Teoscar Hernandez seems like the good comp for what type of salary he would get though the year he having hitting might pass that.  Hernandez took a 1 year deal for 23.5 million for little bounce back deal.

Please, for the sake of all that’s holy, please. Stop calling him Santa.

The Orioles are on pace to score 880 runs, which is 73 more than last year.   Individual players are going to have ups and downs during the year.

I’ve come around on Santa. Give him a QO. He might’ve even take it. And that would be fine.

He's hit more HRs in the past 3 years than any switch hitter in baseball and doesn't kill you in the field. His getting a QO was never in doubt. Not even in May.

Hernandez was coming off of a 107 OPS+, I think teams might have been reluctant he was falling off. The last time Santander had an OPS+ under 120 was in 2021.

I know! And it took you guys so long to come around… I just don’t get it. It was so obvious.

I think a lot of people are afraid he will age poorly as he was looking bad a year or two in the field.  He seems to look lot more athletic and in better shape this year.

Very few people on here were hesitant to support a QO, from what I recall. That has seemed obvious all year.

I was joking. I was one of those who was quite confident he wasn’t going to get the qualifying offer because of his defense. I was wrong. Mea culpa.

Where Free Agency is concerned reasonable often does not apply.   Take reasonable. Add a year or two and then up the average cost by 30%.

It seems like people want it both ways here.

As someone who last year, very unpopularly, was saying Cruz would likely reject a QO with another solid season, people seem to want to claim simultaneously that he'd never reject a QO AND he'd never sign a reasonable FA contract.

Both of those things aren't likely to be true.

You recall correctly.

It was very unpopular to suggest he would reject a QO last winter.

He was joking. He's maintained that giving Santander a QO would be stupid as he would absolutely take it, so one shouldn't be offered.

I dunno. I feel like Santander is the kind of player teams are getting leery of giving long-term contracts to. He's 30, doesn't have great OBP and if he loses another step or two is going to be a defensive liability.

If you look at their stat pages, Mark Trumbo and Anthony Santander look pretty similar. Both had/are having their best season at 30, and are power hitting outfielders with poor on base abilities. Teams (other than, sadly, the Orioles) weren't falling over themselves to sign Mike Trumbo to a long-term deal, and while Santander is better than him, he isn't that much better.

If Santander finishes the year hot with an OPS over .820 or so, I probably would make him the QO, expect him to turn it down and make way for one of the glut of young outfielders we have.

EDIT: Whoops, Santander is 29. I think the basic point still holds.

      I mean obviously the Ravens have won some of these close games like the Rams game last year for example but man l you are so right no kidding they definitely lose more close games then they win. The Ravens are pretty good sometimes in blowing teams out like last year with Seattle, SF, Miami, Detroit. Games we all thought would be much closer but they weren't but keep the Ravens close late like the Steelers games, the Colts game and the Browns game just from last year and you see what happens. Well actually now that I think about it they were up big on the Browns and they came back and won. Still hopefully you get what I'm saying.

      A little league team is capable of shutting down our offense over a 3 game stretch if they throw soft (they will!) and are lefties.

      I feel like Harbaugh is a good coach I really do but I also think his time in Baltimore should be coming to an end. Case in point is Andy Reid he was a good coach in Philly but both parties moved on and well Andy has found great success with KC and certainly getting Patrick helped his cause a lot but also even the Eagles won a SB after he left. Sometimes coaches get stale at one place for too long. Bill Walsh once said no coach should stick around in one place for more than 10 years. Now BB did that in New England but having the greatest player all time as your QB had a lot to do with that as well.

      “There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance — that principle is contempt prior to investigation.”  Herbert Spencer Hi Baltfan-Thanks for the kind words.  I really enjoy the level of information exchange OH provides and I have learned often through due diligence prior to posting that I am either wrong or my assertion cannot be supported.  I generally provide footnotes or references.   The game has changed dramaticaly since I played and coached-I learn something everyday on OH if my mind is open to it.  From my research I am well aware that my opinion on the topic is in the minority but it's a topic that has been openly debated for the last 50 years.
