World Series favorites from 1-30. "We" rank 'em

Generic "We." Different byline for each team...

Anyways... On the O's:

Quote

29. Baltimore Orioles

Leitch:.....and talk instead about the Orioles. On one hand, they were actually kind of fun last year, with a not-terrible bullpen and just enough hitting to keep you from changing the channel. On the other hand, the brass wasn't fooled by winning those few extra games and didn’t let it affect their long-term plan, such as it is, one whit. This is going to be a rebuilding team, probably for a couple of more years at least, but you can start to see the outline of what they are trying to build. With this franchise, that’s progress. And it keeps them out of the final pick of our draft.

 

Don't know who Leitch is but a pretty fair assessment imo. The bolded is the best part to me.

 

And... WE'RE NOT THE WORST! :clap:

Do y'all think when the season is over we will be the team with the second worst record?

I'd guess anywhere in the bottom 5 or 6. Lot of bad teams, but like us last year a little, we or anyone else could have some good stretches. I don't see us picking any better (worse) than 6th. But by the same token bad stretches could doom any of those teams. We could surely be last (#1 pick!) Almost random chance.

      the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.

      2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

      I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.

      It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.

      Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted.

      No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.

      The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
