I’m not as high on Cowser …. Let me ask you….. Would you rather trade Cowser or Westburg? 

I find it interesting that you use MLB pipeline like the Bible until it doesn’t suit you.   I’d prefer to keep Westburg and trade Cowser if given the choice.

I'm just catching up on this but we know how Elias and company share information outside of their inner circle. They don't. We've heard from players many times say they don't hear from the Orioles abo

@Sports Guyis so prolific, he's the #3 poster on the Soxtalk thread despite joining on page 102 of 149. He's also the #1 poster in this thread, so potentially on track to be the #1 poster on both team

Westburg.  Not really because I think that Cowser is going to be better than Westburg long term, but that we can more easily replace Westburg with ready or near ready guys (Ortiz, Holiday, etc).

Yea, it’s typical. I mean, why on earth would I not want to waste my time posting a poll about your trade?  The horror?

Here’s a thought…you post it. You spend your time finding out if OH is in your side.  Why in the blue hell would I give a damn if OH agrees with you about your trade or not?

Because this is the Cease thread. So I don’t have to get crap about starting a new thread about Cease. Your funny

Thanks we can agree to disagree. It’s 2 years of Cease…. If you didn’t think it was way too much it wouldn’t be a fair trade.

No, you just offered too damn much in this case.

But again, thankfully you have no decision-making power in the Orioles organization.

Only counting players ready to contribute in 2024 you have: 


Urias , Mateo, Henderson, Westburg, Holliday, Mayo, Ortiz,  Norby.  
 

In OF Hays, Santa,Mullins, Kjerstad, Cowser, Stowers, 

Urías and Mateo aren’t part of the future.  Norby and Mayo might not be future infielders.  Cuts down the numbers quite a bit.

The problem is the WS are trying to sell him like he is coming off of the 22 season.  When he is in fact coming off a pretty mediocre season.  I am kind of at the point of just saying "to hell with it lets just roll the dice we got"

Right now Westburg is part of the starting 8.  Cowser doesn’t even have a 26 man spot.  In that regard, Cowser doesn’t even need replacing.

Couldn’t you argue Kjerstad is already here, Stowers ( if we’re keeping him)is reader, Bradfield, Fabian, Haskins, Cook, are all pretty close?

And he look good after the call up this year, offensively or defensively. I’m not saying he can’t turn it around, just stating what he did. Westburg is worth a ton of he hits for power this year.

Haskins and Cook mentioned in what context?   For that matter, Fabian as well?   Close to what?

I don’t think there is any need to report back on White Sox board discussions. 
If a OH member cared, they would be there to see it for themselves.

I can't upvote so I'm just going to 2nd, 3th, and 4th this comment. Unless someone reports some tangible news (that we're not aware of) please stop spamming the feed with what random White Sox fans think because it's completely meaningless and part of the reason this thread is over 260 excruciating pages long.

I think there is a good chance Norby & Mayo stick in the IF. Thats going to be the plan until they prove it isn’t.  Regarding the future, the current outfielders are gone as soon as next year.  There is also more “impact” talent in the IF v. The OF.  If you lose one of Kjerstad/Cowser the high end talent drops.  If you lose Westburg you can still field a Henderson, Holliday, Mayo IF.  
 

Mostky splitting hairs here.  I think there are arguments both ways.  I just see Westburg as the highest end talent (will fetch most in a trade) that could be most easily replaceable.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By dtk9119 · Posted

      The bullpen has warts for sure, but if this offense doesn't figure out how to hit good pitching in the playoffs, the bullpen won't matter. Even I got a little excited when they put 5 and 9 up on the board Tues and Wed, and then it crashed back to reality last night when I remembered they were facing Schmidt and Stroman. When facing a real ace like Cole they were completely shut down. What's gonna happen next week when they face Skubal, Reagins, and/or Lugo? The mediocre bullpen won't matter if they can't figure out how to score some runs off pitchers like that...

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      By DirtyBird · Posted

      Why carry four 1 inning guys over a LH long option? Cionel stinks and should not be on the roster over Povich when you still have Akin, Coulombe and Soto.

      Really would be nice to win tonight OR have DET lose so then they can play around Sat/Sun when the games would have no bearing on the seeding. Dont want this to come down to Sunday and having to win to get the 4 seed or then there will be some tough decisions that have to be made.

      It was R-R-L-R coming up. Cano is the guy Hyde matches up against the toughest hitters. Yes, those guys got to him the previous game but that is his job and Hyde also probably saw a redemption opportunity to get his confidence back after a tough outing. I don't see why that was bad move except in hindsight it didn't work out. Congrats if you called it in the game thread.

      Soto and Judge are both first ballot Hall of Famers when they retire.  Soto is younger than Adley, has a career bWAR over 36, and dominated the 2019 postseason as a 21 year old. Folks probably weren't paying much attention to him or the Nats back then, but he has been a force ever since being called up in 2018. And Judge...not sure why nobody else saw value in a six and a half foot man with a ton of raw power, but good for them for nailing that 32nd pick in the draft. Having these guys 2 and 3 in the lineup is such a game changer, because there is so much pressure on the opposing pitchers to not screw up with any of their other 7 hitters.  One guy you may be able to get around.  But 2.....much harder.   That being said, I do think it is more about us losing the division than anything else.  Tampa showed us last year how to keep fighting in spite of injuries. Those guys were decimated and were like a relentless swarm of bees hanging around us all the way until the last weekend.  They won 99 games with an extremely depleted pitching staff and a slew of no-name hitters who kept coming up with big hits.  We lost this division by playing uninspired, unclutch, and lame baseball for three full months.  And amazingly, we will have gone all of July, all of August, and all of September without so much as a 4 game winning streak.   Winning the season series against every division opponent for the second year in a row is something I am very happy about after years of being a doormat. I am sorry we couldn't win the division, but I am also glad to be playing next week and not sitting at home waiting to play a team on a high after winning a playoff series.

      It's game 160 tonight and we just discovered our bull pen has warts? Elias's fault, Hyde's fault - we've had ample threads of he sucks, they suck, fire him, demote him, etc.  Well we are off to the playoffs and the pen may be the reason we don't go far. And if so I doubt few on here will be surprised. It is what it is going forward with some but not necessarily significant adjustments. We play this year out with the hand we can put together - next Monday. Till then, just win one in Minnasota for the bottom line. Last night is over and IMO really didn't teach us anything we didn't already know.
