You thought I was joking last week. I thought I was joking last week. Elias must be getting nervous with how well the O's are playing.  😉

If it hastens the end of the Odor era, I'm ok with this move. I don't think Cano is the answer to anything, but Odor has to go. He's been one of the worse players in baseball when you combine is lack

I rather have Cano on the team at the league minimum than Odor.  He can't be any worse.  I can't imagine both Cano and Odor taking up roster spots.  Neither can play any position other than secon

I want to move on from Odor, but moving on from Odor to Cano seems to be a lateral move. I know Urias hasn't been good and they want a lefty bat, but I would still much rather we just say good bye to Odor, stick Urias at 2B full time and give 3B to Nevin for a bit. Rutschman will be up next week and as a switch hitter gives us another bat from the left side against righties. Then bring up Martin to replace Owings. 

Vavra's injury really hinders the infield picture right now. If he were healthy, he'd have a clear shot to get his major league debut.

I’m trying to be as open minded about this as I can.

The Mets have Jeff McNeill at 2B boasting a 148 OPS+.   Their utility guy Guillorme has a 126 OPS+ and doubtlessly is more versatile than Cano.   They are doing DH by committee.   So, there’s really no spot for Cano.  

The O’s, on the other hand, have Rougned Odor at 2B.   Cano perhaps could be a small upgrade.   He did post an .896 OPS in 2020 and his numbers this year could just be skewed SSS stuff.  

OK, that’s the best rationalization I can come up with.  I don’t think it flies.   Odor vs. Cano — ugh!

 

This is where the annual Vavra injury hurts. If he was doing well in Norfolk and healthy, he'd be the guy to bring up though he's not great at turning DPs.

That I am not sure of.  Listening to Baseball Tonight they seem to think the Cano is nothing more than a DH now.   So I don't know at 39 whether he can turn the double play like Odor can.  And the DPs have been important to the pitching staff.

That is why I say sign him to the minor league contract. Send him to Sarasota and see what he has left before bringing him to the majors.

He's like Odor, but can't play defense.  I'll pass.

The Correa stuff was fun and maybe he was right, but the Stowers non-injury was clearly just wrong and he never corrected himself. As a supposed journalist, that's about as bad as it gets. We can't be starting threads based on "reporters" who have clearly outed themselves as bogus. I believe there's a board rule about it. Even if he heard from someone that Stowers was going to miss a month, what kind of idiot doesn't issue a correction when the guy is in the lineup the very same day?

I don’t like Odor

I don’t like Cano

So if they switch one for the other, it doesn’t matter a whole lot to me. I’d rather see a young guy hit below a .600 OPS than a tired veteran. But if it’s Odor out and Cano in, would that make any difference whatsoever?

      Adley's health this season

      By interloper · Posted

      I tend to agree, I'm not convinced. Cowser had hand/nerve stuff and continued to play his game. Westburg broke his hand, came back, and looked good. Not sure why getting hit on the hand suddenly made Adley swing at trash out of the zone.

      Adley's health this season

      I hate that Adley getting hit on the hand is the excuse why he kept playing and his season went down the crapper, yet Italian Breakfast gets hit on the hand, breaks his thumb and works his ass off to get back to his team in time for the playoffs.    I’m a 50% believer that Adley getting hit on the hand is the reason that he was so bad towards the end of the season, but it still doesn’t explain the drop in OBP. He’s getting down to Adam Jones levels of on base percentage.  His approach seems to be totally different than when he first came up. A hurt hand doesn’t have anything to do with that.

      Adley's health this season

      By interloper · Posted

      I watched both the Elias and Hyde press conferences in full and they both get weird around the Adley question. You can feel the hesitation on saying it's not an injury, and the way they kind of squirm around the question. If we can point to the HBP then surely they can do and would have done MRIs if Adley still felt iffy after the x-ray. Unless he's truly hiding it. But it sure feels like all parties know about something and for some reason that makes no sense to me, they aren't divulging it.

      They might not even know. Initial x-rays were negative, it's possible that Adley thought he could just play through it and maybe it wasn't painful, just fatigued? Who knows. But unless Adley tells them (assuming they're not hiding it), nothing they can really do. Wonder if Adley just felt the All Star Break was coming up, so he'd just deal.  I think it's way too obvious of a data point to ignore, personally.

      One interesting thing is I think he homered later that game and it was his last for a while.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By interloper · Posted

      Roster-wise and money-availability-wise, yes, the Orioles are the best fit of the 30 teams.  Location-wise and track-record-of-spending-wise, not so much.  I kind of think SF is the team. Posey just meddled in the terrible signing of Chapman, as former player GMs often do, and I could see him going hard after a big signing and overpaying like hell for him.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By btdart20 · Posted

      Eflin, Grayson, and Kremer are ahead of Povich now.  Likely Suarez too.  Rogers is a dark horse that needs a new jockey or something. I doubt he's traded.  He could be optioned.  "When" we bring in another SP, his OD odds will change the most.
