I wouldn't be shocked if LGJ was playing LF for the Bisons in a week or so.

 

He's blocked on the IF by younger and better prospects and in the OF there's Alford.

[FrozenRopes]

Got himself an early case of the Knoblauchs

[BlueRocky]

Only other thing I can think off is that they want the first overall pick and tank completely

 

They’re only 1 game behind the worst team in the tankathon. Currently would draft 3rd in 2020.

 

Still I have a hard time believing we will only win 50 games this year with Vladdy and possibly Biggio on his way up.

 

Even if we sell our entire rotation in July we might win 60 games. Being the Baltimore Orioles is actually a very hard thing to do.

 

Gurriel bat' says "infielder"

 

Perhaps. But where do you see him playing in 2020-2021?

I don’t see how he beats out Vlad, Bichette, Smith, Biggio, Groshans, Tellez, or even Galvis right now for any infield playing time. Unless you feel like he’s a first basemen and platoon him with Rowdy. He might eventually have to go try some outfield in Buffalo.

[Abomination]

Just watch us claim Brad Miller now.

[P2F]

Yup. And who we gonna lose now off the 40...starting to question Atkins slightly now. Brito and Hansen are complete jokes.

 

Brito and Hanson were literally free.

[saskjayfan]

Just watch us claim Brad Miller now.

 

he'd be better than sogard

[Brownie19]

Brito and Hanson were literally free.

 

I don't know if I'd say that. They cost us every time they play.

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

FREE ... in the fine print you will see ,

They both came with a Contract and

You are paying them half a million dollars!

 

That does not sound like ummm Free !!!!

 

And on the back if you Flip it over ...

 

The have Exceeded their Best Before Date

 

Into the Garbage with em !!!

[Barkerfan23]

Atkins thinks Brito has a huge upside

[saskjayfan]

Atkins thinks Brito has a huge upside

 

revenue potential? Do people come out to see if a guy can break a hit less streak?

[Ray]

This thread and place has become so toxic since this rebuild started. I get being realistic about a players upside, but some posters on here are almost cheering for their own young players to fail just so they can feel 5 minutes of validation and say they were right all along. God forbid we let these 25 year olds try to figure it out instead of writing them off and wanting them to fail.

Montoyo seems like an awesome guy to work for.

[Carlos Danger]

Montoyo seems like an awesome guy to work for.

 

There is a debate about that on Baseball Central right now ref the Drury/Teo play. Barker saying he should have done everything down in the tunnel out of public eye last night.

 

Montoyo for good or bad was very public with his emotions last night and no guessing what words were coming out of his mouth and that he was hitting s***.

I had stopped watching by that point. Did he chew the two out in the dugout after the incident?

He was throwing s***, hitting s***, f-bombs galore coming out of his mouth, pacing up and down the dugout... I think Drury and Teo were still coming back to the dugout or were on the other side.. It wasn't directed at them FTF, but is was definitely not behind the scenes in the tunnel type deal.

Ok as I always say do not confuse

ones PASSION with ones ANGER !!!

 

They are not the Same ... Never !!!

Well that was a pretty bonehead play by Drury. I'm not surprised he flipped out. That's little league s***.

Sometimes with a young team you need the kick in the ass vs the pat on the back. Message was sent....Charlie won't tolerate f*** ups very long. I support him in this respect.

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

It's incredibly hard to manage idiots.

 

10x worse if they are a Millionaire

 

100x worse if they are a teams superstar(s)

 

And still a idiot too ... I would think !

[tercet]

Gurriel was never good, won't be good, and it is simple a waste of time to even give him a shot.

 

He fluked his way into a hitting streak last year that he will never replicate.

 

Im ok with giving some players shots, but Gurribabip never deserved one.

1B coach, Teo and Drury all to blame, yeah, LL s***.

No idea why you keep referring to him this way... his BABIP was never even that high.

During his streak yea it was, besides that he has what a 500 ops?

[tbad]

Handpicking a small sample is even worse. What does his OPS have to do with his BABIP? Just stop calling him Gurribabip it doesn't even make sense.
