So he’s had 4 seasons of over your figure 1.2, 2.3, 3.8, and 4.0. So your statement is ridiculous. He’s only had 2 negative WAR seasons due to injury. As bad as 2018 was he was still worth 1.2. The other two .6 & .8 were his rookie and second season. 

You totally misunderstood me. 0.3-0.5 so far in 1/6-1/5 of a year. So over a full year maybe 1.5-3.0. But he is likely doing better than should be expected given we have little better data for several years. Sure he was hurt a lot but that matters to expectations.

They are close...but the Orioles are selling and I don’t suggest that they buy anything that costs prospects 

I’m not suggesting it should be their strategy now to make a trade like that, but do you think say Ryan Mountcastle and 2 other prospects is equal value for Hernandez?

If he’s a perennial-300 hitter I’d be inclined to extend him early unless you can really sell high

If you think Hanser Alberto brings a lot back selling high, I have more bad news for you.

A .300 average doesn’t have much value when it comes with a low OBP and no power. Today’s GMs understand this.

It is a same the Pirates are not buyers again they traded Glasgow and Meadows for Chris Archer.  Why couldn’t Gausman been just bit better that year so we could have got that haul.  That might turn out to be one of worst deadline trades ever.

If you think Hernandez/Santander helps you go deep and perhaps steal a World Series in a strange year you probably make the deal. If you think either guy is a budding star it’s a no brainer.

He was a 3 WAR player last year and I agree that I’d like to see him walk enough to get his OBP around .350. His OPS last year which was a breakout season was .751 and he’s close to .800 now. 
 

As I mentioned, I like his game enough to extend him on a reasonable deal. So I’m not heartbroken if no one will overpay

Orioles bad luck ....Bundy probably nets more at the deadline than we got for him in the fall.

I believe Shane Baz was included in that deal as well. Awful deal for the Pirates. The Rays have made some very astute trades in the past several years.

Don’t forget about Shane Baz too.

Incredible deal for them.

The Rays took Matt Garza and turned him into Chris Archer in 2011 then kept Acher til 2017 then turned him into Glasnow, Meadows and Baz.

Looking farther back they took Jason Bartlett hot half season into Garza in 2007 then Garza into Archer then to Glasnow, Baz and Meadows.

That’s the difference between a good front office and a mediocre to bad one. 
 

Pretty impressive series of trades .... but it also takes some luck.

 

interesting .... Archer and Cobb are pretty close in regard to WAR. Archer is 1 ahead despite the fact that Cobb has most most of 2 seasons. I’d be willing to bet Rays fans would feel that Archer has underachieved the lofty projections that they had for him as a TOR. He’s only been worth a total of two wins combined in 2018 & 2019. Any he was only worth 1.3 in 2017. Seems like Pittsburgh overpaid. Hopefully we can get someone to overpay as well. Bundy was worth more from 2017 - 2019. ....5.5/2.1

Alex Cobb to the Braves makes sense.  You could take Ender Incarte back to help with the money owed to Cobb.  Ender has 1 more year for 9 million left next year, he can play all three outfield positions can come in as pinch runner and defensive replacement for Mountcastle.  
 

I would see about Cobb to Braves for Incarte and Touki/Bryce Wilson/Kyle Muller trade whichever you like best of the three pitchers.  Doubt they will want to trade Anderson or Wright but you can ask.  

Cobb for Touki makes sense to me.  The Braves are really tired of Touki's inconsistent command and need an innings eater.  Then again, why would Touki's command improve with the O's?  I guess that's the question.  The O's would have to think they can get him straightened out.  If they can, he's a legit talent.  

I don't think Incarte has to be included.  Just have the O's pay a big chunk of Cobb's contract.

    • It's a foregone conclusion that they will blow a 4 game lead in the span of 6 games? 
    • 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 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.  
    • 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.
