The non-tender thread

[wildbillhiccup]

At the risk of lighting a match at the gas station, this team would be heavily favored against the 2020 Orioles in a best of 5 series. 

 

- RP Blake Treinen - 2B César Hernández - SP Taijuan Walker - IF Addison Russell - SP Kevin Gausman - CF Kevin Pillar - OF Domingo Santana - 3B Maikel Franco - OF Steven Souza Jr. - DH C.J. Cron - SP Aaron Sanchez - IF José Peraza - IF Tim Beckham

With only the four pitchers I think the O's can wear them down and win games 3-5.

No catcher either. Davis might reach 1st every at bat on the dropped 3rd strike...

Wow to all those names. Would love to see Caleb back here. Rather have him behind the plate than any of the guys we have, even though he doesn’t hit as well as one might wish.

Would give Taijuan Walker a shot. Ideal situation for him, low pressure to prove health and the O's can trade him if he is any good.

Agree. Another Dan Straily but with more upside

Shame. He is a joy to watch on defense. One of my very favorite enemies.

Peraza would be interesting. The projection systems like him for a pretty good year. He’s only 25. 3 years of team control left, but via the arb process. Power would play up at OPACY. 

Russell would be interesting as well. OPACY would offer a good bounce back type season.

My 28-game-plan seats are in the front row of the upper deck behind home plate and I have a really booming voice.

If the Orioles signed Addison Russell you would hear me booing him every pitch of every at-bat. You would know whether I was at that game every time he came up.

Ok Luke/Tony/Frobby etc

assemble for us please, a reasonable team of non-tendered guys who we should target as being cheap and better than what we have?

Seems as if Lots of worthwhile 1WAR+ Guys were let go.

He wasn’t worth anything but I’d love to have CaJo back for his D.

Another reason I am glad I am not a Marlins fan.  And because their ballpark makes me nauseous.

Eff him. Hope no team signs him.

[luismatos4prez]

Peraza, Shaw, Franco, and Hernandez would all be good targets for the infield if no one else offers starting jobs.

But maybe they're too expensive for Elias's Tampa-like budget. I'm an offseason junkie, but I can't draw up any excitement after they traded a 4 WAR player for an organizational guy to save money. Trading Bundy, claiming a few Alberto-like lottery tickets, and signing a Dan Straily or two are the only moves I expect.

You're really dreaming big.

Yeah - Jesus hasn't been the same since Manny spiked him in the playoffs.
