He's trying to avoid pulling a hamstring.

He's had a nice start no doubt statistically in the first two games. However, in the 8th inning last night though, he made a poor swing decision that actually ended up becoming an RBI single. So how w

I know everyone thinks highly of Buck Britton, but I gotta question the wisdom of having Diaz stealing multiple bases after a hamstring injury. Or walking across a room without the accompaniment of a physician. 

I’m not usually one for quoting myself but I really wasn’t going out on a limb with this….

Well, I don’t blame Britton one whit, but you certainly pegged the injury.   

Honestly I don’t know what you can ever do with a guy this unreliable.   He’s a different case than someone like Hays or Santander, who’ve had random different injuries.   This guy has had one leg injury after another.   There’s every reason to think it will continue.

Agreed, and it’s likely that even when he is playing his overall performance will be tempered by the frequency of his health issues. I’m not advocating releasing him, but he can’t be counted on with a regular position of his own long term. Hopefully he runs into a stretch of health/productivity and we can trade him for an area of need.

Does anyone know if he had a history of injuries when he was with the Dodgers?

Not sure what the injuries were, but when he was with the Dodgers:

Placed on IL twice in 2016 (7 days and then a little over a month)

Placed on IL once in 2017 (Almost a whole month)

Placed on IL once in 2018 (Little over a week)

Thanks.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised about his time in the O's system.

There was a reason a guy the Dodgers spent over $40 million on was available for a rental.

If that doesn’t illustrate how starkly different the two organizations are, I don’t know what does.

Org A spends $40mm on an international lottery ticket and trades him away for one month of a playoff run.

Org B major league rosters is $40mm.  
 

So depressing to be an Orioles fan.

Maybe he can get a special exemption and use a scooter on the basepaths.

No doubt when Diaz was traded by the Dodgers, someone brought up that he cost $31 million to obtain.  I'm sure the reply was "it's only money" and do you want us to trade someone who will be good in the majors.  Without knowing what happened behind the scenes, it seems like the O's were steered toward Diaz.

Wasn't exactly a huge market for a Machado rental that year.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By interloper · Posted

      I've been thinking about #2 a lot and wondering why this didn't come up at Elias' press conference.  I think the answer if you have to target a RH bat who isn't solely power-focused or chasing HR numbers, but who is otherwise a caliber of lefty-masher better than Mounty. Or, you force that hitter here via trade.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By RVAOsFan · Posted

      Last offseason with John (I am so poor) Angelos still in charge, along with the depth in the upper minor leagues it made sense to make a trade for someone like Burnes.  I don't think Elias should be looking at making a trade this offseason using any of our young talent.  It is time for Rubenstein to open the checkbook and land us a TOR starter and a big bat.  The days of having too many prospects is over, I want to see us have some solid depth options in AAA if we need it.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Warehouse · Posted

      On #1: the question is whether all of Mayo, Kjerstad, Cowser, and Holliday have everyday roles or if are some platooned or held back in Norfolk or traded? If they all play everyday, there’s not really a meaty role to offer to a new bat. In the various post-mortems, this seems to be one of the biggest points of differences among posters.  Some want no logjams while others want one or more proven MOO professional hitters and don’t want to rely on Holliday or Mayo. My view is in the middle of the spectrum. I think at least one of Cowser or Mullins needs to sit vs. LHP, so we need a lefty masher capable of playing left field at Camden.  I think we may consider trading Mounty to make room for Mayo.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      I find #8 to be an interesting one. On the one hand, McCann seems well-liked, he brings some toughness and veteran presence, and he actually had his best offensive season since 2020. At 35, you can probably have him for a 1 year deal if you want. And Basallo isn't really that close to coming up and catching just yet. He's a deep 2nd half kind of callup if you need him. And it's not like the free agent backup catcher market is much better than McCann. On the other hand, I have a sour taste in my mouth from game 1 where he couldn't make contact with men on base. Adley certainly didn't get any better under his wise tutelage. And maybe there are guys out there who surpass McCann defensively and bring a different wrinkle to the clubhouse. So I wouldn't be mad about a change.

      This is my thought process regarding the pitching staff next season, ideally we resign Burnes but if not another TOR like Snell or Fried need to be signed this offseason.  Eflin GRod and Kremer are a really solid 2,3,4 the 5 spot is open to competition but realistically there will probably be some injuries or fatigue that require all of these guys contributing.
