I view Odor as a waiver wire claim/reclamation project. If he excels, then good. If not, we cut bait and for the league min. 
 

Don’t we always talk about convincing reclamation projects to sign here for cheap?  Didn’t we just do that. I get it, he’s not everyone’s pet reclamation project. 

Well, okay.  I hope he can reclaim something close to that .692 OPS he's been carrying since 2017.  Yes, I know one of those seasons was a short year...man, that would have been the year he busted out if they played all the games, I bet!

Still an awful signing though.  Brutal.

Hmm...although I love the guy for punching Bautista in the face, I don't love him as a player for this team.

Don’t know why anyone is up in arms. Major league minimum. They definitely needed a warm body or 2 for the infield. Not going to go into the year with Urias, Mateo, and Gutierrez as your starters. You

What contract do you think he’s going to get in this market?

Who cares?  And you didn’t answer my question.  Of all the people advocating for him (and I will repeat this again..I Do NOT WANT HIM..hoping that actually sinks in this time)..has anyone advocated for him at 10M a year?

He’s just biding his time and making adjustments.  He will be back to where he was 7 years ago before you know it!

Its not like he has been playing in good parks for lefties to hit in or anything.

So were you up in arms when we gave Kohl Stewart or Maikel Franco cheap deals?  They actually cost more than Odor. How can anyone be upset over a league min deal?  Like I’m pretty sure I’d we cut him we don’t even have to pay out the remaining league min deal. 
 

This is the definition of a low risk signing at an area of need.

It is too bad that Fernando Abad became a free agent last month.  The one upside would've been if he could've had his locker next to Roughned.  Then the O's would've officially had Abad Odor in one corner of the locker room.

Oh trust me..there’s a bad odor in that locker room…because this team is going to stink.

But that’s ok…because every one of our prospects is going to hit And we will be able to trade depth for pitching and all will be good.

You keep asking the same questions and people keep giving you answers.

How about you read what people are saying?

So this is your off-season agenda?  Every move and non move you criticize?  I think you did like the Cionel Perez claim.

I think we should avoid hyperbole here.   Sure, it is possible that Odor will have a rebound year that is better than his last several.   For that reason, it’s possible that in hindsight we’ll say that this move wasn’t a waste of time.   But the odds are against Odor being anything better than he’s been the last five years.   There’s a high probability that he won’t significantly improve the team.   I’d be happy to be wrong about that.

Cool then the Orioles could play this Lynyrd Skynyrd song whenever Abad and Odor are in the game at the same time.

I criticize stupid…this is stupid and again, it’s not just stupid because of the signing.  It goes beyond the player and the signing.

When he does something smart, I will praise that.

Judge the move, not the result.

The move, when it is being made (ie now) is poor on many different levels.  
 

If he ends up with a 750 OPS and 25 homers, I will have been a poor move that worked out.  That can happen but it doesn’t change what it was at the time of the move.

I don’t know if I’d say it’s a “poor” move.   It’s certainly an uninspiring one.  If that’s the most significant move we make this offseason, I’d certainly call the offseason a poor one.

      i still like that winning your division matters, at least a little bit.  So I think there's a happy medium between how unbalanced it was, and what you are suggesting.  13 games vs each division team feels right to me, but there are going to be years where that skews the WC thing a bit, because there's always one really bad team, it seems, somewhere (not always as bad as the ChiSox, of course).  I'm not sure how else to further balance it.  Maybe cut back on the NL stuff a bit and play more games against your non-divisional conference rivals so at least there's more head to head to base the WC on.

      Apparently this post of mine from one year ago killed this thread, as it was the last before today's bump.  In re-reading that, I am reminded (by a past version of myself, LOL) of why I love this sport.  It was actually a bit invigorating reading that back to myself.  LETS GO BIRDS!

      I've found the older I get, the less interest I have in watching my teams lose. It's a waste of time so I find something else to do. Watching my team lose is not enjoyable so I'd rather do something I'd enjoy. It's not like I'm that old either, just 47. I get a lot more enjoyment out of watching good games with other teams, to be honest. Watching the Bills in the first half last night was fun. The Redskins/Bengals game was fun to watch. Man City and Arsenal on Sunday was great. The Chiefs/Falcons game was a good game. There were a few decent college football games this last weekend as well. I'll watch the game to start tonight and if the O's are down 3-0 after the 1st inning, I'll find something else to do, probably watch some of the other MLB games that have playoff implications.

      It will be interesting to see if there is any carry over from the HBP's culminating in Heston's beaning.  Hate to say it but that's around when the .500 play started, now much worse.  I did like the way HK stared down Holmes after being hit-I think this series will mean a little more to him.

      It’s O’s and Yanks. Good guys versus bad guys. Baby Birds up against the Evil Empire — and another trip to the post-season is in the cards. I’ve been cheering for the O’s and very specifically against the Yanks going on six decades, and I’m getting good at it. So, yeah. I’m fired up. Now ask me about hopes and dreams. I don’t think this Orioles team is going to make a run to WS this year.  They have scuffled, they have failed — but I’m reminded, even in the platinum age of data — baseball is still a game of failure.  And man, runners in scoring position over the last week, I’m not sure I want to know that number. They’re still my guys. As long as they’re in it, so am I.
