I think Mejia was on my Rule 5 pref list (towards the back) in 2017. Haven’t really thought about him much since. I will probably dig into the non tendered list tomorrow and have some notes on guys I like.

The three I listed above were young , successful in the minors, and look like the best of the bunch. I avoided relievers and nonfielding OF

I wouldn’t rule out relievers if there is upside to be had. The Evan Phillips of the world might turn into solid middle relief but he has options and I’d chase bounceback or subtle tweak upside in the relief market if cheap.

I don't disagree..... But I'd avoid the guys who won't be here when we are good rule.

There are a few you could add and I'd even try out the Braves pitcher that's been mentioned more than a few times.

After reading through all this, I think the O's should

1) Sign Addison Russell and Luke Heimlich

2) Seek out a cheap sensible contract with Taijuan Walker, Jimmy Nelson, Kevin Gausman, or Tyler Anderson (Approach in that order) to fill a rotation spot or two.

3) Bring in Maikel Franco and have him and Ruiz battle it out for 3rd base in Spring Training.

4) Comb through the relievers on this list; some look really interesting.

Would you want the PR nightmare that Russell and Heimlich bring if there are talents arguably equal or better?

I like the idea of bringing in Gennett. He had a bad groin injury that pretty much made last year a lost year. In 2018, he was a 4.2 WAR player. 

A couple of things, he’d pretty much be a direct Villar replacement. We can offer him all the leadoff ABs out there. A 1/3-4 deal should get him signed. Maybe less. Alberto can still get a ton of ABs playing vs LHP, and at 3B. Gennett should excel in our ballpark, and we can offer the best bounce back opportunity for him. 

1. Gennett 2B L

2. Hays CF R

3. Mancini 1B R

4. Santander S RF

5. Nunez R DH

6. Ruiz L 3B

7. Smith Jr. L LF

8. Sisco L C

9. Russell R SS

Davis, Wilkerson, Alberto, Severino, Rule 5

What do you think about 2B Marco Hernandez (Red Sox) , .283/.321/.397 (.718 OPS).

He's now off the board, having re-signed with the Red Sox after your post.

CoC, I hope you are trying to be humorous and I did leave you that opening, but I never want to see CD in an Oriole uniform again.

I didn't want Davis in the outfield five years ago.

What PR nightmare?  No one cares about the O's except us.  And, if it works out, it could be a PR blessing if both right the ship and are solid teammates and community members
