Drew: And I have a feeling there might be "more right" to come soon. They're hot on the trail of #KevinGregg and waiting to hear from DLee.

Ummm, how is "Orioles think they've agreed with #DerrekLee" from their original tweet equivalent to "waiting to hear from DLee" in that last tweet?

:noidea:

I'm surprised Nestor doesn't have severe arthritis in his shoulder from all the patting himself on the back he does.

A few months back he essentially took credit for creating sports talk radio in Baltimore and followed that up with taking credit for the success/careers of his current staff as well as that of Rob Long, Phil Backert, Casey Willett, and everyone else who had the -ahem- good fortune of working for WNST. Rob, Phil, Casey, and those guys had NOTHING to do with it, I guess?

I find his sense of self-importance equally frightening and amusing.

Hey! I worked for WNST..

Oops :2yay-thumb:

Now WNST is demanding an apology:

@WNST

Drew: Phase 1 of the #OriolesHangout apology can begin in....5....4....3....2....1. Second time in a week WNST has been right! LOL

More:

@WNST

Drew: For those of you who do have faith in us, thank you. We delivered on #Konerko and #Reynolds. Lots of sources "singing" to us.

@WNST

Drew: LOL x 10 at the folks at the OH...can't stand for us to be right even a little bit...taking down threads. What hypocrites they are.

And another prediction:

@WNST

Drew: And I have a feeling there might be "more right" to come soon. They're hot on the trail of #KevinGregg and waiting to hear from DLee.

A. Everything he "broke" has been speculated upon for the last few days. His "source" came through around the same time as Olney et. al. came through as well.

B. No threads were taken down. Threads were merged. We do it all the time.

C. Nothing on this website that we've posted as front page content has EVER had anything to do with any other media outlets. When that starts happening, the sports are no longer the story. Making yourself the story, while clever from a marketing sense for those dim enough to play along, is mildly pathetic.

I see Nestor's sense of self-importance is apparently contagious.

These guys certainly are obnoxious, but I would love it if they were right about Lee. I don't care too much for Gregg (mostly b/c of cost) but we are going to need bullpen help, especially if we trade for a SS.

Here's one for you Drew: We apologize for allowing any drivel that comes out of your "tweets" to waste bandwidth here at the Hangout. You are irrelevant and tweeting "scoops" that come from other people's reporting is just ridiculous. If you had a real scoop you would have had the entire deal out there. Olney reported Mickolio, you just parroted what everyone else was hearing.

Go get a cracker you Poly.

Also, stop worrying about what we do or say. The six people that actually listen to you don't visit the Hangout anyways and honestly, anyone that actually wastes enough brain cells listening to that crap show you have on the frizzled haired midget home-based radio station, doesn't need to worry about posting too often here at the Hangout.

Is that a good enough apology?

I'd love it if they were right, too! Consistent bashing of the competition because "we were first, you weren't, and you didn't say we said it first" is obnoxious and currently (in my opinion) the prime reason local sports fans are so polarized by that radio station...some love 'em, most hate 'em.

And I still love the delicious irony of at least two of their on-air talents denouncing what we do here. "It's the internet. The Orioles Hangout is not 'real' media." A little more than a year later and the owner's taken to re-branding themselves as a "web media company". Wait a sec...didn't you just say we weren't legit BECAUSE we're a web-based outlet? :rofl:

I listen to Drew every morning and I read the Hangout everyday. I wonder what that says about me? :noidea:

Actually, it does appear that original Reynolds thread is gone...it had well over 200 posts..The one saying NST is reporting...

Either way, i think its funny that Drew takes shot at OH.

When he came on here and had to actually discuss baseball and was challenged in his opinions, he ran away like a big wuss bag. All he could say is PA sucks...which I do agree with but when you actually had to break him down into baseball analysis, he was seemingly scared because he really doesn't know what he is talking about...although, he makes Glenn Clark look like Bill James.

      How should we look at FA contracts going forward?

      By Too Tall · Posted

      This is spot on. If Rubenstein means what he says, (Eilas/Sigbot will run the show) the question is what will Elias do with more resourses? How is Elias going to meld free agencey with a bigger budget and team needs going forward. I do not see Sigbot buying into long term high dollar deals for pitching. Particularly for 30 plus year old pitching. I feel any long term deals will be calculated around mutual advantage for team and player with as little risk as possible. I sure don't see Sigbot paying out eight years for three to four years potential benefit.

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Well first of all, how are you defining an impact starter?  I would guess you didn’t think Bradish would make an impact. I think out of Povich or McDermott that one of them can give us good enough starter innings. How much of an impact? Who knows. Ceiling is definitely higher with them than Kremer though.  Is Kremer an impact guy. Did you think he would be 2-3 years ago? Now, a guy like Luis DeLeon?  High impact potential there.  And we will see with guys like Baumeister, who we have seen so little of so far. You don’t have to spend 9 figures to invest in pitching. You can trade for it. That’s an investment.   You can make more sensible FA signings.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By MTMan13 · Posted

      If I’m writing the checks, I test out Gunnar, Holliday, Cowser, and Adley in that order.  IMO Gunnar is the obvious choice. Not because others aren’t deserving, but because Gunnar has the potential to get MUCH more expensive than he would be to extend today. Hes a realistic MVP candidate, plays great defense at a premium position, and will hit FA at 27.  The Witt contract at 11/288 ($26mm aav) as a starting point is actually a great DEAL relative to the average of the top 5 3B / SS contracts, which all orbit $30-$35mm AAV, and before any natural inflation over the next years of team control. Said differently, we would likely save $5-10mm per year by extending Gunnar now, which seems like a no brainer to me.   I don’t think the value of Burnes / Adley (finished products, too close to FA), or Holliday (generationally wealthy family) will change much between now and the decision point. Gunnar’s will only go up . Cowser wasn’t mentioned, and it’s probably not realistic for chemistry reasons until at least Santander has hit FA, but we may be looking at a 35 HR type of bat with solid defense. I’d like to lock that up.

      Agree with this.   The number one priority should be locking up Henderson, Holliday, and to a lesser extent, Adley.   Not that I don't want Adley around...I'm just not sure how many years you want to invest in a catcher.   Making a deal for a guy like Burnes this year could be an annual/semi-annual kind of thing.   Maybe you splurge one year and trade for a guy with two years left before FA where you may have to give up a bigger prospect.    I don't think it's smart to have long-term money in pitching.

      By Matt Bennett · Posted

      Based on the current state of the organization, I'm curious to see what this homegrown rotation looks like. What are the odds there's an impact SP in Seth Johnson, Chayce McDermott, and Cade Povich? Pretty low. What are the odds all 3 are busts? Pretty low. A likely median scenario is you have 1 serviceable SP, a reliever, and a bust. Or something along those lines.  I for one am much happier Burnes is in the rotation rather than Bassit, Eovaldi, or someone of that caliber. My preference would have been both once we learned about the Bradish + Means injuries. This time, we paid for the Burnes type front of the rotation pitcher in years of prospect control. I don't think that will always be a luxury we can afford.  Almost an entirely homegrown lineup and a GM who has shown the ability to piece together a productive bullpen. The rotation is where you strike. But it takes investments. No reason the Nationals can sign Scherzer and go win themselves a World Series and that avenue of success building is cut off to our collection of billionaire owners running a bottom 5 payroll currently.

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      I would go for older but still elite/above average guys in areas of need who will sign short term deals even if they are high AAV, like some of those Verlander and Nelson Cruz contracts. Sonny Gray would have been good this year. Not sure who the equivalent guys will be next year but I don't see us being in the market for 10+/$300+ type deals. At least I hope we aren't.

      I do not think the Orioles will spend >$200m on annual payroll anytime soon, but they have room to sign. Burnes Ace type every 3-6 years.    I would offer $150 over 5 years with incentives and options that could exceed $200m, to hedge a sunk cost for injuries.
