Don't know who this is... 

Jack Rose is someone who makes up tweets trying to get people to repost them on message boards in order to gain followers.

According to him, we're in on Jameson Taillon, Carlos Correa, Carlos Rodon, Xander Bogaerts, Brian Reynolds. All of them. Also tweeted "Words from Executives around the industry “Huge Overpay” in regards to signing Kyle Gibson. Yes, I'm sure that is what baseball executives are focusing in on right now. A $10 million contract.

Why?  It’s the truth.  Anyone paying attention can see the O’s are in a position to compete for the next several years at a minimum.  I think most players and their agents are pretty sophisticated abo

MLB has a measure of market size called the Revenue Sharing Market Score, that they use to determine the ten smallest markets eligible for extra draft picks.  The O’s rank 21st on that list.  If it’s

This Trea Turner report is another bit of evidence I think the Snell window is over.     Manaea and Clevinger did their Kyle Gibson-Jordan Lyles type jobs, but are now off roster.

Preller is committed to his Machado-Soto teams, and it'll just start irritating Hall of Fame players if they start doing the Milwaukee stuff (oh, Hunter Renfroe and Kolten Wong - you're good but not good enough to pay next year) to hollow out the roster.    Its math other players likely can produce better $$$/WAR, but I do feel choices like that start eating into any goodwill that exists between you and your linchpins.

If anything this report makes me want to start composing Tatis trade offers.

Every off-season during which the O's are thought to be a player in the hot stove, there's this guy:

1. Man, wouldn't this guy be a good fit

2. Orioles have checked in on this guy, sure ok, due diligence

3. There's no way it happens, so many other teams are involved, we'd never pony up the cash

4. Wait.. but rumors start to swirl about the Orioles being an actual finalist as the deal nears!

5. People get their hopes up.....

6. Orioles do not sign this player

 

Rodon is that guy this year. Last year it was Correa.

Why is it stupid?  He wants other teams thinking the Orioles are in on his players.  

Because it's nonsensical.  First, Orioles aren't a bird of prey.  Secondly, what in the hell does "feather up" mean?

It just sounds like something an 11 year old would say thinking they're being clever.

Also grammatically incorrect, or at least sloppy. "The Orioles are birds of prey" would be cleaner.

To be fair, I think he is playing up the fact that orioles are not actually predators to make it more noteworthy that the Orioles are apparently blowing up his phone. "Feathered up" is weird no matter how you slice it.

Honestly, I can see some eleven year old playing video games and saying something like that: "I'm going to feather up all over you."  LOL.

It's just stupid.  And it's really stupid because they guy who said it is worth almost half a billion dollars.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      All of what you posted is why you have to take both dWAR and fWAR with a grain of salt when it comes to valuing defense.  OAA strictly gives you how good a player is at his position vs other players at his position. There is no guessing involved. Now could OAA receive some tweaking, especially with infielders, I think so. I don't think OAA is perfect by any means, but let's say Santana did save his team 12 runs and let's say a SS was at 0 runs saved. Why should he be penalized for playing a less stressful position? In the end he did save runs vs a SS that didn't save or lose runs. I guess in the end you look at all the defensive metrics (OAA, dWAR, DRS) and then make your opinion based off them. I also use my scouting eye and watching most of the games, I'd say Cowser is an above average defensive outfielder with plus arm strength and way below average accuracy.

      A well-kept secret: the O’s rotation has the 6th best ERA in baseball

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Burnes and Eflin were fantastic keeping the team moving forward in a year Felix, Bradish and Grayson were mostly gone. It is fuzzy for me if you combine Elias' team's results in the cases of Albert Suarez and Trevor Rogers if that's a good job or a bad job. Some talk about people like Pivetta, but I don't see a ton of April/May/June demand.     Eflin, Grayson, Kremer, Povich and Suarez leave Rogers, McDermott and Young 6/7/8 already.    Are those guys ever going to pitch? Povich and Suarez showed enough in September it seems worth it to see April. We rarely see a decision Elias doesn't like to defer, and the first half of 2025 will give information how the roster needs to be managed.    How strong is Felix?    What setbacks do Bradish and Wells have?    Can Grayson hold up more than 2 straight months? Elias is building a body of work he'll win the bids for Corbin Burnes and Zach Eflin when necessary, but I don't think this winter is one of those times.

      Lugo is pretty underrated honestly.

      OAA and dWAR are two measure that people use to determine if a player is a good defensive player or not. They absolutely can be mentioned when talking defense. They both measure the defensive ability of a player, though they do it differently. Acting like it some kind of horror to mention them together is one of the more ridiculous stances I've ever seen you take here.  NOBODY said they measure the exact same thing and the EXACT same way, but they absolutely are two measures people use to determine if a player is good defensively.  OAA shows Cowser to be a well above average defensive outfielder while dWAR shows Cowser to be more average. I think OAA in this case absolutely is a better indicator of Cowser's defensive ability.

      Cowser has not exactly been great down the stretch this year. That WPA is from his unclutchness.  Saying that, Gil has not exactly been a world beater his last two months of the season either. Gil also gets the New York bonus from some in the media so I still think he'll get the nod. But maybe Cowser can pull it off despite the K's and unclutchness.

      1. It's not too hard to cherry pick guys who had success in hindsight. The problem is picking those guys in advance. Not sure what your point is here. Yes, it would suck losing to a pitcher like Lugo but maybe Danny Coulombe gets some big outs or Ramon Urias is the series MVP.  2. Last year we choked. Hope it's different this year. Also let's not forget the opponent matters. Sometimes you run into a buzzsaw, it happens.  3. We have all the pieces necessary to win a championship but there are 11 other teams and it's hard to win the WS. Yes, we have weaknesses. If I had to guess, we will beat KC but fall short of the championship. Whatever happens, go O's.

      Who sits for Slater in Game One?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Can't see them sitting Cowser. He hasn't sat much against lefties all year.
