I've liked Westburg since seeing him here at Delmarva...do it's an obvious "no" from me for trading him right now. There's still quite a bit more in his bat that is coming.

 

Jackson Holliday will either be in Baltimore out of Spring training, or a late season call up. Elias is way too smart to throw away a chance for a ROY draft pick

I want Jordan Westburg on this team.

He has a WAR of around 1 in less than 1/3 of a season worth of playing time....even with his best tool (power) not even taking off yet.  Westburg will be a 3-6 WAR player for the next decade...trading

Having 4 studs (Gunnar, Holliday, Westburg, and Ortiz) for 3 infield spots is the perfect scenario.  Guys get hurt, need days off, and can rotate DH days as well.

Management does like that left handed bat at second base.  The O's have done very well with their flexibility in matching batters to pitchers with in- game substitutions.  I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that they keep Frazier next year. 

There are 8 million reasons why Frazier will not be an Oriole next season.

I know this is about Westburg trade value but I would trade Holliday/Santander for Corbin Carroll. 
 

Gunnar-SS

Westburg-2B

Mayo/Urias-3B

Mounty/Ohearn-1B

Ortiz-UTIL

LF-Hays

CF-Ced

RF-Carroll

Kjerstad fills in where needed. 
 

Adley/McCann-C

That dog will hunt.

If you hold your breathe until this trade happens you will pass out.

I hope they keep him. I think the players to trade are the ones in arbitration right now that have a player right behind them. Santander, Mullins, Hays…one of these guys should be traded plus Mateo should be DFA or traded if anyone wants him. Keep Urias for one more year until Holliday is ready and then move him as well. Money saved from trading a couple arb-eligible pieces should make up for the increase in arb-eligible salaries of whoever is retained and then hopefully an actually good SP can be signed with whatever is left over. 
 

All of that to say, Westburg is cheap, controlled for a while, proven to be able to handle the majors…exactly the type of player I hope they keep. There’s other moves that can be made to improve the club. 

Agree with this.  Westburg seems to be exactly the kind of versatile guy they target in waiver acquisitions and trades...  like Mateo and Urias.  Why would they trade a guy who we control for longer than any of those players and, other than speed like Mateo, has very similar skills AND might become a better hitter?  I think that it would stand to reason that we would stick more with a guy we selected as a first rounder than to trade him off just to resign guys who have essentially the same role for more pay.

But I disagree about DFA'ing Mateo.  I think they value Mateo over Urias just because of his speed.  I prefer Urias, anyway, but Mateo has some trade value because other teams probably value his speed and versatility as we do.

There's no chance AZ would do that trade

Only one of those plays 1B and he’s having an outlier season. 

I think Santander is dealt this offseason. O’Hearn isn’t going anywhere. This could be sell high on Mountcastle time as well. 
 

We have to trade some surplus…..If the plan is to be thrifty and deal early this is the most likely.

What if Westburg could be Hays replacement in the OF?

I think if they felt Westburg could play in the OF, they would have by now.

But if they feel this way, maybe he could play a super UTI role and get enough at bats..my question would be, is that role more valuable than what he brings back in trade?

      Anthony Santander 2024

      By drjohnnyfever1 · Posted

      Are there any other qualifications other than signing a contract for 50+M?  A contract of that value spread over 3-4 years would give him a raise and make other teams give some consideration to sign him.  I think that's the only way a QO would work for him.  But I don't think they put him in jeopardy - altho the Orioles could match an offer, I suppose.  I think they value him pretty highly even if he won't command top money.

      Keith Law has O's taking Tommy White at #22 in latest mock draft

      By ChosenOne21 · Posted

      I did say "unlikely" before "no matter what." Now that I re-read that though, it's kind of a bizarre sentence so I can see why you interpreted it that way. Of course there's a shot a player taken at 1-22 succeeds. Elias is certainly above average at drafting, possibly well above average, but the odds are still against him here, as they are for pretty much any individual pick he makes. I'm not trying to knock Elias here, just stating the fact that the vast majority of players selected in the back of the first round don't turn into solid regulars and so you shouldn't pass up someone you think is more likely to succeed here to draft "for need." I'm certain someone who will be available at this pick will have an incredible major league career. The odds are against it being whoever we draft though. That's just math.

      I used to think we had a plethora of outfielders ready to replace the current guys, but not I'm not sure. Cowser is one. Does the FO trust Stowers? Heston is another as far as his bat goes, but how bad is the defense if you have Stowers, Cowser and Heston? How long before Bradfield is ready? Will Norby or Mayo move to the OF? Does that make it any better. If Santander has his typical year, I would give him the QO. So what if you have to pay him large for one year? It's not like our payroll is high right now.

      Colton Cowser 2024

      By Explosivo · Posted

      Or maybe he just is hesitant because he knows it’s best to give up a single than letting it get by you for a triple or inside the park homerun. I highly doubt Cowser gives a crap about WAR. There is nothing in the guy’s demeanor, personality, or anything that suggests he chases stats and places himself above the team. To say otherwise is quite ridiculous at best, and malicious at worst. He is a rookie and he will get more comfortable as he plays. With that comfortability will come trusting his ability more and more. Why even suggest a thing like you are suggesting? Just pathetic quite frankly on your part.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By RZNJ · Posted

      On the spot?  Maybe.   Even at full health, people would have accepted not winning the division because of the pace the Yankees are on.   We have a comfortable lead for the WC so if the Orioles can continue winning at a reasonable pace with Burnes/GRod/Kremer/Irvin/Povich/Suarez.   As far as the playoffs go, there’s only a few starters that inspire confidence in a playoff series that will be available.   Elias isn’t trading Holliday, Basallo, or Mayo.  He just isn’t.   He can get relievers without giving up top prospects.  The question is, can he get someone like Crochet without giving up those top 3?   Crochet, despite innings concerns, gives you a playoff starter plus someone who’ll be here after Burnes is gone. However, Crochet is an A.J. Preller type of move, not an Elias type of move.   If Povich looks the part of a ML starter AND no more starters go down, I could see Elias standing pat on the starters and fortifying the back end of the bullpen.

      If a team that loses a qualifying free agent does not receive revenue sharing and did exceed the luxury-tax salary threshold the previous season, it is awarded a compensatory pick after the fourth round. San Diego Padres Compensation for Josh Hader. The Astros forfeited their second-round pick for signing Hader. San Diego Padres Compensation for Blake Snell. The Giants forfeited their third-round pick for signing Snell. Toronto Blue Jays Compensation for Matt Chapman. The Giants forfeited their second-round pick for signing Chapman.
