Dickerson'...Roger you're forgetting defense. Dickerson's defense is not good although it might be marginally better than a couple guys who will play every day regardless.<br />And his OBP isn't good.<br />Dyson has excellent defense and we need defense. We don't need another lumbering slugger.<br />Dyson would be better and if Dickerson is acquired via trade before hitting waivers, we'd have to pay his salary so the cost difference beteeen the two would be nil.<br />Dyson has more of what we need.Piphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853470978165087046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-63719956536707056462018-02-18T22:17:05.126-05:002018-02-18T22:17:05.126-05:00PT, I guess so.

Dickerson on the other hand - .500 SLG and .809 OPS at OPACY.... and he was not good at the Trop so that may explain a few things. But he was even better at Fenway (.850+ OPS), Yankee Stad (.930+), and Rogers (.950+). Seems like a no-brainer for me on Dickerson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-63468348586001848232018-02-18T21:33:13.678-05:002018-02-18T21:33:13.678-05:00Roger, I think Odirizzi would've been pretty d...Roger, I think Odirizzi would've been pretty dreadful in Baltimore, especially with our atrocious outfield defense.<br />Collin McHugh would be a far better target, although I don't know if Dan sees any value in trying to pick him up.

I could swear that's exactly what the O's need. Further Odorizzi and Dickerson are so cheap that they could still afford to bring in Cobb or Lynn and be a real team.... Maybe they can still get Dickerson....<br /><br />Getting kinda tired of the injury fear crap. I guess Machado has no value because he's busted up a couple of knees. And Bundy needs to be released because he's only had one injury free season. I really thought these guys were more intelligent about reasonable risk/reward analysis. Garcia has had two injury free years - it should have been old news.<br /><br />And Garcia signed for two years except the second year has an option attached. With a $2M buyout, he gets either 1/10 or 2/16. He wins either way. Higher AAV and another shot at FA or two guaranteed years at the rate he was projected to make. That is a deal that should have been perfect for the O's. They try to win this year and if they tank the next, they could just drop him. Just stupid on the part of the O's. I think Garcia judged that being #5 on a winner is better than being #3 on a loser.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-89019013474112592902018-02-17T19:48:32.205-05:002018-02-17T19:48:32.205-05:00I can believe they passed on Garcia considering hi...I can believe they passed on Garcia considering his injury history.

He seems possible for the Orioles, but who knows. Under the new compensation rules, I believe the O's would have to forfeit their second-round pick if they sign him.<br /><br />If Cashner is performing well enough for a No. 3 or 4 starter, considering his reasonable contract, he's movable. The return might not be great, but they could get something decent for him.<br /><br />I'd favor the Vargas deal over Cashner's, but I don't think it's that big of a difference.<br /><br />Matt Kremnitzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15693430925266947705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-30430278146623890722018-02-16T18:28:41.962-05:002018-02-16T18:28:41.962-05:00"Whose 2/16 contract..."

He's still available, isn't he? <br />Was it because DD didn't like the QO he got from the Cardinals or because they thought he'd be too expensive? Or both?<br />If they actually think they'll be competitive for a WC spot, it seems he was the guy to go after. And if it appears they'll fail, they could've shipped him off for prospects at the trade deadline.

I have a feeling that Nestor is our new lefty starter. Maybe someone can dig up the old "Tommy John Predictors" spreadsheet. The big thing about Gallardo is that he was at the top of that list and, of course, the first thing that happened after the O's doctors put up red flags after his physical is that he spent his first time on the DL with shoulder issues. Depending upon where Cashner falls on that TJ predictor chart, that is the main thing that makes him like or not like Gallardo. If Cashner stays healthier than Gallardo did in his time with the O's then he will pitch better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
