Iglesias. Cobb. Alberto.

You don’t think it’s too soon on Iglesias? It’s only been 12 games. Everybody knew about his defense and yet nobody signed him. He’s going to have to hit for a lot longer than two weeks for his value to be more than it was before the Orioles picked him up.

Nunez, Givens

I have not given it much thought, but I think the next guy to go would probably one of our Relievers. Armstrong might be a better pitcher at the moment, but Givens has more of a track record, So I would probably agree on Givens.

Not with the glove he’s not. 

Nunez has looked better at 1B this season.

Tommy Milone if he keeps pitching well.   If Elias is willing to trade a 33 year old Bleier, he would probably trade Milone if anyone wants him.  Especially if Elias believers Akin or Kremer is ready for a try i n the majors.

I think value exists in getting outfield reps in a major league stadium if you are going to be a ML outfielder.

 

You don't even need a game to do that.

True, you do however need to be at a major league stadium.

Bowie's not far from Baltimore.  If it's that important, he can drive there before or after games.

I doubt the O's would pay him mileage.

Fungos can’t replicate what a ball does when hit by a major league player.

Then start a GoFundMe page for his mileage.

So pump in the noise.  He'll get a helluvalot more opportunities to field in practice than in a real game.

He can practice and play in the majors.  The one doesn't preclude the other.

What are you even arguing about?

I don’t mean noise, I was referring to the ball.  A grown athlete hitting a fly ball does different things than when someone hits you a fungo.

I don't know, some uniformed poster seems to think that just because you are on a major league team you can't do one on one drills to improve your fielding.

I don't understand what they are talking about.
