And that is if they really think he is not ready.

It makes no since to hold him back because of service time. If has is 3/4 as good as everyone thinks he is, we will try to sign him to a long tern lucrative contract before the year is over. His service time concern will never be a factor.

Scott Boras is his agent.

Ah. Yes. No one had thought of that before. It's all much clearer now.

We have worked very well with Boras lately. Give him the right contract and he will sign. Boras is going to have to think twice after losing with Many.

This just really isn't true at all. The chances of Wieters signing an extension this season are basically zero. If Wieters re-signs with us it will be once he hits the open market.

Keeping him down in AAA to delay his service time is the smart thing to do.

Yes, it does. You hold him down long enough and he doesnt have the service time to qualify this as a full year and we get a 7th year out of the deal by holding him down for a little bit now.

If we have not signed him before this comes to fruition, then we are the worst franchise in baseball.

Scott Boras doesn't do extensions. It has nothing to do with our organization.

Scott Boras will be doing what his client wants him to do. Scott boras was aloso going to get manny a 4 year 100 million dollar contract, wasn't he?

I agree with you, but I hope you realize how in the minority we are.

I thought the EXACT same thing :laughlol:

You have this backwards, Scott Boras' clients do what Scott Boras wants them to do.

      Funny game thread comments 2024

      It may be just me, but I don't think you have to go to the game threads to find funny. Hell, some of the OP's are funny but then that's just me and my sense of humor.

      2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

      Was going to say this afternoon that I would try moving Gunnar back to the leadoff role, just to try to recapture a bit of that magic.  I don’t think there’s a ton of correlation here, but he was at a .942 OPS as a leadoff hitter and only .742 as a #3 hitter. It’s possible that even if it actually means nothing, Gunnar may perceive it as sort of a reset and take a little extra confidence and clearmindedness to the plate.  I think it’s worth a shot. The batting order position doesn’t matter much — unless the player himself happens to believe it matters a lot.

      Mayo coming back up

      By Jim'sKid26 · Posted

      Scouting grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 65 | Run: 40 | Arm: 70 | Field: 45  "He moves well for his size, but the potential of him outgrowing third..." https://www.mlb.com/prospects/orioles/coby-mayo-691723 Hit: 45/55, Game Power: 50/60, Raw Power: 60/70, Run: 45/40, Defense: 40/45 "Listed at 6-5, 230 the concern remains whether he will eventually end up too big to play an effective 3B, but for now, he’s shown enough improvements that he can play 3B effectively if a team is going to live with a few more errors then some would like. In his limited play at first base, Mayo took well to the position and looks to be a legitimate option there, though he would waste his plus plus arm.  He’s an average to slightly below average runner so he’s not base clogger, but he will slow with age due to his size. He’s athletic enough and moves well once he get going." https://orioleshangout.com/2023/11/16/orioles-2023-3-prospect-coby-mayo-3b/ I don't think the athleticism is the question. He's a 40-45 runner. That is average to slightly below average. Is he faster or more nimble than Santander or O'Hearn? I don't know. Given the fact that 3B seems to have a very good young player as the incumbent and Mayo appears to have an arm that could be quite a weapon in the OF, can the O's live with a little less foot speed in RF? I think it's worth finding out if he can play there.

      When your offense stinks and you can’t score runs, you do things that you might not do ordinarily.

      Mayo coming back up

      By survivedc · Posted

      Mountcastle had no feel for the outfield. He took terrible routes, showed no knack for playing the ball off the wall and didn’t know which base to throw the ball to. Acting like it was an athleticism thing is disingenuous.

      We have plenty of guys on the injured list. I suppose for me it's a question of whether you want Bowman or Young eligible for the postseason

      Mayo coming back up

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      What does a first baseman have to do that Mayo does poorly? Stretch, catch, including managing awkward throws in the dirt, and what else exactly? Reflexes, throwing quick and accurate are skills for any position. What is unique to 1B that Mayo can’t do? And if he can’t play first, where the job is stand and catch, where CAN he play?
