Three Things: An Off-season Wish List

[eddie83]

Add a veteran SS. Iglesias  

Add 2 SP’s. I know they will not be anything special.

In a season where the balls were so juiced Deivi Cruz could have set the hr record, Davis had 10 hrs - I’m not sure a rebuilding team can afford to lose that level of production

Deivi Cruz, right now, at age 46 (if that's his real age) would be a better hitter than Davis.  No doubt in my mind.

You campaigning to keep Davis on the roster for next season is one of the weirder things I've seen on here lately.

The key factor you're missing is veteranosity.  Davis brings that to that table in spades.

If he stays they need to make sure he's the union rep.

They still play spades in the clubhouse?

I figured they switched to video games.

Not campaigning.  Just telling you what I think will happen based on how Elias has been managing.

K, cause for a second there I thought you wanted to keep Davis on the roster.

I don't think for a second that Elias wants him back but I'm not certain ownership will allow him to be cut.

I don't think Elias wants to ask them to cut him .....until he has to.

Hey, look everyone!  Moose is worrying about what I'm doing again.

Getting a bit worried about how much attention he pays to my posts.

Sounds like an emotional response to me.   Do you think Elias believes its a wise move to add 555K to a losing team?  Without better pitching the O's are going to lose in 2020.   If they release Davis they have to spend  another 555k to replace him on a losing team.   That makes no sense to me.

Now when Elias believes the O's will have the pitching to be a contender then the time will have come for Davis to go IMO.  That process probably begins with the pitchers that were at AA this season coming to the majors.  For some of them maybe as soon as the 2nd half of 2020.  But by that time the O's will probably be 15 games out.   So maybe Davis goes after the 2020 season.  That is my best guess.

If they keep Davis, what role(s) do you foresee him fulfilling?

Releasing Davis shouldn't be on anyone's wishlist. That should just be something that happens like Trumbo not being resigned to a new contract. 

So I take it you don't want to give Trumbo a qualifying offer?
