Put yourself in the role of another team's GM.  Who on the Orioles would you be interested in acquiring for a legitimately good prospect?  And if you're the Orioles, who are you comfortable giving up

Indians could use a player like Santander.  There, that's green but should be dark enough to be read.  Can you tell it's green?

Not a chance.... Davis’ only way off the roster is DFA.

Cobb probably has moderate value by himself.

No one else wanted Cobb at the price the O's signed him at, why would anyone give up something to assume the contract now?  I think the O's need to eat some money to even get rid of the contract.  If that wasn't the case I figured he'd be gone by now.

I doubt we will be trading much. Maybe Givens or another bullpen arm but everyone else is young and controllable enough that it’s probably best to just keep them considering none of them will likely get any prospects back that will be any better than what we’ve got right now. If we trade Severino do we really think there’s a chance that a team is willing to give up a piece that will any better than Severino has been over his career? Same goes for any of the offense really.

Kevin Gausman got 1/$9M, Homer Bailey got 1/$7M, and Julio Teheran got 1/$9M last offseason. Cobb is a bit pricier, but if the O's kick in some money to make Cobb's final year of his contract similar to the going-rate for question-mark pitchers, I think he's trade-able.

Right, if they kick in some money.  So negative value.

I wonder if there is any team that would take on Davis' contract as part of the deal, ie Cobb and Davis for a bp bag of balls.

Between them they're owed about $70M, give or take.  That's roughly 11 or 12 wins.  Cobb is worth a couple wins, Davis minus at least a couple wins.  So you're paying for zero performance but taking on $70M. 

So, sure, you might find a team that would take all that on if the O's kicked in $65M.

Cobb + Davis + $65M for a 24-year-old in the GCL.

There's always a market for catchers, and Severino's playing like a 60 game all-star.  Teams not wanting to commit 200 mil to Realmuto (not to mention giving up a package of top young players) might be willing to give up a good prospect for Severino.  

If you were a fan of the Brewers or Angels or something wouldn't you look at Severino as a kind of 2015 Gerardo Parra?  74 OPS+ previously, 168 OPS+ in 18 games.  My assumption is that going forward he's a 85 OPS+ guy with shaky defense.

I don’t think you see any real trades this season for the Orioles or anyone else for that matter.  There are to many questions if this season goes the entire way.  It was just two weeks ago everyone was saying they thought season was going to be cancelled.  They seem to be past that for now but it just takes another outbreak late in season.  The Cardinals are playing 7 doubleheader’s but they have time.  They have few big market teams go down there won’t be time to make up games.  I think they will finish season but I am not trading a decent prospect on just 50/50 chance the season is complete.

No.  There are some similarities between the 2, but catchers generally develop slower, and Parra was a bit older than Severino is when the O's acquired him.  He was also dramatically deteriorating defensively when the O's got him.  He had previously been a mediocre hitter known for his good fielding.  When a 28/29 year old OFer has a major deterioration in his defense like Parra did, ya gotta figure he's not a player you should go after.  

Is Severino going to continue OPSing 1.1?  Obviously not.  But I think he's developed into a solid starting catcher at 26, and that's more valuable than a 28/29 declining corner OFer.

He is younger.  But catchers don't develop later than anyone else.  Everyone (on average) peaks around 27-28.  Severino's minor league OPS is about .660.  His MLB OPS is .693.  He might be a starting catcher for a while, maybe a long while, but it'll be an upset if his final career OPS approaches .750.  And he's not a very good defensive catcher.

We've gone around on this before, but I've rarely seen a catcher develop early.

And now you're going to list catchers that developed early - without realizing you're only listing HOFers to make your point.  Right?

Matt Wieters had his best season at 25 and second best at 26. Shrug, that was just an easy one, I'm not looking for anybody else.

      AL playoff picture

      By Bahama O's Fan · Posted

      100%! I say abolish divisions, play a fully balanced schedule and take the top 4 or 6 or 8 or whatever teams in each league to the playoffs.

      The question was asked, a few months ago, whether winning the division was necessary. A lively debate resulted, some saying the division didn’t matter(“just make the playoffs and anything can happen”) and some taking the opposite view. I wanted the Division and I’m disgusted the play has been so bad. And I haaaate the Yankees( sports hate. I’m sure they are all great guys in person.) It will not magically improve, and I despair of winning more than two more games…not even 90 wins. And in a Homer–prone park, how many homers will the Os give up? The thought is not comforting. And there’s little reason to think things will improve against the Tigers or Royals. But at least: 1) next year they will hopefully have Bautista and the position players healthy. 2) The farm has very few MLB-ready players so there won’t be so much bouncing back and forth. Hopefully the guys can settle in and just play. 3) the Os will be looking for a fourth consecutive winning season, which hasn’t happened since the 70s So there’s that…

      I need to be a better fan

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      I was about to post a similar thread, but despite my memory issues, I recalled this thread.  I still find myself enjoying sports less and less.  The issue is not my teams, but myself.  It's a sad reality that I'm bothered when my team doesn't win, or does win, but wins in a way that is not how I wanted them to!  LOL!  It's ridiculous.  Frankly, I'm somewhat ashamed. The O's are very likely going to the playoffs.  But instead of being happy about that, I'm more concerned with how awful we've been and how little I expect from them as the post-season draws near.  A real fan loves his team and sticks with them, through thick and thin.  It's absolutely okay to be critical, even frustrated, at times, but when those are the default and dominant expressions, it makes me feel... less than.  It's like this with all my favorite teams (O's/Ravens/Terps).  It's therapeutic, in a way, to reveal such truths.  But the quest to find a way to enjoy sports again, to enjoy what my teams are doing, is a process that is taking longer than I'd hoped.

      How "fired up" are you with this Yankee series?

      By Frobby · Posted

      I wouldn’t say I’m fired up.  I’d like to do enough to (1) win the season series (which only takes one win), (2) clinch a playoff spot (which probably only takes one win, depending what other teams do, and (3) improves our chances of getting the no. 4 seed (which might take a couple of wins, depending how other teams do).

      It feels like a foregone conclusion that the O’s sneak in with the third wild card spot and then lose the wild card series. So it just doesn’t really matter all that much what happens from here on out.    Then again, get hot at the right time and this could still be a World Series contender. I have to see some fire in this team before I entertain that thought though.

      I am not really fired up per se.  I am just hoping that something happens that is different than what we have seen for months.  A late comeback to win the game.  A big inning of 4 runs or more.  Some big hits from Adley or Holliday.   1 win means we win the season series against everyone in the East for the second year in a row.  That would be great.  And even if we lose, I am hoping that watching the Yankees celebrate in front of them and the fans celebrate around them fires them up.

      I feel like I asked once years ago, but can someone please explain the acronym “MFY?”
