20 minutes Glenn Clark interview:

https://m.soundcloud.com/glennclarkradioclips/adam-frazier-december-4-2023

He says he hasn’t ruled out that the O’s would want him back “in a different role.”  He certainly didn’t seem to think it was likely.  Said Jackson Holliday “will have a huge impact” and Jordan Westburg “is a really good player.”   

He was one of the players who showed up for the Brooks Robinson memorial service.   Didn’t know that.

Just trying to make it interesting.  I listened to the whole thing.  I’m guessing not too many people will take the time.

By different role I hope he means minor league bus driver or something

 I will say this if Elias feels the need to have a token veteran infielder on the team next season you can do worse than Adam Frazier. I'm thinking this is no longer a need with players like Ortiz, Westburg, Norby and now Holliday's meteoric rise through the farm system.

I thought he was ok for the majority of the year, but faded badly. He was probably overpaid. He was 1.7 WAR on Baseball Ref and only .3 on Fangraphs. (I guess those are rWAR and fWAR respectively.) He won some games for us, and had some surprising power, and some really pro at bats. Just under a .700 OPS.

I liked Frazier well enough as a dude, and it was fun when he did noteworthy stuff, which he did at times. Unfortunately, he ended up the guy we basically were worried about with just horrendous defensive metrics. 

I like that he had nice things to say. I don't think there's any way he's back unless it's a minor league deal.

      Adley shares tough health admission

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      This question has probably already been addressed, but if he’s not 100% and he’s playing anyway, that’s probably OK if he’s still being productive. If he’s not being productive, the physical problem is severe enough to need some kind of treatment, so isn’t it the manager’s responsibility to sit him? Did Hyde just let him play anyway because he wanted to play through it? Did Hyde insist he play through it?  If this story about a physical problem is true, it is on Hyde to make the decision to sit him.  And he didn’t.

      Elias and Hyde address the media today

      By 24fps · Posted

      According to Forbes 2024 billionaires list, minority partner Michael Bloomberg is number 12 worldwide with $106 billon net worth.  Way down at 97 is notorious MLB FA cowboy Steve Cohen at around $20 billion.  In other words, Bloomberg could afford to hire Steve Cohen to park his cars and still have plenty enough left over to bump the O's payroll responsibily.  And Bloomberg is just a sideline guy. I don't expect or want fiscal stupidity from the O's organization, but this fan is not in the mood to have his intelligence insulted either.  Let's retire the small market narrative once and for all.  It doesn't play any better than the O's do in the post season.

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      By RVAOsFan · Posted

      I am not in the camp that the organization needs to go full scorched earth this offseason as some here are.  I am concerned about Hyde as the manager going forward though.  There were a lot of rumblings during the middle of the season about club house issues which falls squarely on Hyde to correct.  The way the team stumbled through the second half doesn't give me much confidence they were corrected.  Second and probably my biggest concern is that now Hyde is 0-5 as an MLB Manager, 4 of those 5 games have been played at home with a team that was favored to win the series. I think we all agree the roster needs a little work this off season but there is also a great young core here to build around that will not be here forever.  I don't want to waste these years with a manager who may not be capable of winning playoff games.  I hope the leash is short.

      So what do you think is going on? Does Adley just not want the narrative of being injured?  I do find it odd that a guy like Salvy is 34, started 90 games at C and had a similar or better year. Adley is every bit as talented and 8 years younger. He should be up to the task easily.

      Is Holliday the most important player in 2025?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Without getting into a conversation about his defense, what position he should be in, etc…it dawns on me that Holliday, the version we saw in the minors, is exactly the type of player this team needs. Good power, high BA, lots of walks, lots of speed. That is a combo this team needs. A guy who sees a lot of pitches, works counts, etc… We all know the level of talent he has. We all know how all scouts and evaluators love this kid. This year was a major disappointment and him not getting better wasn’t what you want to see. That said, he started to make an adjustment, he started to get more comfortable and he now has this experience. He is a hard worker and knows what he needs to do.  Im expecting a 4+ WAR year out of him in 2025. Him being the best player on the team wouldn’t shock me although I wouldn’t predict him to do that.

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      By MDK02 · Posted

      Playoffs 3 years in a row won't be easy especially in our division. I expect the Blue Jays to be better and Red Sox were in the thick of things this past season. Rays always somehow manage to bounce back. Hyde better hope this team is firing on all cylinders a lot of year and the right moves are made in the offeason/deadline.

      Who Stays and Who Goes Early Guess

      By LGOrioles · Posted

      I see almost zero chance that Dominguez isn’t brought back. He was their highest leverage reliever once he was acquired. He threw 24.1 IP total, with an 11.2 K/9 rate and a 3.73 ERA. They need more arms like him. Having him in the 7th or 8th inning in front of Bautista is a luxury. He’s also their only reliever with playoff success.
