I'll take one from Jim Palmer, who in the Spring og 1979 said, this team will be lucky to finish 4th -
I’m ok with Slater but I think they need to get a RHH or two that are better than Mountcastle. -
Actually what Elias said supports my comment very well. Melewski: One potential critique for the offense is the Orioles are too reliant on the home runs and slugging. Moving forward do you think that Is a valid critique? Does there need to be more variety? Whether its on base or other ways to score? Elias: I definite experienced the frustration of that. Who didn't. I've been around baseball and a lot of the very best information out there in baseball my entire life and career. And getting hits, getting RBI with runners in scoring position. There is a lot of evidence that can be hard to control on a year over year month to month basis. Its a tricky thing, Hitting. That said I am going to behave like it is under our control and we are going to examine everything about our offensive approach, teachings, the mix of personnel, the kind of things that you mentioned. And put ourselves in position to where we feel like we have addressed any shortcoming there. I don't necessarily believe its all chance. I do think there are things our organization, and ultimately our players will be able to do to improve our odds on that front. It's not a good experience going through that for months. Where we are struggling to get runs in from second base. That was not the case last year. We were great at it. With a lot of the same guys. I have a lot of confidence that can correct next year. Its going to involve some work by us. --------- Then his actions were to let the hitting coaches go. You can listen his answer here: Scroll to 27.24 -

Yeah but this goes for all the young guys, you only will get better with playing time and experience. He was the #2 pick in the draft and 1B/DH is currently occupied by Mounty and O’Hearn. We need Heston to hold down RF for at least one season. As for the RHH, I think Slater is our guy. I saw something that he’s had the most pinch hits in mlb over the last 3-4 seasons. That’s valuable in his role with all of the LHH we have. Even with his career worst 1st half, he still put up a .700+ OPS with us vs LHP. With the new WC rules, and all these teams competing, I just expect everyone to be looking to buy, or at least “not sell”. I expect a thin market for buying. -
It's a .500 team. A starting rotation right now of Efflin, GRod (if healthy), Kremer, Povich, Rogers (?). Pretty much the same lineup that struggled for 3+ months. An above average bullpen, maybe awesome if Bautista comes back in form. I'm guessing it's going to be a frustrating year without acquiring upgrades in the offseason. -
I do …Hate the Yankees and Red Sox with a passion
