Heston to AAA to make room for Eloy.

There's a positive sign - the O's actually taking on money for a possible rehab project is a good sign for the new ownership kicking in....

Apologies on my part. I fell for a post from some knockoff BR Twitter account. It popped on the feed.

Yeah, I think he's strictly a DH/PH type. Basically Austin Hays without the defensive skills. With some offensive upside. 

He can play right when Santander needs a day off. His advanced stats are very interesting. Seems to need an adjustment on his swing elevation. 92 MPH avg exit velo, 50 percent hard hit rate.

For as big as Jiminez is, he doesn’t have much power. He had 31 HRs in 2019 but hasn’t reached 20 since.

Mountcastle?    Kjerstad?

this forum is so toxic. some of yall just whine and complain. all the threads when i visit here are people trying so hard to invent problems.

 

why not just enjoy the best and most exciting orioles team in a long long time and a great GM and great owner. 

Do you at least acknowledge that some of these moves do leave room for criticism?

I think construction criticism make us all better. No one should be above being critiqued.

Sorry, I think it's a pretty honest take.  I don't think the O's really need another DH, especially one who is not really a good hitter.  Yeah he has great upside, but how much of that upside has he shown?

Feels like the White Sox should be sending the O's a prospect in exchange for eating Jiminez's salary.

We traded for a guy with a negative WAR. This can't be real.

Are we really going all fixer uppers (minus Eflin)?

Your inability to see the forest for the trees is really on display today. You spend a lot of time on this forum criticizing people and the deadline has really outed you as someone who isn't able to look at these moves objectively.
