What a bunch of idiots.  Good lord.  Look at this pinecone:Screenshot2024-02-02at8_09_36AM.thumb.png.cda80dd4c139ab6139e6cee24d80e415.png

Seriously?  He doesn't have any comprehension of how much better Burnes is than Cease.  If that's what we gave up for Burnes, they weren't getting anything close to that for Cease.  And then his next post is saying that he thinks a big piece gets added to the deal.  Yeah, because the big piece to the deal always comes in later.

Even if Cease has one more year of control, so what?  Lol so many of them think that Cease has some amazing value that everyone else fails to see, this is hilarious.  Like, one more year of Cease is worth Holliday, lol 

 

 

He is one of the guys that claims to be an insider.

No, no, no, no!   For all of those comments their fans made.

1.  Elias has no balls

2. Elias is a prospect hugger

3. The Orioles pitching stinks and they need Cease

4.  There’s something wrong with every single Orioles prospect except Holliday

5. Let’s choose the top 4 prospects of every team reported to be interested in Cease.

6. The Oriole board is stupid and deserve to get bounced in the playoffs again.

7. “Nicky” Ortiz “Madrigal” over and over.

8.  More I can’t think of right now

I hope 

1. The WS are unable to trade Cease before the season or get a very underwhelming return.

2. They hold onto him but he pulls a lat a week before the deadline that isn’t career threatening but puts him out for the remainder of the season.

 

Yeah …I hear ya. They just have the second Chicago team. Their organization sucks right now. We’ve lost guys like Machado  For what I still consider an underwhelming return.

I don't fault Getz for wanting as much as he can get for Cease.  We have faulted Elias for not reading the room for SP costs or paying too much for a Givens (or whatever).  Similar deal for Getz here.  I do find it ironic that they call Elias a hoarder and Getz is coveting our guys more than Elias is. 

Moving Hall, Ortiz, and a high pick for the best arm available is a commitment to 2024.

I don't recall who posted it or the X account, but loved the:  "O's came into winter with the best farm system in baseball.  Now the O's still have the best farm system and Burnes."

Hey, did @Picklessay something baout Ortiz being able to be a headliner?  I can't tell if that noise I hear is him patting himself on the back or clapping his hands for himself.

Hey, the burden of being right all the time is a real load.  I'm sure you have little experience with such problems, but the compensation is getting to toot your own horn once everyone else catches up.  :)

Here I am, exhausted after being right all the time:

I’m predicting Milwaukee gets Cease and the dream becomes reality. Essentially the three team trade comes true. 

As long as it's for Milwaukee's 35th and 36th ranked prospects, I'm good with it.

    • I'm not sure how they get there, but I believe that this is a better team with Westburg at 3B and ideally Holliday at 2B rather than Mayo at 3B and Westburg at 2B.   Actually, any combo will be better with Westburg at third.
    • I’ll be happy to eat my words if a list comes out with us having 3 in the top 5.  I’d bet strongly against it.   
    • Guys like Wynns who’ve had some major league experience make decent money even when in the minors.  Still, it must be disappointing to be hopping from team to team and getting a few major league games here and there but not really sticking.  Not an easy life.  
    • Nope.  Believe it or not I would be much happier to have the Os win the WS and I never bet them at all than for me to have bet them to win the division for example, they do so, and not get out of round 1 of the playoffs.  Sure I make money.  But so what? Money is just money.  Winning a WS is pure joy.   I just made the point about me betting to show that I am not afraid to be critical and a realist even though I did put my money where my mouth is. 
    • Show me an objective source that has reranked the prospects since their initial lists?  The draft is July 16th.  Usually they do a reranking a few weeks after that.  We could have 3 in the top 5.  We have 3 in the top 18 currently.  It's not so far fetched.  
    • Most players in the NFL and NBA are elite/explosive athletes just look at their measurables/testing numbers. As a matter of fact, when someone succeeds in the NBA in particular without being one it is an outlier (Luka Doncic). In football even the non-uber athletes (Offensive guards, defensive tackles, most tight ends are still fantastic athletes) Ever seen Aaron Donald up close Justin Madubuike? However, baseball is a different game. Some baseball players are elite athletes. But many are not as it is not a requirement to be great at the sport, since it is mostly a hand-eye coordination sport. Deion Sanders was a great athlete and an okay baseball player. Michael Jordan sucked at baseball. But again, I have to assume that you know this and are just typing words for the sake of it. Do you think Tony Gwynn could beat any of those people in any kind of athletic contest? But yet he was miles and away a better baseball player.
    • That's a point I was trying to make earlier in the season, but you did a much better job than I. Holliday could turn out to be a great player, but still not be anywhere near what Henderson is. Once he gets his chance again hopefully he's ready because those 2 together would make an excellent combo.
