So you give up 2 top 100 prospects for 2 seasons and a limited second half? I’m glad you’re not in control. I know we’re currently a bit spoiled with the tanking and better front office. But I don’t see why you’d want to give up 3-4 players that include 2 of those guys. -
I’ll be sure to do that, though hopefully he won’t give anyone a reason to jump off. It’s kind of interesting to compare his power to Cowser’s. Cowser has the type where when he really barrels it up, he absolutely destroys a ball, often 440 feet or more. But Kjerstad has the type where he can hit homers even when he gets a little under the ball. You initially don’t think it will carry, and then it clears the fence rather easily. I don’t see that with Cowser, he has less margin for error. -
I’d raise a glass to that. -
I don't think Elias will trade Westburg. For me he is the O's starting LF next year. Mostly because he is easier to change positions than Holliday or Mayo. LF/3B/2B Westburg, CF/OF Cowser, RF/DH Kjerstad I think likely targets for Elias are Scherzer or Flaherty. Either could be a #3 the way they are pitching. I would see Elias extending Flaherty before he becomes a FA. Both the Rangers and Tigers are likely sellers at the deadline. Elias can probably get either starter without trading Holliday, Basallo, Mayo or Kjerstad. Bradfield, Norby, Stowers, Beavers, Fabian, Hovarth, Pham are among the players I see as most tradable. The thought of trading Monthcastle or Santander at the deadline does not seem likely at all to me. -

Great step for McDermott but hopefully he can follow this up with a few good starts. Seems like between he, Povich and Johnson we have some real Jeckyl and Hyde guys. One day they are the best pitcher in International League and the next they can’t get through 3 innings. -
My thinking is very few broadcasters should be in the O's HOF, and only reserved for great broadcasters with long tenures and who were loved by the fans. Using that criteria, I'd only have Chuck Thompson and Jon Miller in the O's HOF. I think it cheapens the award to have Manfra and Angel in it. If those two guys made it, then why not Mel Proctor?? IMO, he was a much better baseball broadcaster than either of them, even though he had a relatively short tenure. As for Thorne, he's a very good broadcaster in general but he made way too many obvious mistakes and didn't know baseball well at all. -

17-8 is a good goal. I’m thinking 15-10 or 16-9 is more likely.
