Cedric actually has the second highest walk rate on the team (behind Adley). I am not opposed to him settling in a bit after his injury, but would like to see him higher in the lineup so he gets more ABs.

This is true, but his walk rate this year is a bit atypical for his career.

I really don't care either way.  You're probably right.

We should talk more about what a good player Cedric has become. Since 2021, only 21 position players have been more valuable per Fangraphs. He's ahead of guys like Devers, Guerrero Jr., Trout, Alonso,

Well, time to check out everyone's reaction to Mullins's great day today...

Since 2021 (26-28 yr), Mullins has slashed .273/.341/.459/.800 (122 OPS+) and has been worth 10.4 rWAR and fWAR. His defense this year has ben a little down from last year, but I think his numbers are

The last several pages are off topic and the conversation has turned sour. You’ve been around long enough to know better. I don’t know why you are stooping to the level. Please don’t buy in! 

I've since self-moderated, thanks for your suggestion.

I'm not concerned about where he bats in the order as long as his glove is in CF.  I think he slots just fine either in the top or middle of the order.  I think having him on base with some of the younger guys lower in the order batting (like Westburg or Cowser) can take some pressure off them, as well as open up holes in the infield due to holdig Ced on base.

No matter where he bats Mullins will be a problem for the other team.

Give me a break. It was a topical throw away line more to do with a current hit movie than anything historical. It certainly wasn’t meant to be a shot at Japanese people. This is downright silly. 

I didn't take it in anyway the way that you are framing it ass-u-ming. It was a cringe-worthy line simply because it was an officially paid Orioles broadcaster taunting a defeated opponent and this is right after Kevin is returning from a ludicrous suspension, to go along with another unnecessary twitter war between Seattle and Baltimore media personalities.

Try thinking about things a little farther before you jump down people's throat.

The amazing thing to me about Cedric’s homer is that he’d gone 3 for 20 (all singles) in his rehab assignment and then 0 for 9 in his at bats this weekend before uncorking the loud foul and the homer.   He hadn’t looked good at all at the plate this weekend prior to that at bat.

What a game for Cedric of course. The defense alone shows how much we've missed him out there and how special he really is in CF. 

It's been a tough year for him health wise, but he shows he can be game changing on either offense or defense at any moment.

When Cedric is playing at his best, the O’s are a great team.   Let’s hope he can stay healthy the rest of the way and be at the top of his game come playoff time.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.

      I don't see the O's trading Mullins without getting a replacement for him from somewhere.  It's doubtful we have anyone in the minors yet ready to step in for him.  Maybe the same for Urias since he's the perfect backup infielder.  I think Mateo and Mountcastle are more likely to be traded.

      You mean like how the Os dealt guys like Hays, Stowers and Norby?  Yea, guys who are good depth but guys we can stand to trade are guys I want to trade….and obviously Elias feels similarly. These guys carry value. The level of value depends on the player and you can debate the value of return but yes, you absolutely should trade out of depth and trade guys that perhaps that don’t match your team philosophies.  That’s what teams do.

      Who knows.  Lots of possibilities. There could be another trade like the Hays trade.  Or maybe you can get a ML ready arm that profiles as a high end reliever. I don’t think that you will get a proven lock down guy but that doesn’t mean you can’t get someone that will end up a big contributor.
