I took it as a joke. But if we’re going to DFA Baumann if we made this move, we might as well offer him to then. 

Sure, but I don't think that sweetens the deal for them even 1%.

It’s still not cool to downvote a guy just because you don’t like his opinion.  All he was doing here was asking a question.

I'm not against trading for Scott, or any other reliever at some point, but there's a bit of a jam at starting pitching for a moment. A couple of guys are going to be in the pen soon. Plus we don't have any idea about Grayson and when he'll be back. 

 

There's always work to do on a BP for most teams, but I think they'll exercise some patience until the starting pitching clears up.

I think that if you're looking out beyond this season, you have to add to the calculation that there's maybe a 2% chance Means returns after this season, and probably only a 0.000001% chance that Burnes does.  So the SP log jam isn't quite as jammy as it currently appears.

Rundown on the players Peter Bendix desired enough here to pull the trigger on a May trade.

Dillon Head 10.11.2004 commanded a $2.8M bonus as a high schooler...maybe Gunnar Henderson raw material just starting his pro career.

Jakob Marsee 6.28.2001, a $250k college bat, and Nathan Martorella 2.18.2001, a $325k college bat, less than half what Kyle Stowers commanded.    Mid level college guys doing fairly well.

Woo-Suk Go 8.26.1998 closed for 5 years in the KBO, and has been an average reliever on his AA Texas League team opening the season.

Imagine starting a pool that goes 99% in one direction, and then trying to insult other posters as “facebook quality”

Imagine neg repping someone for an opinion on a discussion board. That’s a little…

I’m not afraid to have opinions against group think. The board gets boring if all we do is talk about Mason Miller or bust.

You got negative repped because all you are doing is trying to do in the thread is say you are low on Povich, and carrying over that opinion from the minor league thread. Even if you are low on him and think he is at his peak value, proposing to move him for a rental reliever who walks a batter per inning deserves a downvote.

@sportsfan8703 is correct in that our approach should not be Mason Miller or bust (though Miller would be a great get IMO depending on costs). But is Tanner Scott the best we can do in the non-Miller category/quality?

I ask because the approach of a team that is as good as the 2024 Orioles should be - does this player have the capability putting us over the top/being a significant improvement in an area of weakness?

Is Tanner Scott any better than Craig Kimbrel? Because Kimbrel is the guy who probably needs to be upgraded in the pen to improve our chances in the postseason. Otherwise what's the point in adding another (potential decent to good) lefty to the pen? Is that something that we really need? How much would Scott really improve the team's chances in its pursuits of competing for the ultimate prize?

Why Povich? He's a free agent 2025. Seems like a deal could be made with other positions we have a surplus in... Odd choice

He accomplished his goal. Got your attention. He believes Povich is Bruce Zimmerman caliber, but want people who aren't on the Minor League board to know that opinion.

I don't know, I have downvoted a few times on this board, and it has always been when someone has said something completely off the wall inappropriate or offensive. It doesn't matter anyway, years ago neg rep affected you, now it's just a dumb red arrow from the same 5 or 6 names all the time and nobody cares what their opinion is for the most part.

2024 Scott wouldn’t help much if at all.  2023 Scott was one of the elite relievers in the game.   If you believe the 2023 version is just waiting to break out after a bad start he makes sense, no matter where he slots in the bullpen.

We should have tried trading Santander for Scott in the offseason.

You’re talking about the OP hating on Povich. Your Santa hate is over the top also.

      Hurricane Milton is looking scarier by the minute

      Just did a bit of a walk. Some decently large braches down, one segment of privacy fence missing and standing water on the property in a low spot.

      Do the Orioles need someone like Machado?

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      Not that I am in any way full agreement, but this is a classic post.  Doesn't Machado play chess?  Maybe we could get some chess boards in the clubhouse and junk all the legos.  Not all great baseball men are John McGraw bad asses.  Some can be Christy Mathewsons as well, I suppose.  Not that I imagine today's young players much resembling McGraw or Mathewson, but they are the first two contrasting old school types that come to mind.  I will say just based on his postseason alone I'd much rather have Tatis over Machado.

      Will MASN be among these soon ? MLB taking over TV broadcasts of 3 teams

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      Customer advocate groups have tried for decades to force the cable companies to allow channel by channel (a la carte) subscriptions, but the cable companies fought this because it would result in far less revenue (than forcing us to pay for a hundred channels we don't watch).  The government refused to intervene, so we've been stuck with the existing business model for all this time.  Streaming is forcing the change because streaming -- for now -- is an a la carte model.   MLB's fear must be this: if the regional sports network cable channel model goes away, will most users pay anywhere close to what these channels made as part of a cable bundle for just one streaming channel where all you watch are Orioles games (or maybe Orioles and Nats games -- whatever the case may be)?  So if you pay $100/month for cable with MASN, you are probably watching at least a few other channels too.  But will you pay $15/month (or whatever the price may be) just to watch the Orioles -- even during the months when there is no baseball?  The existing basic cable model has been quite stable because people tend to watch at least 5 or 6 channels.  They're reluctant to cancel their whole cable package just because baseball season is over -- or they've been too busy to watch many games this season.  But with a single streaming channel of just baseball there is bound to be a far more unstable revenue base.  All the streaming channels are already dealing with this problem.  I think MLB is maybe reluctant to go all in on streaming for this reason.  Perhaps they're looking for new different model that could allow them to bundle individual team channels with Netflix, or Prime, or maybe with your cell phone plan or something else.  This could give them some stability, but it could also be a turn off for the more hardcore fans who just want the Orioles and little else.  It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out and if MLB, and the Orioles, will prosper or suffer as a result.
