I think if that lineup ever happened, 2026 is more likely. For OD 2024 you're talking about eight guys who aren't currently MLB starters establishing themselves as MLB starters over the next ~14 months. 

Relatedly, this was an interesting image on Reddit showing each team's current home-grownness. KC had the highest, being their whole starting lineup except Michael A Taylor. But most teams seem to be between 1/3 and 1/2 homegrown in the starting lineup.

If the Orioles do this they have failed and people still don't understand the Tampa model is about getting talent wherever possible and not living some all homegrown lineup pipe dream.

If we do imagine the all homegrown dream there's a much more realistic version that keeps Mullins, Hays, and Mountcastle. One reason the OP lineup wouldn't happen is that if Mullins, Hays, Mountcastle, Santander, Mateo, and Urias are all off the team in '24, you better have gotten some MLB pieces back in those trades!

I think Vavra ends up as an offensive minded utility piece, Ortiz is a defensive minded utility piece, at least one of Mullins, Hays, and Mountcastle sticks around…if not all three. 2B could be any current infield prospect not named Henderson. I could even see Mateo sticking around.

1. You forgot free agents, all homegrown world series teams don't exist. 

 

2. They aren't just going to yeet Mullins, Hayes, and Mountcastle in the next year and half. Not only would it piss fans off but it would be stupid. 

3. Again for the people in the back. NOT EVERY PROSPECT PANS OUT

1. I didn’t forget

2. Piss people off?  Like trading fan favorite Trey Mancini and the all-star closer while the team is a couple of games out of a wildcard?   Yeah, I see your point.

3. We know.  Lighten up Leroy.

All I said in the op was that the odds were against anything like this but it was possible.  Just having a little fun but some nerds on here take things a little too serious, including yourself.

      Naoyuki Uwasawa Offer Being Prepared?

      Wait, don't drag me into your fight.  remember not being thrilled with the O'Hearn signing because I thought the cost of a guy who was going to be AAA depth at #1.3 million was unnecessary. I do also remember saying that he did have some analytics that suggested he'll be better without the shift. Let's remember though, I thought Stowers was going to be a semi-regular between RF/LF/DH and not buried like they did early in the season last year.  I don't remember anyone thinking O'Hearn was going to have the year he ended up having.

      O's were interested in Nola

      I hope it was meant by a joke, but who knows?  You gotta think that for Elias to maintain the respect of his peers that he doesn't even make offers he knows are laughable.  The sad part is that Koby Perez might be able, and has been able, to authorize more money to "free agents" than Elias.

      Say what you want about some of his International signings, he did sign Wei Yin Chen to a great deal!  I do think the current staff have more analytics to evaluate the talent on than Duquette's staff did so does make me feel a little better. Then again they thought they could fix Fuji too.

      What ridiculous comment? And you used OHearn as an example as how people don’t truly understand what Elias is doing. If you don’t understand something, you are clueless as to what is happening.  Tony was the largest voice against that signing. So, if you are saying that ohearn is an example of people not understanding, you are saying those who spoke out against that signing (and btw, you certainly weren’t excited about it) don’t understand what’s going on.

      Orioles 2023 51-75 Prospects

      Considering Bradish came over in the trade, anything else that comes out of the Bundy trade is the proverbial icing on the cake. Stallings BTW came over with Jean Pinto for Alex Cobb, not the Bundy deal. He's one of the weirder pitching prospects I've seen in some time. He's about as Jekyll and Hyde as it gets from start to start sometimes. I do wonder if a move to the pen would benefit him though. He had a start on Sept 7th against the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp that probably got him on the list, even if it's way down at the end. He was quite impressive that day missing bats with a variety of pitches and I believe he hit 95 MPH in that game (94.7).  Strangely, while Peek has much better command and gives off Spencer Watkins vibes, Stallings to me may have a better chance of becoming someone of value in a relief role.

      Lol, so nowhere even close to the ballpark of the 7/$172M that he got. I don't know whether to be happy that we made a bid or embarrassed that it was so far off.
