lol at trading adam jones. he's 24 with huge potential. yeah he needs better plate discipline and needs to improve BB/K, but tons of talent at the plate and in centerfield.
def trade wiggington he's at like peak value with the way he has played.
worried a bit about wieters. like to see him get a few more days off/dh more, especially as we head into summer.
i think d.trembley will be fired real soon. not totally his fault, but you got to make a change. 1/3 of the season is done and their play has been ridiculous.
yeah its doubly bad losing to the yankees, but the orioles are 6-21 against the al east. its not like theyve lost to the yankees and beat everyone else.
This is if they can stay healthy and their young pitching improves. Otherwise they may end up being relegated to the International League with the Durham Bulls being promoted to the AL East.
Is there any chance that this prediction early in the thread from January can still come true?
yeah, i mean it wasnt perfect or anything but qs and got the win. def something to build on.
matusz, arrieta, tillman plus bergesen, hernandez, they got some good young arms. it looks like hernandez could be better suited for late inning relief rather than starting. not sure he has enough quality pitches to make it as a starter. but, he was throwing some gas last night.
from a pitching standpoint they got some guys lined up that should be in place for many years. got to address the offense now and need to get younger and better. way too many holes in the lineup.
