Nice write-up. I would have been more impressed if you turned Adam Lind into a verb. For example, Baltimore might be weary of Chris Davis Adam Linding his career.

I think the most important question here is… how the hell does Joe Blanton make $8 million dollars a year?
vtadave
He doesn’t – at least not anymore.

Durability pays.

Being that I’m too lazy to look up these guys salaries from last year….how much of an increase in salary would this add to next years payroll?
I’m all for doing a long term deal with Wieters and signing Reynolds and Johnson to a 2 year deal at maybe $6-7 million per season. I’d negotiate with O’Day, Matusz, and Davis on a one year deal to avoid arbitration. The rest I’d go thru arbitration or let them go. I can’t see Hunter and Reimold winning in arbitration.

Taylor Teagarden was a late game hero for the Orioles this year, and he played solid defense. I’d be surprised if they don’t bring him back.

I loved the bullpen this past year, but bullpens are notoriously fickle, and I’d be surprised if we offer o’day and johnson anything more than a 1 year deal.

1st Congrats to Delmon Young for the ALCS! I was one of the few that believed in you outside the Tigers organization.
Justin Verlander is the man! Now, you’re probable wondering why I mentioned two Tigers.
Well here’s the explanation.
1.) The Orioles don’t have a # 1 and the Tigers do! Duquette and Angelos don’t seem to think the O’s need one or they already got one somewhere. Having a proven # strengthens a rotation! Tigers proved that to me last night.
2.) The Orioles don’t have a consistent hitter in their line-up. The whole lot of them were hot and cold all year long. To an extent Delmon Young got that job done in the ALCS, where the Orioles hitters did not (ALDS)
If Andino left, I would miss him. Andino is my Favorite Oriole.
Roberts has lost his range, Flaherty has “NO” range!
Teagarden confuses me, I liked Paulino. However, look who won the battle.
I would let Reynolds go and bring in Swisher.
Jim Johnson did a nice job all year long and struggled a bit in the ALDS. As to why who knows.
PS CD is AL, ha! AL is a better fielder! Plus, no verbing CD!

The big thing I got out of that is that your favorite Oriole is a guy who just hit .211/.283/.305.

Haha, true. Andino had an uneven year.
So did a lot of 2nd baseman
Jemile Weeks for the A’s and a few others. Even Cano in someways (Beginning of the Season and the ALCS.)
I just think it would be a mistake to let Andino go.

Having a really good pitcher strengthens a rotation? You don’t say…
This was a very strange post.

I think they think they have one in Bundy and possibly a second one in Gausman.

I wonder how much the Orioles would commit to Johnson? I’d be fairly wary of a reliever that doesn’t miss a lot of bats, but then again, pretty good results this year. Maybe 2/13 would be fair?

Andino is a tough call actually.
On paper from a distance, it’s easy enough. He looks like a role player middle infielder, dime a dozen guy. Though in this clubhouse, he’s a extremely feisty prideful character with a lot of very tight relationships with important personalities (Jones, Showalter, Roberts, etc..) who has made symbolic significant contributions (Curse of Andino etc..). Showalter also values his type of Super Utility skills.
That said, Duquette seems to make a lot choices without emotion. So it isn’t unreasonable he cuts him loose.

Except for our total lack of depth at 2nd base. Unless Schoop goes nuts there next year or we are convinced Flaherty is the guy, I don’t see who plays there next year. And don’t say BRob.
