Marlins really fleeced the O’s. No other way to put it. 

Eh.

If Norby and Stowers had the level of interest in them that I think they did the O's weren't going to get a difference maker for them anyway.

Is getting Rodgers for them (who is making under 2M) any worse that than getting rando non-prospects?

Of course if you think those two had real value, the equation is much different.

I’ve been high on Norby for awhile. And you don’t give up guys, even with some holes in his game, for a project arm that is still probably lingering with arm issues. Any keyboard warrior could simply look up his Statcast to see how awful he was.

They fleeced themselves. Maybe there’s something they can do to fix him but you don’t give up good players to get reclamation projects. You pick them up on the waiver wire like he normally does.

BR is a bit behind. Even still, I’d put money on Norby having a net positive career overall vs Rogers from here on out.

I'm not being pro Rodgers.

I just don't think Norby had any real trade value and that he wasn't going to play for the O's.

I think he had better value and Elias got desperate. Don’t disagree that he wouldn’t play for the O’s, they’re giving time to Eloy fercrissakes.

Exactly, we traded two guys who will never play for us for a pitcher who may or may not play for us. It's not exactly a win but it's not a loss, at least not yet, on either side

Responsible for 2 losses, no wins, over 7 ERA, stole starts from Povich are all net negatives to me. Also lost prospect capital.

    • In Grich’s case, I think his OBP skills weren’t appreciated at the time.  He was a .266 lifetime hitter in an era when that was maybe 10 points above average, but his .371 OBP was more like 45-50 points above average.  But OBP just wasn’t very valued at the time.  
    • We don’t have a current combo that is ideal. You have to go with the best possible grouping you have.
    • Yep, we're in agreement on the 70 rWAR threshold.  A championship would help Manny's cause, though I'm not sure if that's in the cards for him in the near future.  He needs a big moment on a big stage, too....as silly as that sounds, I do believe it matters in the eyes of some voters. Not to derail, but Whitaker is a guy that belongs in the HoF, too.  I'm not sure why Grich never got serious consideration.
    • I’ve always felt that 70 rWAR was the line between having to justify why someone shouldn’t be in the HOF versus justifying why they should.  In other words, if you’re over 70, there needs to be a reason for you NOT to be in.  There are 70 position players over 70 WAR, and the only ones not in are Bonds, Pujols (not yet eligible), Trout (not yet eligible), Rose, Bill Dahlen, Lou Whitaker, Raffy Palmeiro, Bobby Grich, and Carlos Beltran.  Really, only Dahlen, Whitaker and Grich have no obvious reason why they’re not in.  And I wouldn’t bet against Beltran getting in eventually.  He’s gotten  46% and 57% of the ballots his first two tries.  
    • Recency bias: "Is a common distorting effect within systems of performance appraisal. It refers to the appraiser assessing employee performance, not on work undertaken across the full performance management cycle, but only on recent events or activities that can be readily recalled. Recency bias can be countered by keeping a record of appraisee performance over the full period of work that is being appraised." https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803100407676
    • You're right, I shouldn't assume he's a hole. More of an unknown (11 career AB). Still, an outfield of Slater, one unknown, and one hole isn't exactly ideal. I think Mountcastle 1B/Santander RF is pretty clearly preferable to Santander 1B/Kjerstad RF vs LHP when you include defense.
    • I forget which game it was (Fri or Sat) but he also pulled a ball foul down the LF line that nearly snuck inside the pole. So he was close to having 2 HRs in the series
