That would be interesting, and I’m guessing neither party would ultimately do that deal.
 

The only thing that concerns me about a contract longer than 10 years is that he already has minor back issues. 

As the present ownership stands in a kind of limbo, I just don’t see them signing any contracts in that range.  We just have to hope that we have new ownership in 2-3 years before these good young players hit free agency.

This is awkward, but are we married to the same woman?

He looks fine at the plate and even though he isn’t hitting lefties yet, he doesn’t look overmatched. He is hanging in there well. He has a 214 BABiP despite an exit velo at 85%. Last thing

Impressive!  And I'm glad she's in Gunnar's corner with that track record!

Or trade him in 3 years for the potentially greatest haul ever.  Imagine what ME could get for him.

 

 

i would rather sign him and make him an Oriole for life or most of his career.  If he stays healthy I think he will be statue worthy.

Keep this party going to 10-12 years.

 

It's not likely the O's come out ahead in that kind of deal. That's something you do because you feel like you need to, not because you want to.

Whoever you trade him for, you would only have to hope can be as good. Usually you don’t find many replacements for “special” (which he looks to be). Even the cheap Rays know that.

I don't care what the splits say...there's no way I am intentionally walking Hays to get to Henderson right now, even with the left-on-left matchup. 

That was crazy.  Hays is like 0 for his last 16 and had a sub-.500 OPS in July.  Overall, I am not impressed with John Schneider.  His decision to leave that pitcher who walked three straight batters in to face Santander also was moronic.

Gunnar is now at 3.3 rWAR, one game short of the 2/3 mark of the season.  He easily could top 5 rWAR the way he’s played the last two months.  

fWAR doesn’t like him quite as well.  He’s only at 2.6 fWAR so he’s on pace for about 4 fWAR.  Still, not too shabby.  

And, he’s just getting better all the time it seems, both offensively and defensively.

Moronic decisions but I was pleased with them.  Walking Hays was hilarious.

Schneider is the worst Manager in the East followed by Boone.

Gunnar had a huge June, but did so by getting more aggressive and still retaining some swing and miss - he had a 5.1 BB% and 30.4 K%. He was so passive earlier in the year that he was getting pitches to hit and he clobbered them. 

In July, seems like pitchers adjusted and Gunnar did as well. He was back up to a 9.9 BB% and all the way down to a 19.8 K%. 

If Gunnar continues improving against LHP and settles in as a 10 BB%, 20 K% guy, he’s going to be a perennial MVP candidate. With his defense, power and hard hit rates that’s an insanely productive combination without many weaknesses.

Not a bad idea, but I'm sure Boras would INSIST on an opt out.

Yeah, so.  If he opts out that means the Orioles likely will have gotten the better part of the deal.  Let him go when he opts out.  I used to hate opt outs, but now I generally like them if it is what it takes to get the deal done.

      Basallo for Crochet?

      No earthly way I trade 6 years of a top 20 prospect, catcher or first base, for 2.5 years of a guy who has made 17 major league starts.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I never said that and do not believe any of that as Rubenstein didn't even have control of the franchise at that time. And you better believe that if it was still in Angelos hands he would not allow Rubenstein much of any input until ALL of the risk/liability was transferred to Rubenstein. I love your use of the word "methodical" there to describe John Angelos. I have some of other words for it - cheap, miserish, greedy, moneygrubbing, tightwad, terrible, awful ... just to name a few...lol

      I think the vast majority of people think that playoffs in any professional sport is a crap shoot. I also don't think you'll find anyone on this board that doesn't want to make any additions to this roster. I just take issue with an argument that says there is no way the Orioles could win the WS with their pitching staff. That's over the top and hyperbolic. Just over the past few years, there have been teams that won the WS with pitching staffs that were as good or worse that the Orioles.  '21 Braves starters 3.84, BP 3.97 '19 Nats 3.53, 5.68 '18 Red Sox 3.77, 3.72 '17 Astros 4.03, 4.27 '15 Royals 4.34, 2.72 '13 Red Sox 3.84, 3.70

      Gunnar vs. Coby Mayo at the same place in time

      That's the problem with using your top draft choices to draft the best player available: you can end up with an imbalance that makes it difficult to use all the talent you've got. You can reduce the problem by drafting shortstops, many of whom can move to the right along the defensive spectrum, but they can't all do that. And they can't pitch. You can fix an imbalance of talent by trading talented guys who are likely to be blocked by other, more talented guys. But if you're not willing to do that . . .

      Yup, he's definitely in the same class.

      You yourself admit that we need some acquisitions. That means that you agree that the team currently is inadequate. So, inadequate for what? I never said we wouldn’t make the playoffs, I said we would “slowly sink.” that’s neither an overreaction, nor certainly not ridiculous. Let me explain what I mean by “slowly sink.” I don’t think we will continue our same winning percentage, I don’t think we will win 100 games, and I don’t think we will win the division. That’s what I meant. If you disagree with those concerns, then you also think we don’t need to make any acquisitions, because you think we’re going to win as many games whether we do or don’t. But I doubt you disagree with them. Instead I think you probably don’t worry about them because even if all those things happen, we can still make the playoffs, and that’s fine, I agree with that I have no desire to be contentious. But those worries are certainly not ridiculous.

      In a Divisional Series if we played the Mariners and Burnes pitches games 1 and 4 and Rodriguez pitches games 2 and 5 you would really take the Mariners who are scoring 3.9 runs a game and have an 8 run differential versus the Orioles who score 5.0 runs a game and have an 108 run differential because their third and fourth starters are better than the Orioles?  This is why I say the only thing coming unglued is the general sentiment on this message board.  I think we would heavy favorites against the Mariners in a 5 or 7 game series.
