16 spring training

[tedman2012]

good to see most of the players in early this year . i think it would be very funny if the o's sign fowler and nolan ends up taking the job . fowler to me a wasting a pick and a lot of money . galdo if the money is right ok but not a huge fan of giving up 2 draft picks for these guys .

lets get it on here we come 2016 let's go o's .

Fowler seems okay but I don't know if he's a guy I'd want to give up a pick for. I'd rather see them go a one year route with a David Murphy (if he's someone that doesn't come attached with a pick) guy and maybe try to find someone better next year. A couple of years ago I would've really liked Bruce but his decline after the All-Star breaks the past couple of years is alarming. Really wish we didn't overpay on Davis since there wasn't really a market for him and could've used some of that money to lure in Cespedes as well.

chris lee since joining the o's he was at 90 - 91 stros now he is 95-97 mph . that is nice to see from a 22 yo guy highest pitched is 140 ish innings . got to love a lhp . strange to see a lot of hints about wright becoming a late inning guy . i would still like to see britton back as a starter but that boat has sailed with the o's . lets go o's

We have a solid 8th and 9th inning tandem, no way would I want to rock the boat on that and change things up.

but will we pay britton the money in the near future ?

I'd like to think so but with Dan Duquette in charge, who knows.

 

[tedman2012]

well they have galdo 3 years with option for 4th .

What's the word with Bundy? Is he going to start on the DL or start on the roster opening day. I know he has to be on the MLB team but is he healthy now?

I haven't heard of any more injuries hampering him at the moment so he's likely to start the season in the bullpen.

I didn't like giving up a 1st pick for Galdo but Dan doesn't have much to work with. Still don't like Gausman as a starter, I would rather see him in the middle for an inning.. 2 at the most, he is a HR risk!

The only problem is is that we really haven't had much to work with in the starter department. The guys we've been sending out there are at best 3-5 guys. Bundy was supposed to change that but injuries have definitely derailed that, at least for a while at best until he can build up his endurance to become a starter again. Harvey at least can still have some more time in the minors to come back from injury to see if he will be worth the investment.

I just hate this having to give up picks when you sign guys garbage. Hope that gets fixed in the next collective bargaining agreement because it's ruining some guys chances of getting signed that normally would've been signed by now otherwise.

In my opinion if any of the pitchers are not walking batters or giving up the homerun ball then everything else will take care of itself....pitching that is.

i remember o's fans saying the same thing about another young pitcher...jake arrieta

i'm glad fowler bailed on the o's. we would have wasted at least half the season trying to make him the starting rf and lead-off batter until we finally gave up and tried to dump him on a desperate contender at the trade deadline. he saved us the disappointment. let him be kyle schwarber's late inning defensive replacement in chicago.

I know, its only spring training however, 2 outings and 2 poor performances out of the gate. If this is what we have to look forward to, we are in trouble. Let's cross our fingers this is not who we thought we were. Lol...

 

[mikeytheman247]

Encina also writes that Jimmy Paredes is likely to miss significant time after suffering a sprained left wrist in an attempt at a diving catch in yesterday’s Grapefruit League contest. Paredes said he knew the injury was serious because his wrist and hand immediately went numb, though he’s thankful to have avoided a fracture.

I just hope that they are getting all of the awful performances out of the way when it doesn't matter and turn it on when the regular season opens up. I hope that I'm wrong on this but I think that right now, we're going to be a 4th place team with Tampa Bay finishing behind us. That RF slot not being solidified by anyone yet I think is a problem, along with the SP again. I hope that Tillman can turn it around and be the pitcher he was a couple of years ago and some of these other guys can consistently turn in good outings so we don't have to go to our bullpen around the 5th or 6th inning every night.

Kim looks like absolute dog shit at the plate. Ryan fucking Flaherty is looking like Ty Cobb compared to him.
