I don't doubt that he has suggested locking players up long term.  I question whether he singled out Henderson as THAT player.  Did he suggest we lock up Mayo?  Tony had Mayo ranked ahead of Henderson at the end of last year.

This idea that he alone mentioned we should lock up Henderson and no one else was on board with it is a bit much to digest.

Well stop questioning it.  Not sure why you feel it’s your life’s mission to do stuff like this.

I got a chance to see Henderson play in person for the first time today.  I’ve watched dozens of his games on TV but hadn’t had a chance to see him play live.   My observations are the following:

I learned a ton watching him today.  The kid is fearless and carries himself like a big leaguer.   You can see all the tools are there.   Honestly, I was even impressed by him spoiling an 0-2 pitch an

Why do you feel it's your life's mission to be the most obnoxious poster in OH history?  Still a shame that Tony took you back.   I guess you beg really well.

lol..Tony told me several years ago I could come back.

And seeing as he only suspended you for one day recently, I would say it’s a shame he let you back.

And yea, I’m the obnoxious one arguing with another poster saying he didn’t say something that everyone knows he did and then spending however much time parsing through a 36 page thread just to potentially issue some kind of an I told you so.  You are a real winner.

Actually I reacted to an "I told you so" post from Corn.  You feel the need to jump in as usual.

Wow.

You actually spent that much time on it?

I have no idea where I said it.  Threads get derailed all of the time and I am often to blame.

I’m not 100% sure but it may have been a thread about Adley. I remember it because it’s when you said they should call him up now and play him.

Definitely some savings in that deal.  It look like he is making 25M for his arb years.

First FA year is 22M and the rest are 25M.  If he’s an elite talent, that’s cheap.  If he’s Jurickson Profar, it’s a horrible contract.

Would Gunnar sign that deal?  I tend to doubt it.  I think signing an 8-9 year deal makes more sense.

Something like you pay him roughly $40M for the first 6 years and then sign him for 22-28M a year for 2-3 years of FA.  
 

I would probably offer him and Adley identical 8/120 type deals.  Adley will have one more year of service time on his deal (ie one more year of FA)…but something in that area for each.

Still makes Henderson a FA around 29/30 years old.  I think that’s an easier sell to Boras than a 10-15 year deal would be.

So jurickson profar is still elite talent, he has just been injured so much.  Hes showing his talent level now that he is healthy.  Minor distinction but it does highlight what can go wrong with long pre-arb contracts, even to elite talent.

 

An 8 year deal to buy out 2 years of FA?  He might go with that.  I think we would have to go a fair bit over 120 for both.  Probably around 130-140.  I stepped away from using Posey as a comp, but at least for Henderson you're going to have to pay a Boras tax.

Start with this post.  Or you can look a little before and after.  Not sure if this was the first time, but it was one time. 


 

 Lol, this was my sole contribution to that thread.

Is it me or is there way more pointless arguing on the board lately? I was wondering how an innocuous post on our A club offense would have five pages. I am not pointing fingers because I have been guilty as much as anyone.

Is there a badge for that?  If not Tony should add a "vacation" badge.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By interloper · Posted

      I went to a few games this year, but here are the reasons I didn't go to the WC games: The team had been an absolute bummer to watch for 3 entire months out of the season and to be honest by the time the playoffs got here I was exhausted and annoyed. The brand of baseball they had been employing for half the season (over-reliance on the home run, terrible ABs, iffy defense) frankly sucked to watch, even on TV, and I'm already spending money to watch them on TV. I wanted them to prove they could get past the WC round before I shelled out more money. I imagine a lot of people share these reasons with me.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      People whining about 41k attendance and blaming it on the city have no idea what they're talking about.  Why were there 47k+ of Game 1 against the Rangers last year? Did the city all of a sudden not matter then? It was also a day game. Alas, it was on a Saturday. And they had that locked up for awhile. Why has attendance went up YoY? Look at the Astros and the Brewers. They had *less* people at their G1 games. Is Milwaukee not a nice city? Is Houston not a nice city?  This is pretty simple. It was a day game during a weekday with crappy weather coming off a pretty lackluster performance going into the playoffs. And folks didn't know if there'd even be a home game until, what, barely a week before?  People like winners. Miami is an awesome city. They got a new stadium when it first opened. But guess what? That team stunk in fairly short order upon stadium opening and attendance tanked.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Would love to bring him back on a 1 year deal for anywhere from $3-$7m.  Great depth arm. Don't pencil him into the 5th starter role. This club needs to pickup two starters: a TOR arm and a BOR arm. Have an open competition for the 5th spot. If Suarez doesn't make it, he'd be a great middle reliever arm. Open competition between Free Agent, Suarez, Povich, McDermott, and Rogers. Do not just go into 2025 penciling Rogers into any role.

      What's Your Top Priority

      By Orioles West · Posted

      It's really tough to set a top priority when I don't know what the budget is. I think the new ownership group will be investing more than the previous regime, I just don't know by how much. I highly doubt the O's will ever be in the "spend whatever it takes mode" like the Mets a couple years ago or the standard yearly overspending by the Dodgers or Yanks. It's still tough to make my Christmas list without knowing the balance sheet. If we're the Dodgers, we keep Burnes and Tony Taters. Hopes and wishes it is then: Even if we sign Burnes, which I wouldn't mind at least making a run at him, I think we need another starter, because injuries and how this year went. Even if the Mountain returns healthy, we need high leverage help in the pen. Veteran bat - no idea who, but if Mullins and Santander leave, we will have to add someone -- I don't know that our prospects will be stepping up or stepping back next year.

      Who Stays and Who Goes Early Guess

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      What I like about Webb is he has an excellent changeup and can get LHB's out. Besides Felix, everyone else in the bullpen needs to be matched up. I think it is important to have another reliable guy who can be brought in to any situation. He is also cheap. I think he is too valuable to just give him away to another team. I like him better than Perez for sure.

      Bingo....I have said this before also. Wives of players are not clamoring to come near B-More. Factor in taxes and its a hard sell.
