The ex-Orioles lineup vs the Orioles lineup

[DocJJ]

Who would win?

Lineup:

1B Christian Walker .296 3 HR 13 RBI .840 OPS

2B Jonathan Schoop .286 7 HR 16 RBI .833 OPS

3B Justin Turner .294 2 HR 19 RBI .817 OPS

SS Manny Machado .280 8 HR 22 RBI .943 OPS

CF Mike Yastrzemski .293 7 HR 23 RBI 1.022 OPS

RF Nick Markakis .353 1 HR 6 RBI 1.039 OPS

LF Jonathan Villar .270 2 HR 9 RBI .691 OPS

DH Nelson Cruz .327 11 HR 27 RBI 1.088 OPS

C Matt Wieters .000  0 HR 0 RBI. .000 OPS (someone has to catch, couldn't find anyone else)

 

Pitchers:

Josh Hader 0-0 0.00 7 Saves (nifty .548 WHIP!)

Zack Britton 0-2 2.00 ERA 8 Saves

Kevin Gausman 1-1 4.65 ERA

Dylan Bundy 3-2 2.58 (0.877 WHIP!)

Nestor Cortes 0-1 15.28 ERA (running out of starting pitching ideas....)

 

 

I'm not being critical of the O's management- all teams have guys they couldn't afford the money to re-sign or guys they gave up on a bit prematurely....  I'm sure the Indians would love to have Santander back!

Some other pitchers to fill out your staff:   Zach Davies, Chaz Roe, Oliver Drake, Brault, Rich Hill, Arrieta, Strop, Brach, O'Day.

[Ripken]

Peter Angelos was an abomination.

[bpilktree]

Liam Hendrix was on the preseason all star list pretty sure he should’ve closer.

 

[OsEatAlEast]

If only Duquette was a Pat Gillick type that held on to prospects. Never agreed with a model of trade prospects for a playoff run and then let said player you traded for go the next season.

[bpilktree]

I wonder what the 25 man roster would cost.

I think it had more to do with being in contention 6 straight years.  It is tough for small market teams to keep going for it year after year they usually have a 4-5 year window and then need to rebuild or throw in towel.

If Elias takes an approach for building similar to Tampa we should get used to there being a lot of ex-Orioles.

Gotta give Rich Hill some props.  His career was basically done in 2009, when his barely-attached arm was lobbing up junk for the Orioles.  Now he's 40, has pitched in 19 pro seasons, something like 30 teams including minors.  And he also had some personal tragedy mixed in there.

Naw, by the time they will get expensive they will be so old no one will trade for them.

One of my examples would be Andrew Miller. It would have been a great trade had they held on to him. He was one of the best relievers in the game at the time. It's just in my mind that if you think enough of a guy to trade for him then they should be thought of as part of your future. JMO

The trade would grade out the same either way.  He was a free agent without attached draft pick compensation.

Who trades for an injured player?

[DocJJ]

Rotation could have included Eduardo Rodriguez, but I see he's out for the year with Covid related Myocarditis....  Yikes!!!!
