They don’t have a top farm system because they draft so much better than everyone else. If that’s the model the Orioles want to follow I suppose you can be competitive often but never really a consistent contender to win a World Series and you also get to see your team constantly unload their best players every few years. It’s not the worst model for a small market team but I think I’d also be frustrated by it as a fan. Most ML players should never see arb 2 or arb 3 money. Let someone else pay for production you should be getting for the league minimum. Tampa is cheap but they are also smart, they recognize this.

I’ve seen Mustard on crackers and Mayo with a sprinkle of Old Bay on a sandwich. I personally don’t use sauce. By the way, I visited a Shula’s recently and they served a remoulade with their crab cake. The food was really good but that sauce was disgusting. Here is one of many good places if you like Maryland style crab cakes. They will send them to you ? https://gandmcrabcakes.com/24-oz-crab-cake-tub-bulk

It is only 15 minutes away from BWI. I miss that place. Give me some G&M crab cakes and Portillo's Italian Beef. ?

Not sure if that is still an issue but they do/did make an excellent crab cake. If you ever ate them at the Peppermill they are fantastic too.

January 4, 20242 yr Btw, can we screw this Cease talk? I want to know what you guys want to do with the first pick and if you want to trade Fields? That’s a fascinating discussion imo.

Only 1 of the last 20 champs used this approach (Royals).

The latter has a location close to the airport as well.

Teams do win when they have a lot of poor money spent but the less dumb money on your books, the better. More and more teams are wising up but there are still a lot of dumb teams out there in terms of how they spend money.
January 4, 20242 yr So I'm moving to Norfolk in March. Am I close enough to be an Orioles fan next season? Lord knows the White Sox will be unwatchable unless I'm in a self hating mood.
