I thought everyone here loved Donald not so long ago. What happened?

If AM hadn't foolishly given BRob that contract when he did and we needed a second baseman long term, then I would be ok with Donald. But it sounding like he won't stick at SS and he won't hit enough for third.

It is also discouraging that he is struggling at his age this year in AAA as well.

I would take him as the second player in the deal...but not the first.

Who else would we have to throw in with Sherrill to get Taylor? It'd have to be someone significant. And where did you see that he's projected to be a 1B? I don't see any references to that.

He's a beast though!

Buster Onley and Peter Gammons have mentioned he'll probably end up at 1B. But the kid has 20 SB's at 6'6 250 lbs. Wow!

With 8 teams in on Sherrill, I'd say that there is gonna be a battle for him. We're not trying to get Taylor... Philly's trying to get Sherrill.

If Hallady goes to Philly for Brown and Happ amoungst others, I'd say Philly won't move Taylor too. If a Halladay or Lee deal doesn't happen, we have a good shot at getting Taylor.

Wow, I never knew you were not on board with the Roberts extension. How come?

I think there is a very good chance that he will be worth the contract he signed.

But I also think that they should have held off on signing him until now and seen what the market for him was in terms of trade value.

He would have signed that 4/40 deal at any point...No way another team comes close to that.

But at that point Roberts might have said he might as well wait another couple months and just test free agency. Maybe someone doesn't offer him 4/40, but maybe he takes 4/32 to get a chance to win.

Taylor for Sherrill would be quite nice. I think MacPhail is looking for a two player return though.

Yep. AM is about obtaining inventory for our better chips. I would be very suprised if he did a 1 for 1.

Then you offer him the arbitration and take the 2 picks.

When it comes to Sherrill, I think a top prospect would allow him to do a 1 for 1. I think that would be valued as better than two mediocre prospects at this point.

      USA Today Panel picks Orioles last in AL East

      As in, another instance and you'd want him gone? Elias and the FO are building a foundation that will enable them to be a team I haven't witnessed in my lifetime - a consistent competitive team. I have 100% confidence in the process of the FO. Will every decision pan out? Of course not. But has the FO helped the organization more than any other FO in my lifetime? Without a doubt. My much greater concern is that Elias, Sig, et al leave because another organization realizes how valuable they are.

      Opening Day Is a 3:05 gane start at Csmden Yards.They  are going to open the gates three hours before the game?  Have not heard this but you may be right. Fenway which usually does an 11/2 gate opening ,is doing a 2 hour gate opening for Opening Day.

      Don't see a final roster posted yet.  If so, I missed it.

      On balance I think it's fair to expect the improved rotation and regressed bullpen will even out, so pitching overall for the team will remain about the same. Meanwhile the hitting should definitely improve!

      At 76.5 I'll take the over on the O's and pass on betting their place in the standings.  While I'm pretty upset with this past off season, I'm not quite ready to grab a pitchfork.  Given that Westburg and Cowser and several others could all be ready to contribute soon, Elias should have a fair amount of flexibility at the trade deadline.  Was that his strategy all along?  Beats the heck out of me, but if that's the case and we sit and watch another failure to launch (liftoff v2.0 anyone?) then most of the goodwill I have toward him evaporates overnight.  Bottom line?  The 2022 O's earned a bigger investment than they've received so far but it's not too late to fix it.

      Minor League CBA Now Signed

      By yark14 · Posted

      MLB and the newly-unionized minor leagues just struck a new CBA.  Doubles AAA salaries with even bigger raises for the lower minors.  Now minor leaguers *almost* make a liveable wage.

      I won't lie, I'm very concerned about not having Tate in the bullpen for a month or 2. Tate was our most reliable reliever. Hyde could always count on him to get the job done. I thought Givens could fill the gap, but now Givens is injured too. Someone is going to have to seriously step up for the bullpen. I'm also convinced that Tyler Wells has a limited number of innings he can be effective. We've seen what happened last year once he got beyond a certain threshold. (He got injured.) I think that after a couple months, we might see either Voth, Baumann, Hall, or Rodriguez take some starts in that rotation spot. Who it is, depends on how Rodriguez and Hall are doing in Norfolk. If one of them is dominating, that's who will get the call.
