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.

Why?

The players that provide minimal value/upside (Frazier, Urias, Mateo) are the first to go.

I think this is right. The O's replace Frazier's left handed bat with Holliday and Mateo & Urias with Oritiz & Norby. Mountcastle gets replaced (when he's ready) with Mayo.

I don't think there is a logjam in Elias' mind.

Is Westburg a proton and Ortiz an electron?

How can they not coexist?  Especially with Gunnar and Jackson being lefties...

Gunnar and Holliday are going to be 155+ game players..ie true everyday guys.

Only one can play second.

In theory, they have a lot of value as a piece in a trade. So, to keep one of them for a part time role is probably not getting true value out of either player.

You can use Urias for that role.

Let's circle back in April.

Maybe this is the wrong place, but anyone know why Wesrburg was replaced by Frazier in the 7th? It's definitely not a defensive replacement 

I didn’t like the move. They had big lead at the time 12-6, (7th inning). Westburg is a better defender and was having a big night offensively after not exactly tearing the cover off the ball until this past week. 

Felt like Hyde was “getting Frazier into a game” he thought was won. But who knows?

That's what I thought. Westburg had a chance to hit for the cycle too.

Don't know.   Unless Westburg is nicked up or was experiencing some discomfort or something after his last at bat,  it didn't make any sense to me.  Other than the 'let's show vets respect by letting them play over more talented players' thing that Hyde seems to love.  Otherwise I'd much rather have Westburg playing defense than Frazier.

      There is just no way Hyde is going to PH a lefty for a lefty when you have your #9 hitter RHB coming up. If Cedric sucks so bad that you PH another lefty then he really has no business being in the lineup at all. We may be approaching that point soon but we're not there yet.

      I get where you are coming from but disagree.    You had 2 viable bench bats in Mountcastle and to a lesser extent Stowers. Mountcastle was there to hit if he could tie it.    You can’t compare Mateo and Mullins offensively the last couple of years.

      It’ll be curious to see what happens.  I see a guy that can’t throw strikes and when he does he gets hammered with meh stuff.  A 4.5 era 1.44 whip guy with significantly less Ks than IP is a dime a dozen in MLB.

      I get that and normally I'm in favor of playing the matchup game.   But Ced's terrible go of it lately negates that lefty .825 OPS against Munoz for me in that situation.  I'd have been alright with Mountcastle trying to catch a hold of one there instead...at least I think Mounty would have at a better chance to draw a walk and get on for Gunnar.  IMO, getting a runner on for Gunnar was the most important part of that inning, especially if you're going to prop up the .825 OPS Munoz has against lefties.  If getting a runner on was the most important thing, then I don't want the weakest hitter on the team up there no matter what side of the plate he's standing on, I want the guy who can likely give the best at bat.  For me, that was Mountcastle. Now I get the whole veteran thing, there was no way that Hyde was going to pinch hit for Mullins since he's been a valued member of the team.  But you could argue that Mateo has been a valued member of the team for the past couple years and that pinch hitting Stowers for him was a slap in the face to Mateo, especially when Mateo hasn't been the automatic out that Mullins has been lately.

      I’m the opposite. I think he gets claimed. Ton of bad teams would give him a look.

      I think we’ve all noticed that more calls have gone against the O’s than for them in the last few years.  It was only the Alomar part of your thesis that made me shake my head.
