You know what would help if they have to face Texas next year? Not giving up 7 runs a game.

Give Kjerstad 600 ABs and I think he'll match or exceed what we got from Santander this season.

He’s not “hard to replace”. 5+ WAR players are hard to replace. If Adley blows out his Achilles in ST, he would be hard to replace.    Santander isn’t that. CP is right. People overra

You don't think his production including defense is comparable to Schwarber?

For whatever reason, offense pays better than defense.  So, you couid argue that they make similar overall contributions, but I don’t think Santander will get paid like Schwarber did.

I understand how fans can get attached to players, especially when they developed here, but at some point they have to clear space for MiL guys. 

 

Elias either needs to trade young players or vets... someone has to go. The organization has a plenty of black eyes from being poorly run in the past. I don't want to see them getting another one by drafting well and leaving guys in the minors wasting away.

So, Swarber is at nearly 20 million per. Let’s say Santander can get 3 or 4 at 17 million per. I don’t think the Orioles will want to pay that and don’t think it’s in their best interest if the approach is to use the available money to early extend guys like Gunnar and Bradish

This years QO number:

 

I’m interested to see if Teoscar Hernandez gets a QO.  Bowden predicted that he’d get one and would accept it.  Whether either of those things happen has some relevance to decisions involving Santander.

Are we a “revenue sharing” team?  Because If I’m reading the QO definition right on MLB, then if we offer Santa a QO, he rejects, then signs with another team for $50 million+, then we would get a pick after the first rd, and comp pick A, selections.

I would guess we are a “revenue sharing” team since we get a comp pick each year.

Is that right?

Trading Santander is such a tough call, but being reminded that we actually have Cowser, and Kjerstad, ready to replace him makes me lean that we should trade him if we can get a stud reliever or SP option. 

Pros:

- Cowser and Kjerstad are basically ready. Now it’s just time for them to battle it out in ST and for them to produce.

- This is peak performance value for Santa. Performance and health. 

- If Cowser, and Kjerstad, absolutely fail, we could put O’Hearn out there temporarily. 

- We could get back a stud bullpen option to help mitigate the loss of Bautista and possible regression from Cano/Coloumbe.

- We could get back long term rotation options and really extend our window.

- We don’t have to play the QO game next offseason. 
 

Cons:

- We blow a chance at a WS because we have a huge hole in the MOO.

- We lose a vet, SH bat, with some playoff experience.

- Trading away an everyday player for a reliever that will only pitch in 60ish games. Relievers are volatile. 

- Pitching prospects are even more risky.

- 2024 is our most valuable season in a long time.

- Cowser and Kjerstad could both flop.

      I was curious how GRod would pitch given that huge crowd and electric atmosphere. I feel like he has a tendency to get too amped up and overthrow. Granted I didn’t start watching until inning 3, but he looked absolutely in control and executed his pitches.  Certainly a big step forward as far as I’m concerned.

      Unless Santander goes on an absolute tear the rest of the season, I don't think he turns down a qualifying offer. And even then, it'd be real easy to look at FA deals for 30-ish year old outfielders who are good regulars but not stars and realize there's a good chance he won't beat a QO in guaranteed money, especially with a QO attached. As much as I'd like the pick, I don't want to gamble 20-30M and another year of stunted opportunity for our young outfielders on Santander turning down a QO.

      Chayce McDermott 2024

      By ChosenOne21 · Posted

      Yeah, it's getting to the point where I'm not going to cry if McDermott finishes the year in AAA. I'm not against bringing him up necessarily, but he's clearly got more work to do on control/command if he wants to be a good major league starter long-term.

      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.
