DCSaints_fan Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I kind of feel bad for Kim. Mancini and Smith are locking down the corner outfield. Is there any chance we can trade him for a shortstop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ubaldo is Bucks guy for whatever reason. I realize it's a managers job to show confidence in their staff but Buck would go to bat for him hard after he got rocked last season. I just can't quite figure out why a man who forgot more baseball than I know is loyal to a trash player like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd be able to move him, you won't get anything of value in return. Wright and Wilson are garbage and are just as bad. You could go with Edwin Jackson who they just brought in off the scrap heap but that's not a great plan. Not trying to stick up for him, but I also don't know who'd they replace him with. I also think Miley is just as awful. We've got two guaranteed **** starts in our rotation, it's not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine Bleier will be moved to a starting slot or get a shot in AAA first. Maybe Lee gets in a rhythm at Norfolk and gets another shot? If the O's are playing well into July without getting much from the 4 or 5 starters, they will have an interesting decision to make about whether they will go all in or just get more "pitching depth."

Yeah, I'd rather have Worley in there, too. Not sure how he hasn't been picked up by someone yet. It's not just the 4 and 5 starters I'm worried about...No signs of a return from Tillman. Bundy's the only one that's been able to go 6 innings so far this year. Gausman is still inconsistent and can't make it past 5. It's just not good.

I feel confident about those two if for no other reason that I don't even want to think of the O's rotation having THAT many holes in the rotation. BTW, I'm gonna see Sedlock pitch tomorrow down here in NC. I'm excited to see the Keys team this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do worry about Gausman, he's always been inefficient and while the season is still young and there's room to improve, he hasn't shown any changes. If Tillman can get healthy and pitch like he did last year and Bundy is for real, I like our chances. Gausman can throw a gem every so often. 4 and 5 are just garbage but we might have the offense to make up for it. Tell us about how Sedlock does, that should be a good time.

Pitchers will figure out his weaknesses and there will be some adjustments and opportunities for Kim, etc. But it would be great for Mancini to keep hitting!

We disagree about Gausman. He was awesome last year and if he had any run support at all he would have won 15-20 games. He lead the majors last year in most starts throwing 7 scoreless innings. Yes, he has sucked this years so far but he was also better in warmer weather last season. Anyway, I'm also excited to see guys like Hays (I think he advances quickly), Mountcastle and a couple others. I feel like the O's are actually going to develop their own outfielders now and we won't be platooning next season. I'll give a report when I get back. I probably won't see the entire game cause I'll have my 2 1/2 year old but we are sitting front row by the Keys dugout. 11 minutes ago, justice98 said: Who would you rather have in the lineup, Smith or Kim?

TheDoyler23 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Toronto has started the season 1-7. That's pretty damn rough. I expected a lot more of them, and still think a split of the 4 up there is a solid outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why am I Mr. Pink? Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I think we are still paying Belle. Much like we will be paying Chris Davis .. didnt he also do a long term spread out payment over 30 years or so? I think and hope Miley will be a servicable back end of rotation guy. I think he is our only leftie starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that there isn't much we can do now but I simply think this was an issue that needed to be hashed out prior to spring training. I understand Ubaldo really doesn't have a market, but I would have preferred him not be part of the 2017 plan in any capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
