Which is why he should be playing there everyday. Get him the reps he needs to be adequate then he's the 1B next year.

I disagree with the font size.

I was at the game tonight and not only did he hit that mammoth blast, he made several nice defensive plays including one coming in with a strong off balance throw to first to get the runner.

Mayo or Cowser?

1 hour ago, LTO's said:

1. Holliday

2. Mayo

3. Kjerstad 

4. Cowser

Of those 4, I'd go with:  Holliday, Cowser, Mayo, Kjerstad.  I'd have Mayo higher, but I really buy the hit tool of Cowser.

The top 3 are priced out of the market IMO.  No disrespect to Kjerstad, I'd also put Ortiz ahead of Kjerstad too.

Some people jumped off the Mayo wagon last year and some were slow to get on his wagon nationally. Even around here, there were doubters who mentioned things like an inability to hit low pitches and his lackluster stats at Bowie last year (At 20!!). 

Now is he on a heater who did something just click? The only way we'll know is over time, but it's pretty clear that at 21-years old, he's become a very, very good prospect and my mind, is a MOO prospect who will end up a very good defensive 1st baseman but who could play 3B now if needed (clearly not a need for the Orioles right now unless trades happen).

The only concern for me was the K%.  That can be hard for a power guy his height/long levers to get in check.  But like you said, he was 20!  Age 21 in AA has answered a ton of questions!  Stature-wise, he reminds me of Jim Thome.  I'm still on the MOO wagon!

Like you, I have been aggressive with my personal Mayo ranking with relation to everyone else.

With Holiday being #1 and assuming GRod isn’t eligible anymore, who is your #2 right now…Mayo or Cowser?  Is there anyone else for you in consideration for the top 3?

I think right now they are the two guys with the most upside outside of Holliday. Basallo could be another guy with that kind of upside. Westburg, Kjerstad and Ortiz are a slight notch below, but very good prospects that each have very good upsides.

Kjerstad over Cowser is a really interesting debate.  Cowser likely has the edge because of defense but I think it’s worthy of a discussion.

I think the defense is heavily in favor of Cowser which gives him the edge for me. Plus it's not like Cowser's bat is below Kjerstad.

No one should be untouchable but Mayo should be in the group with Holliday as a piece that is highly unlikely to be traded and likely no one available is worth giving him up for.

I don't know. If there really is to be a trade (or two) for a solid starter and reliever, the O's might need to part with players we really don't want to lose. Holliday is the only one I consider untouchable in our system.

The Os have plenty to trade without moving those types of guys.

We shall see. Sometimes you have to trade value to get value. If the O's want needle movers they may need to trade somebody that makes us all wince.

They have plenty of trade to get needle movers.

They aren’t the best system in baseball because of 1 or 2 guys.

OK then... tell me trades that will net us one needle mover for the rotation and one for the bullpen. Not fringe, but real difference makers

Well I’m not sure how many real difference makers will be available this deadline. 
 

But even if there are, the Os have plenty of ways to acquire them.

Fair enough. I hope you're right.

I have a feeling that there will be many teams looking to acquire needle movers. And I'm afraid that Elias is going to have to trade players we really don't want to see him trade. Mayo is one of those players.

      Yea.  I feel the same way.  I really do not care strongly one way or another.  Sure, I think it's kind of ugly.  I also think HR's came pretty cheap before.  I like the exciting defensive plays it fosters and of course the random triple & odd carom make for some fun and unique moments.  But I don't think it helps or hurts the team in any substantial way short of helping out the pitching a little.   I sure don't think the players are changing their approaches.  If they keep it as is, that's fine with me.  If they modify it some way, that's fine with me as well.  It does seem like there is some opportunity for some unique seats down there by modifying it slightly.  When I first saw it, it almost appeared like a construction Phase 1.  That might be reasoning for pushing it back so far, allows them some flexibility in the future.   I also don't buy that a Free Agent RH hitter is going to care at all about the wall.   They are getting paid regardless.  I'd think that 1-maximizing payday 2-playing for a winner 3-finding a location that suits your family would be your priorities and your long-term stat line would be very close to the bottom of your list of concerns.

      Any updates on the renovations to OPACY?

      By SteveA · Posted

      Yeah but if you think most of this money is going to upgrade things that are wrong or need improving, such as the ones @accinfo lists, I think you'll be disappointed.   They will be for new features, each one designed to create revenue via premium seating or premium "experience" areas or attractions that bring non baseball fans to the park to spend or sports betting related things. I'm not saying they won't fix some basic things that need it like upgrading the sound system or improving the point of sale technology.   I'm sure they will.   But the focus is going to be on the new attractions which are all designed with revenue enhancement in mind.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      I’m not a lawyer … perhaps @Frobbymight know. Loss of income, future revenues? Damage to their franchise….Even with MASN the Orioles lost a ton on annual tv revenues

      2024 Week 5: Ravens @ Bengals

      By Aglets · Posted

      Congrats to the offense on playing a heck of a game. Lamar was incredible to watch, especially the play when the snap ended up on the ground and he had to run away towards the sideline and still found Likely for the score. It's very frustrating to me that the offense HAD to play so well because of the poor coaching and abysmal defensive play.  It's odd to me that Harbaugh still messes up timeout usage after being a coach in the league for over 15 years.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By CP0861 · Posted

      I have a 3 hour round trip to get to games. I can't speak about other directions, but the stadium is very easy to get to from the south...some more traffic with the earlier start times, but overall - games are VERY easy to get to, imo. You don't have the hike through the city to get to games. I'm a rural guy, and it's really not a big deal. We took the light rail from Cromwell for Game 1 (I usually park in BC or FGH) and it was a breeze. We walked out right after the game, and we immediately caught a direct bus that took us back to Cromwell directly. We did the same thing last year. I gotta be honest - I think the "they've been horrible for half the season" reasoning is pretty lame. Even when they were down (and dealing with significant injuries) after the AS break, they were still essentially a lock to make the playoffs. Then they get healthy-ish with some key guys back riiiiight before the playoffs and look great for a couple of series - but I guess it was too late for everyone?  Come on.  Just say you didn't feel like it. But don't blame August play for not showing up in October.
