I would sign him before Russell. He was a kid when this allegedly happened. The lynch mob mentality that doesn't allow someone a future, despite him having processed through the criminal justice system, is over the top, IMO. 

I don't know if you've read the whole back story but essentially, he's always denied doing anything improper and only pled because he was advised to do so, was told he wouldn't be punished and that the record would be sealed. And all of that was true and accurate until it wasn't. 

A few years later, it all became public and the kids life is ruined. 

I have no idea if he's guilty or not and I'm not saying he did or didn't deserve punishment. But it sucks for him that his representatives told him one thing, he relied on it, and then the opposite happened.

 I have strong opinions about accusations, past and present, and even established guilt, past and present. In the world of the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones has made it very clear that if you are a good receiver or quarterback or tackle, he doesn’t care if you murdered your mother. He will give you a contract. I detest that kind of hypocrisy, where we take the highroad when a player is Bad, and we Are full of forgiveness when the player is good.

 However, I strongly believe there is a time for both forgiveness and consequences, sometimes both together. But that wasn’t really the point of my post. I think we should sign good players, and I think we should be willing to forgive people who made a mistake, even a serious mistake. 

But the post was about non-tendered players who could help us. Any suggestions?

OK, focusing on the topic… It seems to me that the baseline is threefold. What a non-tendered player offers, what we can get in the rule five draft, and our own available players.

There is a potential cost difference, of course, our own guys, and the rule five guys will all be league minimum, and a non-tendered player will be perhaps a little bit more, but not significantly more.

There’s at least one 2+ WAR 2B let go by Philly, some catching possibilities, and maybe a reliever or two.

 I don’t think we want an outfielder, we have plenty of those already, and I don’t think the available third basemen offer anything of interest either. So how do you guys feel about the available catchers or relievers?

I'd hope they'd take a look at Jimmy Nelson, Taijuan Walker, and Aaron Sanchez. They'll probably end up outside their price range, though.

Jose Peraza is intriguing. He was pretty bad last year, but he's only a year removed from solid year.

There were actually a lot of solid players let go yesterday, but I have the feeling that most of them will get offers outside of what the Orioles are willing to do.

There’s a reasonable chance we grab a middle infielder or two off this list.    There already were about 30 free agents who were middle infielders, so prices should be cheap.     (That’s probably why Villar’s trade market was so soft.)

What do you know about Maikal Franco? I think he’s the only meaningful third baseman who got dumped, he wasn’t hitting very well and I don’t know anything about his defense. I don’t think he’s better than our own Ruiz, but he might be.

Sanchez would be a 2 year deal since he's headed to surgery and won't pitch in 2020 so I don't think he's a target.

Walker should draw a lot of interest from numerous teams. Maybe he likes the open door to starts he'd have here. 

I think Peraza is a bounce back candidate.

He's always struggled at getting on base. Not great with the glove. I'm not a big Franco fan.

Addison Russell is exactly the type of player we should be picking up.  Only 25 years old, high upside.  Of course his past complicates things but someone is going to sign him either way, so why not us?

Only if Addison is going to make a sincere effort to improve his personal behavior. His upside is high, but so is his penchant for getting into trouble.

      Cedric en fuego!!

      By Hallas · Posted

      In terms of energy?   e = 1/2 mv^2 football: 60 mph -> 26.8 m/s, 14.5 oz = .411 kg.  That's 147.5 joules. baseball: 102 mph -> 45.59 m/s, 5 oz = .142 kg.  That's 147.5 joules.   I don't think they're 100% equivalent - I think the higher raw speed on the arm of a 102 mph pitch introduces more stress on the arm than a 60 mph football throw.  But they're not that far off.

      There is no chance that over 60 mph for a QB is the equivalent of 102.  QBs do not train for velocity like pitchers do.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By 25 Nuggets · Posted

      I would prefer they ask for Jon Gray in spite of the Orioles destroying him in his last start - he wouldn't have to face the Orioles lineup again.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      He makes $43 million this year. The Mets are paying $21 million of that. I don’t think we pick up the remaining $10+ post deadline for 10-12 starts. It would just depend on what Texas would ask for to pick up the tab.

      Luis Robert

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Haynie on 105.7, has been beating the Luis Robert drum for months on the O’s pre game show. So I think that’s why people like the idea of Robert. Robert also is always hurt.  We need a bat. Probably a RH bat to DH in the playoffs versus a LH SP. That bat is Mayo. It’s just hard to get Mayo up before September when we get the extra roster spot.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      Holliday went 1 for 2 with 3 walks on Friday night. 2024: .444 OBP, .911 OPS MiLB Career: .447 OBP, .931 OPS His OBP is EXACTLY what this O's team needs, would fill a key offensive weakness at 2nd base, help grind opposing pitching, and magnify the power up and down the lineup.  It's all dependent on his ability to throw and play 2B at a passable level. If Holliday starts to hit at the ML level, the question of who bats leadoff is over for the foreseeable future and we can go back to complaining about 1 slumping hitter or backup catcher at the bottom of the lineup.

      This. We literally have no lineup holes right now, and Mayo, Norby, Jax lurk. Any trade discussion should center around the four most essential and crucial elements to O's success for the balance of the regular season and playoffs: 1. pitching 2. pitching 3. pitching 4. damn, forgot the 4th one. oh yeah, its pitching.
