Hays is so talented, but some guys just can't stay on the field. Like Jeffrey Hammonds and Nolan Reimold, it sucks to see a player with so much talent who's body doesn't let them stay on the field.

The similarities between Hays and players like Hammonds and Reimold is getting harder and harder to ignore. Hays can no doubt play and play well at the MLB level, but the question is will he ever stay healthy enough to be a player the O's can count on.

With Reimold, I have no doubt he would have been a multiple time all star if he could have managed to play 140 games a season.

In CF, having great range is usually more important than having a strong arm.   Therefore, defensively I prefer Mullins in CF to Hays, and when they play together it makes sense to have Mullins in CF

Not as rare as spotting Kjerstad on the field in an Oriole uniform.

Maybe it's Hayes vs Santander.  It's hard to rely on 2 such injury-prone players.  Otoh, they can't really risk trading Hayes unless they get an incredible offer.  

I'm not sure what you mean.

Are you saying you can't trade guys if you might end up "losing" the trade?

Mullins looks great but I can’t ignore his overall stat line for his career. Perhaps Mullins will have a longer career and play more games than Hays.

 

Joe Orsulak played in over 350 games more than Grady Sizemore. At the end of the day you have to hope Hays stays on the field.

The O's aren't in a position where they can trade away a player with the kind of talent Hays has - unless they get an amazing offer.  Those are the kind of players they need to eventually compete.  

And anyone who's looking to trade for Hays is going to take a look at his injury history.  I don't think you could get an "amazing" offer for a guy who's got a .735 OPS in 76 games across 4 seasons because he's been hurt so much.  

You can talk about his talent all day long, that's fine.  No one disagrees that he's a talented guy.  But at some point the talent doesn't matter...staying on the field does.  I don't think we'd get an "amazing" offer for him strictly because of that. 

So we're most likely stuck with him.  Maybe he shakes off the injury thing, maybe he doesn't.

Then you run the risk of not improving your team and ending up with nothing if Hays can't stay healthy. 

You can't get overly attached to potential.

I'm not saying trade him, but my price would be below amazing.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      I can see them pursuing him and I wouldn’t be against it. But anyone who thinks he’s signing for 4/120, or that there’s a big FA SP class, needs a better editor.

      Roch is an idiot. Criticizing the fanbase at a time like now is ridiculous. 1 run in 2 games? Cmon man.    Also, nobody asks for that stupid emcee to get the crowd excited, that’s strictly for tv purposes.

      I was there and there was nothing to get remotely excited about except for 5 minutes in the 5th inning. Stupid swings at the plate, lack of hitting in RISP. Cleveland scored more run before they recorded an out today than we did in 2 full games at home. Let that sink in. Our team is full of chokers that don’t handle pressure well or rise to the occasion.

      This really only works if you're looking at 2 years of data.  Look at 4 years of data and suddenly Burnes looks like a vastly better bet.  Burnes has had an era under 3 for 3 out of the last 4 seasons plus the covid year.  Musgrove only 1 prior to signing the deal.

      Elias: It's on me

      By Orioles West · Posted

      I survived the decade plus losing years, I’m fairly hard to disappoint at this age. That said, I think they can change some things up in spring training - small ball stuff isn’t hard to add to the arsenal. I think they O’s may add a FA or two or resign one or two of our own guys in the winter. I don’t think we will ever throw money around like the Yanks or Dodgers, but I do believe ownership will invest more than the previous crew. All I was saying is I hope Elias starts to tackle some of the changes he talked about to push the rebuild to the next level. I do agree I’ll not be able to evaluate any potential changes until this time next year.

      https://www.masnsports.com/orioles-rss/some-wild-card-leftovers-and-lingering-thoughts-as-playoffs-proceed-without-orioles Roch pointing out the lack of attendance in the playoff games and lower energy level from the fans that were there. Maybe the fans just matched the team’s energy level the last 3 months? They were lifeless and witnessed what happened in the WC all too often from July-September. They went 1-13 with RISP, had 2 real XBH’s, and 1 run in 18 innings. The Guardians scored 2 runs 4 batters into their series. The team gave the fans little to cheer for from July on - the attendance and energy level just reflected that and the general discontent that this year’s team brought, even though there’s no shame in a 91 win season.
