Is there a single guy on this sorry list that is a plus defensive OF'er ???

Hays is supposed to be a plus defender in RF.

Orioles "outfield wars" look like this:

I was going to make a pithy reference to the Anglo-Zanzibar War of 1896, but thought better of it.

Mancini should play 1B. If Davis has to play because of the money fiasco, he can play RF like he did earlier this season. Oh wait...Lol.

Please no. Stick him as the DH.

Hays last night.

If only all wars could last 45 minutes with the highlight being the bombardment of a harem.  My kind of war!  (Of course, I had to google it.

I think the throw was more impressive than the catch.

I agree. 

I love his athletic style of play. Hope he stays healthy and hits. The sport needs more players like him

Very similar to the OP.

Is Mullins' roster spot on the 40 man roster guaranteed for 2020? I don't know how many players have to be added, but I could see Elias deciding that Mullins isn't worth protecting on the 40 man roster. 

I don't know what Mullins can do offensively after his disappointing showings the last two years, but I'm not sure it would matter to me. I was more than surprised last year to see how bad Mullins' throwing was. I don't see how you can plan to build a defensively solid team with an ar,like Mullins' in CF. As a stop-gap next season, I don't see him as an upgrade over Santander or Wilkerson. I think I'd rather give Hays a try in CF than give major league ABs to Mullins.

I don't know about Mason Williams defensively, but if there's any chance he'd be an average or  better-than-average major league CFer, I'd like to see him get a shot. Seeing him in September would be nice, but I wouldn't take risks to get him on the 40-man roster just to do that.

Why DH?  Davis is decent with the glove but can't hit.  I would think the O's cut him before using him as a DH.

Sadly, I think Mullins is gone. Bad offense is ok is you offer excellent defense( or vice versa)but Mullins offers neither.

we don’t have many guys who can do both, but we’ve no room for someone who does neither.

Mullins’ glove was quite good this year.    The arm, not so much.

I think he covered more ground on the catch where he made the throw than on the catch where he dove. Not sure why the dive was necessary.
