If this thread was on the correct board, this never would have happened

Can someone please get rid of this guy? Hasn’t he violated some rules or something? Not sure I remember another poster making this board this unenjoyable.

You have to give up something of quality to get quality. Absolutely Ortiz would be a plus defender at 2B and would be doing well "IF" the Orioles would have given him that chance. I think the Orioles

One of the highest rated YOUNGEST, CHEAPEST, and controllable pitchers in MLB (in other words he is performing at the highest level).........compared to a guy who has never performed at the highest level and in fact was one of the worst players ever in his brief time here.

Miller can help us win a WS NOW.  Next year.  And the year after.

What is JH going to do during that time?

He's going to be 26 in a month lol hardly the YOUNGEST

As I said....so many of you guys are basing what you see with JH based on social media hype.  He has been very good as a young player.  I agree.   I don't see elite elite elite.   You are being fooled if you do. 

And I promise you that if JH did not have the last name HOLLIDAY?  In other words not his dads last name but lets say the last name of Jackson Blow?   He would not be as hyped.   Social media these days means a lot. 

I will equate this to Bronny James who just was drafted in the NBAs 2nd round and given a guaranteed contract despite never doing much of....anything.  In fact he averaged 4 points as a Frosh at USC lol.  Give me a break.  

Again...stop thinking of JH as this amazing super duper prospect and look at real life.  What have you seen him do that is so amazing compared to MIller? 

Miller is amazing.  Can help us win now and the next 2 years.

JH?  Is not going to help this year and probably next next as well. 

Listen, we are basing things on people who have been scouting for years. We are basing things on stats that he put up that almost no MiLer has ever done.  

So, that’s scouts, arguably the smartest org in the sport right now and actual results..not to mention his age.

You are relying on yourself and I’m sorry to say, you just don’t know what you are talking about. Your opinion is just that..your opinion..and while you are entitled to it, it doesn’t make it good, valid or respected.

Not sure anyone can be dense enough to honestly draw a parallel between Jackson and Bronny.

James was drafted to keep his father, who is an active NBA player and who had an opt out, happy.

The Lakers willingly spent a second round pick to keep LeBron happy.

If LeBron James had retired at the end of the 2023 season his son would have gone undrafted.

If you want to go that way?  I agree.  I  have seen more and more scouts say that Miller is a once in a generation talent while JH is going to be good...but never great.

 

Glad we found common ground.

Skenes is 22.

Miller is literally nearly the same age as the pitcher on the mound facing us now who the Mariners would hand us and can give near 200 innings + more for Holliday then they'd proceed to laugh at us over doing such a deal lol @ youngest

This conversation is Exhibit A of why this board can be so annoying and toxic.  Every topic devolves into the same handful of people with a bajillion post counts nit-picking each other in the same predictable manner.

Y'all need to get a group chat/WhatsApp/Discord or something.

So you’re saying he’s elite for his age?   Going to be an elite ML player?  Right now he’s got issues and he’s not an elite AAA player.   I suspect he’s going to turn it around at some point but he’s got a ways to go.

Yes, he’s elite for his age.  I also think he will be an elite ML player.

      Skubal trade..Kjerstad, Mountcastle, McDermott and Bradfield?

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      I think for me this specific deal is harder because of Mountie and Kjerstad. Bradfield I don’t care about one bit honestly, and McD I really don’t have a good feel for, other than he’s one of the very few actual prospects at the upper levels for us (pitching wise).    Feels like if we traded Mountie it would help free up at bats for Kjerstad, but that won’t matter if they are both in the deal. Yes we have Mayo but depth then becomes an issue a little bit.  Like I said, glad it’s not my call to make!

      By G54377 · Posted

      Are the Tigers going to give up on Torkelson? Seems like Mounty wouldn't be the ML guy they'd want. As it is now we really don't have a long term option at 1B other than Mounty himself anyway. When 2027 rolls around that dust will have settled. Maybe Mayo? If I were to guess the player the Tigers would target, it'd be Westburg. But I think he has entrenched himself to the point he's not going anywhere. Perhaps Kjerstad/McDermott/Norby/Bradfield would get it done? That may seem light, but it is 2 guys in the top 100 and 2 guys that are fringe top 100. Bradfield presents the same problem though. I think the Orioles really view Cowser as the long term LF, to eventually replace Hays. Mullins probably isn't getting an extension. CF is still mostly a mystery long term without Bradfield.

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      If you are the Orioles and have done a great job with drafting and developing and your intl players are starting to bear some fruit, does it bother you to lose Bradfield or McDermott? Thats not to say they aren’t good prospects..I line both and have said I’m penciling McDermott into the rotation next year.  The other side to that is that these aren’t can’t miss elite prospects either, so they can be replaced.

      Jonathan Mayo has O's taking Caleb Lomavita, C, California with 1/22

      By Otter · Posted

      Agreed.  Unlike football and basketball, in baseball the 1st round usually should be BPA and not need-based since they're usually multiple years away from making the majors and needs will have changed by then.  That being said, of all the demographics in the draft I'd say a college C is easily the lowest of our needs and I'd be shocked and disappointed if we drafted one with our first pick.

      The Yankees in ten game intervals

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      Ha! You beat me to it! I was going to point out that the yankees have been mainly relying on a phenomenal May, when they were 21-7. In April they were 15-12 In June, they were only 14-13, but that’s still a winning record. In July, they are 0-4 getting swept by the Reds and so far 0-1 against the Bosox. They have made some embarrassing gaffes in the last couple games, including the LAZIEST double play I ever saw. Lemahieu didn’t get into a run down to allow Volpe to score, and Volpe was lollygagging down the third base line towards home plate, actually watching the play at second, and didn’t touch home before the play was over, so the run didn’t score. Its fair to ask how much the Clubhouse Angst will affect them going forward. Meanwhile, Cortes has apparently gotten over a brief funk, and is pitching well again, but the bullpen is suffering from some malaise. The Orioles have been almost magically consistent, winning 17 games in each full month regardless of opponent.    Good times…

      One-third of the way through, the O’s are on a 105-win pace

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      The good news is regardless of who is directly chasing us, we’re likely to have to tie breaker on them. We’ve won 5/6 so far from the Sox and 5/7 from the Yanks, so just a couple more wins in the next 6 or 7 games against each is required on that front.    If you actually watch a Yanks game, that’s not a good team right now. They aren’t playing well in the field and the lineup is hot garbage other than the obvious two. Volpe has slumped a bit and was down to sixth in the order the other day, with rookie Ben Rice in the leadoff spot. Grisham is playing basically every day and he’s an awful hitter. Lemahieu’s ghost can’t hit anymore. Verdugo is decent but basically an average hitter. It’s not pretty.    The pitching is of course slumping a bit and may very well bounce back. But Gil has IP issues likely, Cole could get reinjured at any moment, and Rodon is just an enigma.  Holmes has looked vulnerable on the backend a little bit. Our staff has question marks for sure but theirs has its share as well.    We are very clearly the better team on paper.
