Gotta admit, it's pretty boring around here.  They could sign some other fringe AAAA player tomorrow and it would get another 30 pages.  

 

Now we need a 30 page thread debating the merits of Lewin Diaz vs O’Hearn.

No it doesn’t. Our need exists for a player who is good. He hasn’t had an OpS over 650 since 2018. Just because he stands in the left handed batters box, doesn’t mean he is fits a need.

Now that I have scrolled through 37 pages of takes to confirm that I didn't post mine, I'll say that I was overjoyed with this move when it was initially made.

Did they really need to send a Welcome to Birdland email to me  for this ridiculous transaction.

Lol at everyone who was penciling O'Hearn into the lineup as if we went out and signed this guy to a ML deal. Just a 40-man depth move with some extra cash attached to it. Glorified waiver claim. ST competition. 

30 pages about a depth move. @Moose Milligan was right on the over. 

Don’t crow too much. This may just be a cute way of having both players in the organization. 
 

This is exciting!!😃

Now let's cry about Lewin Diaz!!!!

You mean discuss thoroughly the merits of a players and then try and understand why the organization keeps spending time in the trash heap instead of acquiring impact players? 

I mean it's easy to just go, "Elias know everything so I shall just support anything he does and laugh at all who dare provide FACTS that would indicate he may not be flawless?"

This is a discussion board. If people don't like a move and show information on why, it's not crying. 

You would think after all the years of being here this would seep in, but no, you prefer to just sit in your orange bubble of goodness and attack anyone who dares to say something negative about a move.

Your act is old.

Wait, who penciled him into a lineup everyday? 

I know I just said if he's making $1.4 million it won't be at AAA. Other people were just figuring out where he would get hi PAs? You know, discussion board stuff. I don't recall you stating that he would be DFA'd soon for another player. Did I miss where you called that?

Why would you think this is something you should gloat about when no one said what you are saying and I don't recall you saying he would be DFA'd before the season. Maybe I missed something here.

Agreed.

 

Is that a "Win" for team or a "Loss"?  

It creates discussion!! It’s certainly not a loss. Haven’t lost anything. They can let Diaz go again the next time someone they like better pops up. Or of course release him if a trade happens etc. 

 

I feel bad for players like Diaz who get jerked around. Has to get old.

Y'all overreact so much. 

Guy is depth, there's like a 75% chance he gets DFA'd before we even get to spring training. Just like Diaz. And if not, he has an option. 

I don't see this guy as 26-man material and neither do the Orioles IMO. Cordero is a much better bet to crack the roster. 

@Tony-OHHere is where I said it was very likely he would get DFA'd. Just like any other depth guy at the end of the 40-man roster. He was never any different.

Holy smokes. They are going to pay him $1.4 million? 

Good Lord... 

Let's see the Optimists (is that an acceptable term) spin this one. 

This smells of Odor. He's a guy we think has no role on the team and ends up generally an everyday player while OPSing in the low .600.

This offseason just keeps getting worse and worse. Actually, its becoming quite embarrassing once again.

I'm sure the Orioles must have an exquisite one of kind evaluations system that has determined this guy will "bounce back". But

Hmmm.     Now what are we going to do, complain about the 4 catchers they claimed off of waivers back in October?   Wait!   Been there, done that.

Ok, you are right in that take. Did I say anywhere that you were not right in that take? I said he was not going to make that money in AAA. I was right, so I don't even understand why you running around gloating like you won some prize.

There was a lot of comments being made. I don't even remember what I was responding to, but I was making a point about guys who make money and whether they will be in major leagues or not.

I never once said O'Hearn is definitely going to be on opening day nor did I ever say he was going to be in the lineup everyday. Go back and find that because I know I neve said it.

Gheese, some of you make it your mission in life to try and find where I made a mistake. Trust me, I do make mistakes, but in this one, I was just trying to tell people that he was not going to be AAA depth making $1.4 million. 

I will guarantee you that is correct.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By 24fps · Posted

      I said that was the date reality (everybody gets serious) begins.  All the players actually available won't be determined until the teams on the bubble decide whether or not they are going to invest in the rest of the season.  With the current Wild Card setup, that doesn't happen until the last minute.

      You gave the arbitrary date of July 19th.

      So, who WOULD you trade?

      Probably a good call.

      I don't have a Baseball America subscription, but you are able to read an in depth analysis on Coby Nayo's batting metrics here https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/coby-mayo-jackson-holliday-headline-10-statcast-standouts/ Interesting stuff.   He looks like a guy we should consider holding onto.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By 24fps · Posted

      It's not the next 18 days, it's the next 30 days less the AS break, roughly 15% of the season.  My point is that a lot will change in the last two weeks before the trade deadline.  It's a little early to call a radical seller's market where Tanner Scott is the clear front-runner.

      What makes Basallo so untouchable?

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      Unnecessarily Socratic response, FRobby. There is no position more important to the Orioles right now than backup catcher as crazy as that sounds.  The incumbent is hurting the team with his bat.  Basallo will some day soon create a great split responsibility with Adley and another big bat at least vs RHP. 2B?  All eggs are in the Holliday basket, but if he can't stay healthy this year and Mateo falls off as in the past, 2 great backup options exist 1) Norby or 2) Westburg moves back to 2B and Mayo is promoted to play 3B. CF? Of all CFs in the game I'd trade him for Judge (if I could be sure the contract would not screw up the chance to sign Gunnar) and I'd trade him even up for Jackson Merrill who is 21, from Baltimore area, and hitting well for the Padres, but is another LHB.  I wouldn't trade him for Duran, for example, who is 2nd in WAR among CFs at 1.4, has good OPS, but is approaching age 28 despite 4 years of team control.  No way I trade him for Robert as I have detailed elsewhere.  I think the Orioles are better off for now, using some combination of Cowser, Mullins, and Hays in CF rather than trading Basallo for anyone else not named above that comes with a significant price tag. Corner OF spots, DH, 1B are jammed now with players/prospects who can hit (Cowser, Kjerstad, Mountcastle, Santander, O'Hearn, Stowers).  No additions needed. 3B?  Westburg is having a great year and Mayo is ready and should be promoted which puts pressure either on 3B to move Westy to 2nd or the already jammed corner OF/1B/DH group, but he is a much-needed RHB.

      I think you have to add Grayson to this list.
