If a whole bunch of other things fell into (or out of) place, I'd welcome Matsui here as a DH. However, I think that's an "ankle bone" signing, and the team hasn't really decided who the "hip bone" is yet.

And I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that the Yankee$ cut Matsui loose, either.

In that case we can sign Damon.:eek::laughlol:

Matsui would be a good signing if the O's could get him here for a 2 year deal. He could split time between DH and 1b, with an occasional start in LF. He wouldn't prevent us from signing someone like Fielder or Gonzalez in a year or 2.

Scott is traded somewhere this offseason, so he could take Scott's spot.

Matsui is usually good for .360-380 OBP which would help the O's a lot.

If we're gonna form the A-Team here, I get to be Howling Mad Murdock. I won't accept any challenges on this.
I knew Murdock,(true) he was a friend of mine, and let me tell you, you're no Murdock.... and you should be glad, Dwight was nuttier in real life tha he ever was on the A-Team.:laughlol:

Its gonna be a long off-season...

I think we're getting set up for a whopper of a disappointing offseason. Largely standing pat.

Matsui made 13 million this year, I don't think he's going to be looking for any sort of pay cut, nothing significant at least. I don't think he'll be looking for a one year option kind of deal coming off a 28 homer season.

I don't think Abreu and Dunn were looking for pay cuts last year.

Wow...actual baseball congrats. At least you are consistent and "walked away" from this thread just liked you walked away from the OH.

I don't think he'll be looking for a 1 yr. Nor do I think we should give him one. I think a two-year, with a 3rd option at about 7-9 mil per sounds about right. Matsui is not getting anywhere near 13 mil a year; he'll make his money across a 2-3 yr deal in this baseball economy.

As Gordo pointed out, several other hitters waited out for big deals that weren't there. He'll meet the same end if he tries it.

Enough. Stop trying to pick a fight, and stick to the topic at hand.

Fine but this deserved the same reprimand:

Are you serious right here? I give you the final word and all you can say is "Thanks...."? I don't even get a snide, parting shot? Come on dude, I'm not asking for much here.

Let's try this again, from the top...

Alright dude, you can have the last word, it's all yours.

      Who will be our top AL East rival in 2024?

      By AlbNYfan · Posted

      According to the MLB standings, The Red Sox are only 6-12 against teams that are better than .500. Shockingly (I know this is about the AL East), but the maybe the AL East isn't presently the beast it usually is. The Central which has been lousy for a while appears to be much stronger. All but one team are over .500. Big change.

      What happens next? Mayo debut or Holliday back up?

      By baltfan · Posted

      Yep, Holliday is still scuffling a bit.  Mayo is going to have to kick down the door for him to push Westburg.  There have got to be teams out there looking to poach Norby.  Can’t imagine he is still here at the deadline.

      He is one of my favorite guys on the team. So happy for him. He didn’t moan when he got sent down last year.  He was grinding over the winter to get better and is working with someone on the mental side. Just a great story and now a guy that has forced his way into the rotation.

      He is a great story. We will have to continue to make room for him because he is the 90% outcome for many behind him.

      I think Cal's record was able to happen because of a time in O's history when there was no strong manager.  I doubt Cal's streak would have made it to one season if he had played his whole season under Weaver.  Weaver was way ahead of his time on matchups, platoons and resting players.  The  bigger thing about Cal's streak, imo was that it was allowed to happen, where it took on a life of it's own, dwarfing the team.  I'm not diminishing the feat, but there's rarely a player that plays 162 games in a year now.  It's just recognized that people wear down and need rest.  I want to say to that probably the 5 players behind Cal on the streak list did things to basically cheat and prolong their streak especially Gehrig, where he would hit once and then not play the rest of the game.

      Goes right back to Ted Williams. Get a good pitch to hit and drive it.

      There was an attempt to debunk this article in the other O'Hearn thread where it's the OP, but in it O'Hearn explains that his efforts to change launch angle and severely limit when he swings underlie the improved performance since coming to the Orioles.
