2- Milton Bradley

3- A-Rod.

4- Kevin Youkilis.

5- Carl Pavano

6- Pedro Martinez

7 – A.J. Pierzynski

8- Carlos Gomez.

9- Jose Reyes

10- Gary Sheffield

I think Nyjer is gonna be high on his list this year.

Do you agree with the list? Who would you put on it?

Who would be the most hated Oriole for other teams?

I for one havent heard that much bad stuff about Youk but I dont pay much attention to the RedSox. His position on this list surprised me.

I think the Orioles are too milk toast to stir much passion in other teams but I would guess that Luke Scott probably pisses some teams off with his occasional bat flick and strut around the bases after a homerun. Pie really seemed to piss off the Angels(?) last year after his emotion after he hit for the cycle.

I think in a couple of years if Arrieta is good he will be hated. I think he will be the kind of guy to pitch inside and hit guys once in a while. I just think this guy could be dominate in the future. He is also supremely confident to the point of cockiness.

Jones could become super smug and perhaps too cocky but if he keeps sucking for major portions of the season and the fact he cant play centerfield worth a damn makes it unlikely he will stir the leagues passions against him too much.

Pie.

I love the guy, but I know he rubs guys the wrong way. (Scoscia for one).

I don't hate Pedro, but I didn't like him either. He was a GREAT pitcher, but I didn't like the fact that he threw at guys. Gerald Williams comes to mind. He hit him when he was in TB--when Tampa was terrible. And then when Williams gets pissed, he makes fun of him. But Pedro never had to pick up a bat in the AL. He was too good to do that.

I don't have a problem with any of the other guys on the list except for Youkilis. I'd add Brett Myers to this list. And Paul Lo Duca if he still played. JD Drew. I used to hate Bradley and Miguel Cabrera until I understood more about what makes them unlikeable. Sports Illustrated did a good article earlier this summer about guys with mental issues (anxiety and depression mostly); guys like Bradley, Votto, Snell, and Greinke.

      2024 Prospect Power Rankings

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      A couple of things that I find interesting, Yaqui Rivera - Acquired in the Tanner Scott/Cole Sulser trade with the Marlins. Juan Nunez - Acquired in the Jorge Lopez trade.   Creed Willems - still only 20 and already in A+.  He got off to a big start last year as well and then struggled the rest of the year.  We're a little spoiled with prospect success from the college guys and HS phenoms Mayo, Holliday, and Gunnar.  The HS position players take some time.

      Perez threw an inning of rehab last night with Norfolk.  His velocity was down about 1.5 MPH on his sinker, and everything was down a tick, but he was getting some work in and doesn't look too far away from being ready.

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By dystopia · Posted

      I don’t trust that guy to be very useful despite the strong start. He’s a good regression candidate. Would rather have Kopech.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By jabba72 · Posted

      O's have Fabian behind Bradfield and Mullins will likely decline after '25 when he becomes a FA. I think one of those two should be able to hold down CF. Beavers could be in the mix as well.

      Its a total joke that Wagner isn’t it in yet.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I see no dilemma. He’s under team control right now during his best season’s. When he becomes a FA he will be out of his prime. I mean I love Mullins as a player and what he brings. But when we are talking about priorities for extensions, he is nowhere near the top considering you have an MVP caliber 22 year old, an ultra talented top prospect who is 20, and your team leader is 25. Those 3 are the engine that will drive this bus toward postseason glory most probably, not Cedric Mullins. If the Yanks want to give him that kind of contract while we retain 2 out of the 3 if Henderson, Rutschman, and Holliday; then so be it!  What I shudder to think about is a prime Henderson or Holliday crushing it for one of our competitors so that we can have a declining CF. Didn’t we just do that the last go around? Where we choose to resign the (predictably) declining player while we let the younger/more talented player leave? Yes, I agree that Bradfield Jr’s development is important. But since Elias/Sig have been here they haven’t struck out on any first round picks. Also, if Bradfield proves to be a bust, they can always draft and/or develop another CF type.

      Thanks, I missed that detail probably multi-tasking in the game thread. I do think Kimbrel has a good shot*...Wagner should go in next cycle, and the electorate in the coming years will be wrestling with how Epstein, Friedman, etc. have improved per pitch efficiency by downsizing the workload literally any individual pitcher can shoulder.      There can't not be any Hall of Famers with all this run prevention going on.    I think now that he's officially retired Strasburg will be a good debate.    Bumgarner too, though I don't believe I've seen that guy yet admitting any retirement. *better shot if say he can get the last out of an important postseason series or three in 2024.
