The Marlins are once again looking for OFers and we know they talked with the Os last year.

Brian Anderson, like Santander, is coming off a down year but, like Santander, has a higher upside to be more than that.  

Both players are arb eligible for the first time in 2022.  
 

Both can play good defense at their positions and both can hit for an 800+ OPS.  Seems like a fair deal for each team to address a position of need.

Both players were Arb eligible last year.  Anderson was paid $3.8 mm, Santander $2.1 mm.   Anderson is under control for 2 more seasons, Santander for 3 (he was a Super Two last year).

I don’t think Miami would do this deal.   I’d definitely do it if I were the O’s.

I think the O's can add infielders through FA.  But adding starters from FA will be tough.   If the O's trade Santander I think it will be for a starter because that is a bigger need.

What starting pitcher can we get for Santander?  People keep saying this but what disappointing starter making similar money is available to an OF needy team?

Andrew Heaney might be our biggest offseason move. That and a Mancini trade for whatever we can get. I think Santander sticks till the deadline and hopefully builds value. 

I'm kind of tired of this thought that Orioles should and will continue to try and be the lowest common denominator in the sport.  Enough is enough, you have to start building a winning team at some point and it doesn't happen with the flip of a switch.  We don't get to next off season and go "Now is the time to compete! Nut, nuk, lets go get some free agents and replace all this drivel on the team."  Thats asanine and if you look you will find any playoff roster is the result of years of building and taking calculated risks that heretofore I have not seen Elias is willing to do.

If Elias persists in his belief that he will build an entire team from Single A up without acquiring meaningful low, and sometimes higher risk,  free agents, the Orioles will never sniff a playoff game until long after Adley Ruschman or Grayson Rodriguez have become Yankees or Red Sox players and won championships with their new teams.

Pablo Lopez?

The imbalances of Kim Ng's and Mike Elias' talent buckets give plenty of fodder for discussion whenever talent accumulation changes over to funneling it into a roster.

Honestly if the Marlins are trying for 2022, they put a lot of eggs in Starling Marte for that big CF last year   I don't think Ng has much chance to bid/win him back, and Anderson important to their '22 team trying to hit enough to be relevant.    

The Marlins probably have the pitching to make Elias the Mullins offer he can't refuse (or Hays somewhere between him and Santander), but what would it be?

I mean…if they offered Cabrera and Meyer for Mullins it’d be kinda hard to say no

Answering my own question:  not much of one, I don't believe.

Yeah I believe in his talent. Guy you trade cause he's injury prone then gets himself right and mashes for a few years.

I do like Brian Anderson as a target though. That career OBP will keep him from being too cheap despite the down year. Still, should definitely kick the tires there.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By e16bball · Posted

      A little funny to have provided descriptions of the hits (“weak” single; “500 foot” HR). FIP doesn’t care about any of that either, so it’s kind of an odd thing to add in an effort to make ERA look bad.  Come in, strike out the first hitter, then give up three 108 MPH rocket doubles off the wall. FIP thinks you were absolutely outstanding, and it’s a shame your pathetic defense and/or sheer bad luck let you down. Next time you’ll (probably) get the outcomes you deserve. They’re both flawed. So is xFIP. So is SIERA. So is RA/9. So is WPA. So is xERA. None of them are perfect measures of how a pitcher’s actual performance was, because there’s way too much context and too many variables for any one metric to really encompass.  But when I’m thinking about awards, for me at least, it ends up having to be about the actual outcomes. I don’t really care what a hitter’s xWOBA is when I’m thinking about MVP, and the same is true for pitchers. Did you get the outs? Did the runs score? That’s the “value” that translates to the scoreboard and, ultimately, to the standings. So I think the B-R side of it is more sensible for awards.  I definitely take into account the types of factors that you (and other pitching fWAR advocates) reference as flaws. So if a guy plays in front of a particular bad defense or had a particularly high percentage of inherited runners score, I’d absolutely adjust my take to incorporate that info. And I also 100% go to Fangraphs first when I’m trying to figure out which pitchers we should acquire (i.e., for forward looking purposes).  But I just can’t bring myself say that my Cy Young is just whichever guy had the best ratio of Ks to BBs to HRs over a threshold number of innings. As @Frobby said, it just distills out too much of what actually happened.

      We were all a lot younger in 2005.  No one wanted to believe Canseco cause he’s a smarmy guy. Like I said, he was the only one telling the truth. It wasn’t a leap of faith to see McGwire up there and Sosa up there and think “yeah, those guys were juicing” but then suddenly look at Raffy and think he was completely innocent.  It’s a sad story. The guy should be in Hall of Fame yet 500 homers and 3,000 hits are gone like a fart in the wind cause his legacy is wagging his finger and thinking he couldn’t get caught.  Don’t fly too close to the sun.

      Os vs KC in WC round

      I think if we get the fun sprinkler loving Gunnar that was in the dugout yesterday, I don’t think we have to worry about him pressing. He seemed loose and feeling good with the other guys he was with, like Kremer.

      I was a lot younger back then, but that betrayal hit really hard because he had been painting himself as literally holier than thou, and shook his finger to a congressional committee and then barely 2 weeks later failed the test.

      Not bad, but Mullins needs to be at Centerfield for his range, glove, and defensive ability. Top teir premium defense cannot be underestimated. Kjerstad will be on the bench. I think the question is whether Slater or Cowser plays. I would prefer Ramirez over Slater if they need another right handed bat. Sig needs to look at Adleys recent sample sizes vs LHP before making him DH. McCann is catching for Burnes and hitting the left handed pitcher. He's also on a hot streak.

      I’m slightly (irrationally, I admit, there’s no factual basis for what I’m about to say) worried that Gunnar is going to view this as the “Gunnar vs. Bobby” show and press hard at the plate and in the field leading to bad at bats and unforced errors.

      Sounds like getting your heart broken by big league ballplayers is a personal problem. Learn and adjust accordingly. These guys usually aren’t trying to be role models and he played in an era where a lot of players were on the gas. Was I surprised? Yeah, a little bit.  No one likes to admit Jose Canseco was the most honest one up there that day and was telling the truth the entire time.
