How's Santander going to be more valuable next year?  And how is Mullins more valuable this year than last year when he's not nearly as good?  

How is the fact that players are replaceable not a reason to trade them?  I have so many questions here.

Go look at the trade value thread that was just on the board.  Mullins is seen as more valuable now as oppossed to last August because he's fully established himself as an above average Ml CFer.

If Santander could do the same in regards to be a COF, and maintain health and performance anonther 12 months, he'll definitely have more value next year, and he still wouldn't be considered a rental.

Because I could replace my car today.  It doesn't mean I have to.  Is that really a difficult concept to grasp?

How exactly is replacing Tate with Hall and Santander with Stowers punting the season? I'd much rather have Hall out there than Tate and Santander isn't anything special. My guess is that Ad

Aside from the known volatility of relief pitcher performance from year to year?

I'm not. Just like I'm not sure Santander isn't going to put up a negative WAR the rest of the season. You don't take a 2% chance to make the playoffs and base decisions around it.  Santande

Maybe you should replace your car today.  It'd get you away from making posts on here for a few hours.

Mullins is seen as having more value by the fangraphs nerds.  That doesn’t mean it’s reality (btw, I think his value is high but that fangraphs article means nothing in the real world)

Well, no, but ironically you agree with it.  And so do I.  That doesn't make it an indisputable fact of course.

He is a guy saying no to Snell partly because of durability and yet he tbh not Santander is someone to hang onto even though he has as bad, if not worse, durability issues.  I don’t think logic is part of this.  
 

He likes AS.  Ok.   But rationally, no GM(if budget wasn’t easy), would turn down AS for Snell if they had our prospects and long term outlook between the OF and pitching.

Yeah, you can't prop up durability issues for one player and ignore the other player's issues.  If @Picklescontinues to ignore that, then he's not interested in having an honest conversation.

I like Santander, too.  As someone who's historically hated the Orioles kinky obsession with Rule 5 guys with a passion, he's an exception.  But he's not a core guy, I'm not sure why anyone would think that he is.

You're not factoring in a few things.  Like the 20 million owed to Snell over the next 14 months.  And the fact that Santander has an extra year of team control.

The money is a huge part of this.

I'm not doing that at all.  I have at no point said Santander the greatest most durable thing ever.

I've pointed Snell makes a lot of money and is injured all the time.  That doesn't reflect on Santader.

Why does the money matter?  The Os have no money on the books.  Snell is owed peanuts compared to his upside and even if he is just a 2ish WAR guy, he’s still fine.  

If he pitches 70 innings, sure it’s too much but again, so what?  Risks will have to be taken.

      I disagree Mayo is one of the reasons the Orioles have not hit well.  Emmanuel Rivera, who has hit well with an .879 OPS since he joined the O's, has gotten the playing time over Mayo.

      I was sort taking that as a fait accompli. Signing expensive long-term free agent deals for one dimensional sluggers heading into their 30s definitely does not seem like Elias's style, especially when an extra high draft pick (and accompanying extra bonus pool money) is the reward for not doing so.

      The Defense Thread, 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      Game 153, Sept. 19 Lots of notable defensive plays today.   Kjerstad made two excellent catches, one going back and towards the RCF alley that (per Kevin Brown) was a 50% probability catch, and another going back to the wall near the corner and making the catch at close to full speed.   Holliday snared a line drive at the top of his leap, and also made a nice backhand running catch of a soft fly into medium RF. Mullins made a diving catch in the 7th on a sinking liner that he got a great jump on.   In the 9th, with runners on 1st and 2nd, Heliot hit a liner in the RCF gap that carried much further than it first appeared it would.   Mullins and Slater dove for it simultaneously and Slater actually gloved it for a second before it popped out while Slater landed on Mullins.  Luckily, the two base runners totally misread the play, and after Slater quickly scrambled to his feet and threw the ball in, the runner originally on 2B scored but the runner on 1st only advanced to 2B, and the batter had to stop at first.  The O’s were able to keep any further runs from scoring. One thing I’ve noticed about Manny Rivera is that he’s very slow charging bunts and slow rollers/choppers. He handled one bunt and one chopper in front of him today and both times the runner beat his throw rather easily, something that has happened a lot when Rivera has manned 3B.   I’m more than ready to have Urias -and/or Westburg back at the hot corner.

      Don’t know what happened to him on here but I did meet him and some others from The Sun forums at the park on Matt Wieters first game as an Oriole. If I recall correctly his name was Patrick.  He seemed like a good dude but he did have his face painted and was wearing those big hulk hands…which did strike me as a little odd for a grown man but to each his own.

      Is it just me or did they sound the HR / walk-off siren before the ball actually went out?
