think the fanbase would accept him?

So since Schoop won a LLWS title the O's should have asked more of the Brewers?

I think he meant the clubhouse wouldn't accept him but didn't want to say it publicly. Just an opinion.

You are going way off tangent to prove some minor point within a bigger argument.

Schoop will forever be a win for the Orioles at this point, but we no longer have either Schoop, nor championship aspirations.

I'm just trying to show you how ridiculous your championship pedigree requirement is.

No I think they're businessmen. Not teenagers who hold grudges.

You may be holding “businessmen” in too high a regard.

It is a cutthroat business, obviously they are all knocking down our door to deal with the Orioles

Whatever. I want to watch the game. Tired of arguing.

      Does the "insanity" label mean it's something you expected Hyde to do (like using Kimbrel yesterday against the near-bottom of the Phillie lineup with a four-run lead) or not to do?

      Every time I see Nestor Cortes I think,”Damn, we sent him back.” The man responsible for that should have been fired…and was! The worst team in modern history couldn’t make room for a promising Rule 5 guy. Grrrrr

      I would love to see Seattle win. They seem to have such a fun team even when they aren’t scoring, which is usually. But definitely they have some pitching

      That's an incredibly harsh response to a remarkably thoughtful poster who was quoting a rather reputable pod cast that was asserting an extremely controversial subject. You have definitely lived up to your moniker. You could have just disagreed without taking a personal shot.

      In continuance of the discussion in the Bradisch thread re: Cowser as an "elite" OF: I think as the game slows for him he will be an plus defender in LF, hopefully with the Orioles.  However I argued his arm is not yet reliable and while there are little or no stats available that measure accuracy (as opposed to velocity) Savant places him around ~90th among OF's for the most important stat-advance attempts-far behind Hays whose arm is much more respected at #10, Tony and even Mullins "noodle arm" rate much higher.  https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/baserunning?type=Fld&sortColumn=rate_safe&sortDirection=asc  In each of the measurable arm metrics (other than velocity) he is far from "elite".  For advances/attempts to advance above average/succesful advances he is around ~90 in MLB and last among Orioles OF. When you juxtapose Hays's numbers onto CC one thing is evident-Hays has a well earned rep and guys generally don't run on him-guys at this point don't respect CC's arm.

      I suspect it's because Urias has been hitting much better. I think Westburg/Mateo is better defensively, but it's not a big gap. Good chance this will be a close, low-scoring game. I like having Mateo on the bench in a close game so he can create a run, and some havoc, as a pinch-runner (especially when Mullins is in the starting lineup). Though it doesn't show in the boxscore, his feints from first base were a big factor yesterday.
