The Rays and the Giants are two teams that need to be doing something, imo. The Rays need to jump at every chance they get to make the playoffs and they need more in the pen.

The Giants are the craziest to me. The can win the WS if Lincecum and Cain are hot in October. They just need to add a couple of bats. They seem like a team that should step up and make a strong push for a guy like Scott. Huff would work for them too, but Scott would be the better choice due to his contract.

Taylor Green isn't a main piece, but I agree that I'd love to have him.

A Cubs package could potentially be centered around 21-year old AA RHSP Jay Jackson along with someone like 2B/SS/3B'man Ryan Flaherty or SS Hak-Ju Lee.

Sorry Greg ...But I dont think I'd be interested in a light hitting SS or 2B. The Orioles are in bad need of Heavy hitting 3B or 1B. I hope AM's on my side on this one.

I agree, the Giants are the team that have the most to gain by adding a bat or two, because their corner bats are very poor except for Sandoval. They'd probably have to offer us Alderson to get Luke Scott, but they're one of the few teams that has enough good young pitching in their system to be able to contemplate trading someone like Alderson. Even if they don't want to pony up for Luke Scott, they should easily be able to come up with enough to get us to part with Aubrey Huff.

Huff for Conor Gillaspie, Ehire Adrianza, & Scott Barnes. Too much? Too little?

Way way too much, considering that Gillaspie was their first round draft pick last year and considering that Barnes has terrific numbers pitching in the California League.

But you wouldn't have to offer up that much to get Aubrey Huff if I were the GM.

I'm with SG: Barnes alone would be good enough.

Gillaspie at the beginning of this season would have been out of the conversation. But he is struggling at A+, which is not what you want to see from a college player with an MLB contract. They probably aren't going to bail on him this quickly, though.

EDIT: Gillaspie not struggling at High A but still somewhat disappointing given the league and the Giants' expectations.

No offense, but if Hendry offers that package for Sherill, I will personally go to Chicago and slap him upside the head. It's not that I am overrating the Cubs prospects, because they are intriguing prospects, is that the Cubs already have a lefty reliever who is doing just as fine as Sherrill already on the team in Sean Marshall (If Ryan shows he still has gas in the tank, then Marshall will stretch out as a starter, but until then Marshall is our lefty in the pen). And the main difference between Marshall and Sherrill is that Sherrill has saves. The Cubs don't need a closer, and certaintly don't need to pay the price for a closer. If Baltimore asks for that package for Sherrill, then Hendry better call Washington cause Joe Biemel or Sean Burnett would be better "value" trades for the Cubs then Sherrill.

Marshall has been good in the pen, but I would rather have Sherrill late in a tight game... most anyone would. It's possible the Cubs are interested, and it will take a similar deal as I suggested to make it happen. I agree that there are other options out there, and don't expect to see a Cubs deal.

Not saying the Cubs need Sherrill, but they can have Marshall and Biemel and Ryan. They just won't be going to the playoffs this year, with any of those three. Marshall is good for what he does, and he has fit in this year after trying to start. The Cubs lost their other mainly lefty for the year. Biemel is overrated and has been, hence why he ended up in Washington and has not been doing well.

Insinuating that the Cubs won't make the playoffs without Sherril is pretty ridiculous.

Marshall has a 1.87 ERA as a reliever. He's been a phenomenal left handed specialist. He comes in in the 7th or 8th inning now and gets the job done. The fact that he can start is irrelevant to the fact that he's currently more valuable to them out of the pen.

The Cubs are a bad fit, they're pen is already very good. Guzman, Marshall, Gregg have all been solid. Heilman has improved, Jeff Stevens is now up after dominating the minor leagues, the biggest question mark they have is probably Marmol. Just saying, they don't need Sherril, sure any team could use him, but there's no reason for the Cubs to give up much more than maybe Jose Ascanio, Sam Fuld, and then maybe Ryan Flaherty. Pursuing a trade with another team is likely the best course of action.

Where did I say that? In fact, I said I was NOT saying that they needed him. I just stated if they stuck with the guys they have, or went out to get the guys that were mentioned that they wouldn't make the playoffs. No one is saying that they would make the playoffs by going to get Sherrill.

The Cubs have to do something to improve. Yeah, they are 3-0 since the Break, but they also played the Nats. I am a Cubs fan by the way, just so you know.

You're right, you didn't insinuate it, you flat out stated it.

Please REREAD it, then REREAD it again. There is nothing in that sentence, whatsoever, that states that the Cubs need Sherrill to go to the playoffs. It simply states that the Cubs will not go to the playoffs with Marshall, Beimel or Ryan. PERIOD. Nothing more, nothing less. You are reading the insinuation into it. I am flat out telling you there is no insinuation, and I am Sherrill's brother. There is no need for me to insinuate that any team needs him, regardless of what team it is.

      Aaron Hicks (Update: Signed by the Orioles to replace Mullins)

      By SilentJames · Posted

      Hicks has been fine, but he is a bandaid and all signs point to this being his ceiling, not his floor. He is not meant to be a longterm solution, or even a midterm solution so I am fine with it. The fact he is contributing in this way is gravy.  See: Carpenter, Matthew

      FCL Orioles 2023

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      He's on the DSL Black team so no, they didn't have him make the jump. It's rare for a guy to make that jump mid-season mostly due to VISA issues so I don't think we see him stateside until next year.  Still, lots of interesting guys in the FCL this year offensively. Pitching like throughout the system looks to be the weak point. We'll see. Maybe some guys surprise.

      If I'm Melanie Newman

      By DEOriolesfan · Posted

      Newman is totally fine as the pre and post game host. She has done a nice job with that. Her PBP abilities are a different story. I would argue what she does isn't so much PBP but more just chit-chat between pitches. It makes it hard to watch and listen to. I muted the TV on Friday night and synched up the radio broadcast.  Ryan Wagner is dearly missed as the public address guy. I thought he was fantastic. O's decided to promote within (and check a box) and the woman who is doing it now is very boring and doesn't have any energy.

      Hicks is making a good first impression both offensively and defensive.  A 1208 OPS tends to do that.  But he can't maintain that and no one should expect him to.   His career has been plagued with injuries which make it questionable if he can stay healthy for the O's for the rest to the season.    But he is playing well now so we should enjoy it while it lasts.

      TT: Hyde's bullpen management is going to sink this team unless he changes

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      For now!  Again, our concerns are that the overuse will affect the team later in the season.  Let's take Cano for example. The most innings Cano has ever thrown as a pro (Not counting his Cuban time) was 69.2 IP in 42 games in 2021 between AA and AAA. He is currently on pace for 69 games and 85.1 IP at the major league level, and 77 games and 93 IP if you count his minor league usage. Last year, Tate (67 games and 73.2 IP), Baker (66 games and 69.2 IP), Bautista (65g and 65.2 IP) and Perez (66 and 57.2 IP) were all used in similar amounts of games, but none were within 15 innings of Cano's projected innings. Other members of the bullpen projections: Baumann   71 games and 86 innings Bautista     74 games and 77 innings Baker         77 games and 71 innings Coulombe 71 games and 58.2 innings So that's five relievers with projected games at 70 or more. I tried to do a little research and was not able to come up with any team that had five relievers with 70 or more games in a season. Now maybe someone will find a team and that's fine, but I still think this is going to catch up with the team in the second half if Hyde/Orioles don't find a way to start using bulk relievers to take the workload down off these five guys.

      yeah, the Orioles looked good in the two wins, solid pitching, just good play all around. Cobb is having some kind of renaissance right now he's been doing what he did to us all over so sometimes you just get beat.  Really nice to see the team jump on a pitcher that is struggling early, seems like they let them off the hook too much.

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      For me, I like the idea of keeping him around over Vavra or perhaps McKenna. Hicks has been injured a lot, playing in only 307 games of a possible 600 or so since 2019. He did play in 130 games last year, however. He’s a switch-hitting veteran bat with playoff experience, and seems to fit in the clubhouse. We’ll see how his health holds up, but if he is used correctly it could be one of those additions we look back on favorably after the season. I don’t want it to get in the way of Cowser coming up, however.
