   Hello Everyone !! I'm introducing myself to let you all know a little bit about me and my thoughts. My name is Brian and I'm from Cumberland, MD ( western, MD ) but I reside across the river now in West Virginia I'm 5' 8" and 180# with brown hair and blue eyes and I'm a 54 year old truck driver. ( whoops wrong forum ) lol...... I'm old school and I like the stats on the back of the baseball cards but I have learned they are best used now for a quick reference because of all the new analytical stats available however I'm still a big fan of OBP ( #1 ) and SLG... enough about me !!!  My thoughts on the direction of our beloved Orioles, the off season and what I think needs to happen for us to have a successful season.. With 8 players on the top 100 prospect list and all the young talent on 40 man roster our future looks great so I really like how Elias has built the system from the ground up. I'm just a little disappointed about liftoff so I wonder if Elias and ownership can take the next step... The talk was a top of the rotation pitcher and a middle of the order bat that would take professional abats from the left side. ( Carlos Rodon and JD Martinez ) I know Rodon was probably overpaid and Martinez had a down year but they are the types of player we should have been after and hopefully we can make a trade in season to fill our needs when we have a clearer picture...Of course we need all our young players to take another step forward to have a successful year but we need to have Hays and Mountcastle  breakout but my wildcard is Mateo and he has showed flashes of being a five tool player and that would make it easier to trade some middle infield depth for a TOP and middle of the order bat... Since I'm a optimist I think Henderson and Rodriguez will fight it out all year for ROY and we'll trade for Ohtani and win the WS and sign the later to a long term deal  :)

Welcome, PaychoBird!  I’ve been to Cumberland a few times.  Home town to Sam Perlozzo and Leo Mazzone, if I recall correctly.  

I was thinking the other day that we should have a thread for new posters to introduce themselves.   We all were newbies once.  I’d love to go back and see what my first post was.   Probably some comment about whether we should be chasing Ivan Rodriguez in the 2003-04 offseason!

Anyway, thanks for your thoughts and I hope we’ll keep hearing from you!

Thanks for the background, and welcome to at least three clubs you're now a part of: 

The Hangout.

Hangout posters who share the following sentiment, as you expressed it: "I'm just a little disappointed about liftoff so I wonder if Elias and ownership can take the next step... "  I'm definitely in that group.

Hangout posters who identify as optimists. I'm not one myself but frequently envy those who are.
