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

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.

But why are Snell's injuries bad and Santander's a non-factor?

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.  

Because money is an asset.  I tell you what, if it doesn't matte, why don't you give me all yours?

Everything is a risk.  I'm not advocating never take a risk.  Hell, trading Mancini was a risk.

I'm saying Snell is a bad risk imo.

What is his 16M next year going to stop you from doing?  They are looking at another really low payroll right now.  It doesn’t stop you from doing anything.

When did I say Santander's injuries are a non-factor?  I'll wait why you try to drum up the strawman you've been beating the hell out of.

You can say strawman as if you think that's some kind of argument-winner.  

You didn't say Santander's injuries are a non-factor, but you really didn't address them as a factor in discussing him.  You can't really overlook them, he's pretty fragile.  If you're going to knock Snell for the "5 innings a month" then you should probably be looking at Santander in the same light.

The only thing I said about Santander was if he stayed healthy and performing he'd be more valuable next year- which is addressing his injuries- and that he's worth more than Snell now- and according to the site cited above by owknows, I'm hardly out on a limb on that.

 

BTW, I used the term strawman because that's exactly what you were doing.

Ok..and the assets are plentiful even if you give him that money.  You don’t seem to be able to grasp that concept.  Snell stops nothing from happening.  You are going to have to pay for pitching anyway.  You have Lyles, a far worse pitcher, 10M.

Well, Lyles has been more valuable this year.  That whole availability thing is a pretty important ability.

But yeah, if you guarantee Snell 16 mil next year you could preclude yourself from signing next year's Lyles.  Assets, even if you deem them plentiful, are not unlimited.

20 mil for Snell's track record is not a particularly good bet.  It's why the Padres are basically giving him away.  And still haven't found a suitor.

Well we don’t know the Padres are trying to give him away.  It’s speculation, not fact. With the way he’s pitching, they may very well want to hold onto him.

And no, signing him doesn’t stop anything the Os would do.

      2024 Ravens regular season discussion

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Well I sort of disagree here. You said guys have been bad to questionable. I think that’s wrong. I just think a few guys have been awful and that has really hurt us. I would absolutely give Washington more time. Brade and Kane are well liked but doubtful they want to play them much right now. A trade should be considered if things don’t improve.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Yeah, I'd rather keep him over Soto.  I mean Soto can't start.  Yes Soto was dominant at times out of the bullpen but he was also gasoline on a fire out of the bullpen.  I would rather pay Suarez $4 or 5 million, knowing he can start or pitch in the bullpen than Soto, knowing he can only start and is liable to melt down when needed most.

      It is funny how much Hays (the pre-2024 version anyway) matches the type of player they'll likely look for. I doubt that reunion happens though.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Weird thing about Suarez is that MASN had this being a 2 year deal when they talked about him back in April. ”The Orioles made another smart move with Suárez by signing him to a two-year contract in September. They knew what they’d ask from him and how it could contradict, and they didn’t want to give him any reasons to resist.” https://www.masnsports.com/blog/another-look-at-how-suarez-came-to-the-orioles

      Outside Hamilton, I can't really think of any areas or invidivuals outside the line that have really stepped up.  Humphrey and Stephens have played okay but it certainly hasn't offset the complete zeroes that Eddie Jackson and Marcus Williams have been.  I don't think you want to pull Hamilton off SS even though he can handle deep zone assignments fine, because he's essentially a linebacker that can cover wide receivers and there's too much value in that in the box.  And I think that Roquan/Simpson look lost in pass coverage because the safeties behind them are playing like butt.  Besides Roquan wasn't ever really a great coverage safety, he was kind of okay at it but he was never like a Lavonte David or Fred Warner there.   I'm starting to wonder if we need to either trade for a FS and/or start giving Ardarius Washington more snaps.  He certainly doesn't look worse than Jackson/Williams at this point in his limited playing time.  In general i think safety is an undervalued position so we're likely to get good value in trade.
