I'll take Eddie Murray from 1982-83. He's way better than O'Hearn and Mountcastle with his bat and glove plus Murray is one of the best clubhouse leaders in team history.

I would take the 1996 Roberto Alomar over the Frazier/Westburg duo   .328 BA, 22hrs, 94 RBIs, Gold Glove, .. and he had lifetime .313 avg in 58 playoff games

I will go a different route, Robbie Alomar.  Switch hitter.  Very good at putting the ball in play, slick fielder, and had good pop when necessary.  Players with his skillset, much like Molitor, have value in the postseason.  And he is much better than what they have at 2nd base.

All of baseball or Orioles only? I'd take 97 Mussina. He was absolutely dominating that post season. Too bad that offense let it go to waste. I still remember Tony Fernandez Hr.

Going with Orioles only but anything that is interesting or creates discussion is cool by me

Couldn’t be prime Britton because we don’t know how he would pitch in the playoff crucible. 🙄 

Eh, the starting rotation of Bradish, Bedard, and Rodriguez would stand with anyone in baseball. They can piece the pen together.

      Its always easier in hindsight, but letting Kyle Gibson go, could end up being a glaring error.

      Gibson signed very early in the offseason and was never really a true option of being brought back by Elias and co. If you want to go with someone they could have actually signed for depth then Michael Lorenzen would of made sense as a swingman as he had to wait forever to finally get a deal and it was a bargain for Texas at 4mill. Even then, would he have been fine signing here as a non guaranteed starter; hard to say but don’t think there was any attempt on the O’s to do so.

      Pick your 40 man roster (protect list) for Nov 20th.

      The Britton trade allowed the Yankees to trade some guys that would have been subjected to the 40 man crunch (Tate for example).

      You can get Pit/PA here. Scroll down to the Team Pitches Batting section and sort by Pit/PA. Lots of good stuff on that page.

      It will be interesting to see if a small July trade occurs in the style of the Rays or Dodgers with stuffed 40-man rosters. Michael Busch and Bryan Hudson having been guys the Dodgers moved along last winter for off 40 man types is a level  no one else is at, but if Orioles PD success rate stays high they may get closer than most of the other 29 clubs.    How many real keepers are on Delmarva right now?     How many of McDermott, Young, Johnson, Bright, De Leon, Baumeister, Forret, etc. become full time Orioles?

      It’s a good trade deadline question. It’s not super common, but looking ahead at 40-man roster crunch does affect the prospects who become available for teams with really deep 40-man rosters and strong upper level minors systems. For example, it almost certainly played a role in the Rays trading Seth Johnson. More recently, the Dodgers had some 40-man crunch this off-season and that motivated a handful of trades.  However, I don’t think the Orioles are to that point. They still have enough 40-man space for the prospects who will clearly need to be added.

      Correct.  I was never a big Mountcastle guy but I didn’t, to the best of my knowledge, say he wouldn’t make it, just that he wouldn’t be an 800-900 OPS type of guy.  Mountcastle’s hit tool (.293 minor league avg) has allowed him to overcome his chase tendencies.  Stowers (.263 minor league avg), I don’t believe, has as good a hit tool.  He’s going to have to hit 25+ homers, minimum, to be a .780 hitter.   He’s capable of it.  I’m just not as confident about it as you are.  I think he’s looked good both ways.

      Interesting.. I wonder if he could improve a bit by switching to a more aggressive approach, similar to the evolution Gunnar made last year.
