We need NL teams to view Mancini as an OF. That’s how we get a good return. 

I don't want to see Mancini go, but you're right if he's perceived as an outfielder Elias could start a bidding war among interested teams. I don't think that's likely and Mancini if traded it will be to a team that needs a 1B/DH.

Yeah that does work.   Chris Davis' agent talked up the possibility of him playing some RF and some idiot team gave him $160mm.

So....the Mets - those are forthright GM quotes for before Memorial Day.   Ronny Mauricio feels like a good fit for the Adley Orioles, but he is a high value player.

The Mets have been faking CF for years and years....this is the Mullins spot.   I don't think you can Hays your way to Mauricio.     Mauricio could always 2B, but Baty/McNeil decent Lindor flankers medium term.   At least for Orioles asks of Mets, would think Mauricio good edge on Baty.

If Elias feels one of our infielders can actually handle SS, then Baty and Vientos are two 3B in their Top 10

CF Pete Crow-Armstrong should be our target. Give them Mancini, Galvis and Fry.

I can't tell if you're serious. Why would any team trade its 19 year old 1st round pick, especially for the three players named?

Its funny you say that given this a thread about the Mets (see Jared Kelenic).

That said, different GM, different circumstances.  It won't happen but...it has.

I just cant get excited anymore with us trading away good ballplayers for AAA guys. We already have a team full of AAA guys.

We could actually use more of the AAA prospect types.  We are jacked with A/AA prospects.  The lack of big league ready prospects is what is our system lacks at the moment, but it won't be a problem forever.

You can see the successes of the rebuild have started to flourish in Delmarva, Aberdeen, and Bowie as all 3 are competitive and showcase a lot of exciting names.  Norfolk and the O's have nuggets, but overall, are thin on high end talent, have been terrible in the standings,  and show we are still about 2 seasons away from competing.  Santander, Mancini, and Means are the nuggets on the parent club, but we need to trade high and add to the AA/AAA crop.  We have a few interesting, controllable pieces beyond that on our AAA and big league club, but not enough to think we can contend in the next couple seasons.  The next two seasons belong to Hays, Mullins, Stewart, Mountcastle and some of the young pitchers.  There will probably be more Gavis/Iglesias/Franco deals too.  In about 2023 the talent in the system will start to click and arrive at the same time, Elias can supplement it with a couple big FA deals, and we are rolling. 

Sell high!

      If you could somehow combine Luis Arreaz’s hit tool with Mateo’s everything else, you’d have a hall of famer

      Sunday May 19: O's vs Mariners

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      Sure. The three and five thing really makes sense, both intuitively and statistically. It’s the intuitive side of 1 v 9 that I just can’t wrap my head around in spite of the well done stats you’ve provided as an example.  Probably because I’m thinking game by game and not season by season. The idea of Mateo batting 5 times tomorrow night, while one of the best hitters in the league bats 4, seems in my head like nonsense.

      I think most people would be the same way. If a competing business would offer me a 20% raise to jump ship I'd have my two weeks in tomorrow.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      Assuming Gunnar likes batting leadoff, which I think he does, I'm happy to keep him there. Your best hitters should get the most at bats.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By ShoelesJoe · Posted

      Currently on pace for 55 HRs, 115 RBI, and 125 runs scored. Those are great numbers obviously, but are we taking full advantage of Gunnar's abilities by batting him leadoff almost every game? I'm sure Eddie Murray and Frank Robinson would have been dynamite at leadoff, but their teams were better off making sure they came up as much as possible with men on base. So far this season Henderson has fewer ABs with men on base than any of the other regulars, which has to have cost us some runs -- and therefor wins -- somewhere along the line.  With Cowser seemingly out of his funk I'd like to see him batting leadoff more often. He leads the Orioles in walks and OB%, and has enough speed that he'll take the extra bases just like Henderson does. I believe a lineup that looks something like this would score more runs than what we're getting now: VS RH --  Cowser Adley Westburg Henderson Santander O'Hearn Mountcastle Mullins Mateo   VS LH --  Westburg Adley Mountcastle Henderson Santander Hays Cowser McCann Mateo

      Houston Roth - Bowie

      By Legend_Of_Joey · Posted

      A bit of a forgotten pitcher in Bowie this season, we weren't even sure where he would start the year. The last few seasons, he worked as a starter or piggybacked with starters, making it up to AAA last season for 1 game, which didn't go the way he hoped to end the season. This year, the 26 year old, 858th overall pick in the 2019 draft has worked out of the bullpen. This season, he has appeared in 10 games, totaling 13.2 innings and getting 20 strike outs. He has a 3.95 ERA thanks to a disaster game on May 5th, where he allowed 5 runs. He also allowed a run on April 10th in his second appearance of the season. Aside from those two games, he hasn't allowed a run in the other 8 games. The big thing that impacted him the last few seasons were walks, which is still has some trouble with. 6 total so far, which would be fine if he started 10 games. But 6 walks in 10 games isn't ideal and is a big reason for his 1.24 WHIP. If he can lower the walks while keeping the strike outs and the runs sparse, I would like to see him get to Norfolk in June and see how he handles the bullpen there. With the glut of position players and seemingly lack of minor league pitching help for the bullpen, I want to see some aggressiveness on moving some older bullpen players seeing if they can sink or swim.
