You have been voted off Oriole Island for even suggesting we ever sign anyone named "Davis" who may be anywhere near 1st base. Enjoy your parting gift of Glen and Chris Davis bobbleheads.

It is my hope that he has a key hit to screw the Yankees at a really great time later this year.

It’s my hope that he stays in Norfolk

I guess they did have interest since they signed him. I'm hoping it's for minor league depth and not to send Mayo back to AAA.

That’s the question. If it’s a major league deal it has to be Coby that goes down.

It makes sense as depth. Have to see how long they give Coby.  

This. I love this deal if it's a minor league deal and Davis goes to AAA as a backup in case Mayo struggles. But I want Mayo to be given at least 2 more weeks. If he's struggling at a Holliday the first time level at that point, then Davis is a fine insurance policy.

Glad to see it's a minor league deal. Didn't see the O's optioning Mayo after only 12 ABs. Now if he goes 1-35 like Holliday did and looks overmatched, then sure, they won't hesitate. 

So far to me he doesn't look as overmatched as Holliday did.

Minor league deal. No complaints. Sure he has an opt out the last week of August in case any other contenders are interested.

Mayo is on notice.

 

Possible he could also be extra call up in September.

I'm OK with a minor league deal. I'd lose my mind if it was a major league deal.

A reminder: JD Davis is a butcher with the glove at 3B and doesn't have a bat. I'm OK with injury assurance for, say, Mountcastle. But I don't want this guy sniffing 3B with the O's.

I think he's better than Mayo at 3B right now. Mayo belongs at first or DH. Davis is pretty bad, but has experience and at least knows how to play the position. As a minor league deal it's fine since we have no depth. Mayo isn't hitting yet either, so we aren't doing anything unexpected.

Oh, I don't think Mayo should sniff 3B up here in the majors, but I'd rather Mayo's offensive upside. I'm just not convinced JD's glove at 3B is that much better (if at all) than Mayo's. And I'm very bearish on Mayo at 3B. I think he's Mark Reynolds, but he at least has the ability to get better over there. JD is who he is.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      The Orioles have a single regular reliever with an ERA under 3, and that's Coulombe and he's only been back less than a week. Last year they had 4: Bautista, Cano, and Coulombe. Name 2023 ERA 2024 ERA DIFF Yennier Cano 2.11 3.2 1.09 Cionel Perez 3.54 4.61 1.07 Danny Coulombe 2.81 2.2 -0.61 Jacob Webb 3.27 3.15 -0.12 Bryan Baker 3.6 5.01 1.41 Those are some pretty big dropoffs for Cano, Perez. And while Baker isn't a regular, he's certainly been abysmal aside from like a 3-4 week stretch. But it's not just a regression for Cano and Perez, but we also need to look at the guys masquerading/masqueraded as a closer this year in Kimbrel and Seranthony. Kimbrel had a 5.33 ERA, Seranthony with a 3.43. Between the 2 of them, that's nearly 3x worse performance than Bautista. Bowman has been serviceable, but imploded recently. Soto has been awesome for a spell, but he's had periods where things looked really off. The bullpen is absolutely the Achilles heel of this club. Their collective ERA is 4.26 this season. The Royals had the worst in the AL bullpens up until the O's imploded yet again last night. The Royals bullpen ERA is 4.21, btw. It is a major concern going into the playoffs.

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      I thought about Rivera,  but I figured his ability to play two positions would keep him around.    It will be interesting to see what they decide.     One of the non-pitchers will need to be left off as I understand it.     13 max

      By SteveA · Posted

      I think there's room to keep both.   Shed some bad bullpen arms like Baker and Bowman.   Either Rivera or Gregory Soto can go.   So even if you add McDermott you can keep both Slater and Kjerstad.

      Good information.  I would agree for sure if it was a one game series.  Assuming the series goes 3 games, would you keep Slater over Kjerstad?     I guess if we are prioritizing RH bats, then I’d drop Holliday.

      Look at who you replying to, it's his thing.   Means nothing, adds absolutely nothing to the discussion.   Put him on your ignore list.   2-1 so far They made the playoffs They won that night and clinched a playoff spot

      Understood. My comment was 100% above vibes. They went 2-4 over their last six and lost 3 of 4 to Seattle to drop out of the division and into the wildcard spot. It wasn't a months long limp like the Orioles, but that--at least in my book--counts as limping in. They had no apparent "momentum" going in, but still turned it around. That was the point.
