  1. Remove four players currently in the roster? Yikes. Who are you willing to lose to take this chance? In addition to pagan?
  2. Excellent post.
  3. League average plate appearances for a RF? No. Not close. Gallo was better than Max last year.....
  4. And, Sands is 100% best served as a RP. Probably Henriquez also, but he's so young, so maybe not yet.
  5. Agreed. Plus, 100-120 innings would put Ober around league median.....not a great starter in terms of number of starts, but I think he can start 15 games a year and be valuable in that role.
  6. Chris P: Can Jordan Balazovic turn it around to become a starter long term?Keith Law: Yes. I don’t think he was healthy at all last year.
  7. I also have a few others that aren't.....but, the two accounts I "play" in killed me last year when I refused to sell at "small" losses. Sigh. Lesson learned.
  8. I have more than a few stocks down over 70% from what I paid, so, not great Bob.......
  9. I mean, only 90 or so pitchers did that last year......I'd be happy with 80-100 this year and see what happens.
  10. Fangraphs has Povich the 8th best oriole prospect.... but they state he has a real chance to jump up the rankings. They do like him.
  11. They can't do that yet. He can't be put on the injured list yet. And they aren't DFA him. Which free agent should they sign?
  12. No room for larnach? He's the DH isn't he?
  13. What? Paddock isn't planned for this year at all?
  14. I really want henriquez in the pen. I agree, he could be a difference maker.
  15. Which free agent do you want? That you are sure it's better than internal options, many of whom have options?
  16. So, no real issue at all. Just, what?
  17. I never thought they were trading him. Last year fell apart due to an insane number of OF injuries (and other stuff)......They don't want to use OFers 6-8 all at the same time again. Also, if Gallo doesn't rebound.....also, if Larnach is hurt.....or if Kiriloff is.....or whatever. That said, if Larnach and Kiriloff are healthy and productive, I hope they bench Kepler unless he suddenly starts hitting.
  18. Ya, I totally don't get the whole rounding thing at all.....like, I don't get standard deviation either.
  19. You think signing an ok RP is the difference between fireable and not?
  20. 2020 and 2021 are rounding errors from the average. Is this really a concern?
  21. Which elite RP do you think they should sign right now?
  22. we will forgo getting rocked and/or building length when we eventually start our younger guys - Ober, Winder, Varland, and SWR; ........ None of those are happening. I guess I didn't understand what this meant. Nor did you really address the main point about starters going longer....
  23. You realize this was not the strategy before last year, right? When they had Archer and Bundy (both bad and hurt) and Ryan who was a rookie (wanted to limit his innings so he didn't tire like Lopez)? Not to mention some injuries? I guess if you assume they will get rocked when they start every other starter, well, why even try to get better if you just assume they will fail anyway?
  24. It's almost like people forget this was NOT the strategy before last year, when they had injured and bad starters. I have no idea why anyone thinks it will be the same as last year. none. I also see no need to add any of the available RPers. I'm not 100% sure they are better than the existing options, especially if Alcala is healthy. If they are in at the break, and need a RP, and a great one is there, they will trade for them.
