2024 Opening Day Roster


EERinthe804

Recommended Posts

I think that Hall and Wells are both best suited to late inning relief, though I wouldn't mind adding another high leverage reliever. 

I like the starting four of Bradish, Rodriguez, Means and Kremer.  But, I'd really like to see us reach higher than the Gibson's and Lyles of the world and go after someone like Jordan Montgomery or Blake Snell.

I’m still making a big push for Luis Robert and seeing if the WS would move him.

I would trade for a starter and sign someone in FA.

Would add 2-3 new BP arms.

I do like the Idea of finding teams under new management. I love Roberts talent but not his track record of health.

Get a good SP that can fit somewhere around Bradish/Grayson/Means, 3 or more stud bullpen relievers (one of those should be a top flight closer, especially if Bautista is out for 2024).

Not worried about the positional talent.

I agree with this.  At least two bullpen arms (long relief) and if there is a solid veteran starter that can pitch 200 innings in a year, grab him.

If we could land Snell, that would be huge.

I agree… my number one target is Hader.  Particularly with Bautista out.  And with the LF wall , Camden would be an appealing park for him

I think the roster looks just like it does right now except for some bullpen arms, and Frazier probably moving on.  Hope we keep Urias at 3B and Westberg at 2nd until Holiday forces the issue at 2B. Gunnar is The Shortstop. He's the "Alpha Infielder," or "biggest dick in the shower" to use Buck's colorful terminology.   Gotta keep Tony Taters, he's a huge part of this team and locker room. I think we keep Mateo as well, we wouldn't have 97 wins right now without him. Hope we trade the AAA infield log jam for some pitching, even if that is pitching prospects.  But overall, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Need a lot of change with the pitching staff and it will be interesting to see how they handle the positional talent.

This.  I'd like them to acquire a mid-rotation starter (I doubt JA will approve a large free agent contract, so it will probably be via trade), and several relievers.  They have to do something with the position player logjam; no more kicking the can down the road.  I think trading Santander makes the most sense; JA won't extend him and I wouldn't want them to anyway.  We also have Kjerstad and Cowser ready to take over RF.  I would also use Norby, Ortiz, and Stowers as trade bait.

    • the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.
    • I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.
    • It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.
    • Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.
    • O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted. 
    • No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.
    • The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
