Rolle Tide

There was some suggestion of the same thing on the Orioles board. I wonder how you guys would be feeling if that was the return for Cease. I think Burnes has the better overall numbers but one less year of control. There is hope on the Brewers board that Hall can go back to the rotation. I know he’s preparing for a shot a the rotation. I think his success will be as a high leverage reliever

Maybe the O’s sale makes some funds available that would encourage some movement.

Hopefully Rubenstein is buying a toy rather than an investment

I’m not a White Sox fan and this was my first thought. Obviously Getz sights are much higher than a guy with a 300 OBP in his last 2 full seasons.

If they aren’t interested…you move to another guy. Maybe they send money with him, it seems unlikely but not impossible.

He got money from a team that literally has an unlimited supply. There is clearly a problem with the financial system when they make all of those big signings and still have a measly $11 million for this chump.

I’m not afraid of anything….My thought on Stowers is the Orioles haven’t given him a fair shake. He hit to a low 7 OPS in his first taste 2 years ago and then just like Cowser had 30 at bats that accounted for playing once per week. I agree with you guys on 1 thing….Their values are decreasing (Ortiz and Stowers) based on the way they are being handled by Hyde and Elias. You simply can’t prove anything going from playing everyday in the minor to once a week up here. On Stowers, I could see him being a .250 ish hitter with 20-25 homers in the bigs playing a mediocre COF. Probably having a 25 or so % Krate. That plays for a while and perhaps he will get moved somewhere that he is valued. I think Hyde cares more about defense than production as he chose Mateo stinking it up.

And you honestly think Cowser and Ortiz are spare parts. You don’t believe that

So Cowser and Ortiz are just spare parts …. I can’t fix stupid

Cowser and Ortiz aren’t spare parts ….and if they are interested in veterans bats. Santander would be a good third or 4th piece. But keep making your bullshit up if it makes you feel good.

I guess no different than Justgottabelieve intentionally making up lies to bandwagon the insults and piling on right?

What insults? Here accused me of saying something I didn’t and adding stupid emojis to get rep votes from guys like you. He was wrong and what he said was categorically untrue.Im calling him out for telling a lie.

So for the record here is what I said …… Also said this ….. Perhaps you should spend more time getting your facts right.

Who said that….Are you guys really stooping low enough to actually make s%*# up. Talk about lack of integrity.

In a word NO

I don’t personally subscribe to BP or BA. Was Joey Ortiz in their previous top 101. I’m waiting to see MLBs updated list.

Yeah … Seriously. I can’t imagine how this remotely makes sense. I wonder what he thinks of Cowser who really struggled in his 1st attempt this year.

Honestly, if Elias wasn’t even in the zip code in regards to players we wouldn’t continue to hear that talks continue, the Orioles are front runners, etc.

He’s a drama Queen here and there. That’s a deal we could absorb and live with

He isn’t Mike Elias…but, I’d be surprised if you could get Kjerstad. If your looking for good defense he’s probably not your guy. 3 Ofs and a 3B …interesting ask. How about Cowser, Norby, Hovath, and Beavers ?

Fangraphs blows! 40 hit? LOL ? he was a top rated prospects before he cleared those rankings. Had 27 homers and more than 100 RBIs in 2022 between AA/AAA with a .870 OPS. Last year he had 18 homeruns and a .939 OPS before being called up, he’s ,370 OBP in the minors. M bettong he puts up an OBP of .350ish with an .815+OPS and 20-25 homeruns this season,

What’s wrong with Westburg?

They are asking for 2 top 100 prospects and 2 other highly rated organizational prospects. So I’m not sure how you are basing it on 2 guys.

I’ve mentioned this before about Manny Machado. The Orioles dilly dallied around with dealing Manny and the return was disappointing by many on the Orioles board. Right now it’s two year so your right that there is time.
