Please Chris, strike out.

Need to avoid the DP here.

Wish granted. The best possible outcome there for the O's is Davis only makes one out. Unless the owner or front office are making him play Davis, Hyde should be fired for putting him in the lineup STILL. IMO. Each day that goes by with Davis being this incompetent just digs a deeper hole for Hyde. Again, unless it's coming from an Angelos or Elias. In that case, Hyde is off the hook, and our upper management are being their stubborn selves as always.

It’s coming from Angelos. They don’t pay people to sit at home.

    • Sticking with realistic expectations. 1. Beavers and Luis Sanchez for Tanner Scott Sanchez is 21 and can touch 100 but has more walks than innings at Aberdeen. 2. Bradfield for Carlos Estevez Is Mike Trout still in CF 2-3 years from now?   3. Norby and Baumeister for Fedde @Chicago White Sox  said he was good with either Beavers or Norby plus someone like Baumeister.   If I’m the WS I’d take Norby but whatever. Obviously, these can be adjusted but hopefully you get the general point.  Sure up the rotation and a big upgrade to the bullpen.  No top 4 prospects used.  Povich, McDermott, Johnson all kept.   Fedde under control for 2025. You have a playoff bullpen.  You have a rotation that can get you through the second half and make a push for the division title. You don’t have an ace type pitcher for game #3 in the playoffs.   We have no idea if the ace type pitchers we’ve talked about (Skubal and Crochet) will be healthy or effective (both will be in innings territory they’ve never been in before) in October.   The above deals give the team a solid chance without much risk.  
    • I’ll take the growing pains/mistakes/errors all day to get Mayo in the lineup. We just gotta find a taker for Urias.  Mayo has well earned the promotion. 
    • Ok, I did it. I moved Mayo to #1 because I believe in the bat so much. Holliday has been hitting well of late so I almost didn't do it, but I just think I'd trade Holliday before Mayo even though I would not trade either. Basallo still could be better then them both. Really the team has three #1 prospects. 1A, 1B, 1C. The only issues is the huge dropoff after the top three. No one wants to claim that #4 spot so I left Povich there. Povich should graduate here shortly anyways so hopefully someone will take that step forward and claim that #4 spot that Kjerstad graduate from.

    • LOL that’s embarrassing on my part. Thanks. 
    • Btw, this doesn’t give him a lot of time to build his value back up for the offseason. So, it’s still unlikely they get back anything close to what they would have in this past offseason. So, going off of the idea they won’t trade him for less, do they really want to hold onto him for another calendar year in hopes the value increases?  
    • I'm referring to Urias, who I posted about in my original post.
