Fuck yea.

take that Boston.

Mark Reynolds has:

36HR
85 RBI
71 BB
810 OPS

Not gonna get into the advanced peripheral stats, but Reynolds was clearly a great pickup for the Orioles this season.
He has been EXTREMELY better defensively at first base, and he has pretty much assured himself of that spot next season unless the Orioles sign a Prince Fielder (lol i dream)

Was thinking about next season (might as well):


Our bullpen could have 2 lefties in it (i doubt more than that but you never know)
Possibilities:

Zach Phillips
Troy Patton
Jo-Jo Reyes
Clay Rapada

I am not going to count Rapada because the team will decide whether he is valuable to the club based off of whether Patton or Phillips can handle the role of Rapada.

Phillips has actually been pretty effective this season (1.86 BAA in 5.2 innings). He has mostly worked in Lefty heavy situations. I think he could make Rapada expendable.
Patton has been decent in his time as well. He plays the same role as Phillips imo. One of these guys should and probably will make the club.
Jo-Jo has actually been pretty effective since joining the pen. He can play the role of long reliever and can also come in for an inning or two and get outs in Lefty heavy situations.


Overall i think it should be a healthy battle for this spot next season. I expect 2 of these 4 to make it (this is all assuming no other pitchers are picked up)

Left-handers are 4-for-46 against Clay Rapada this season.

Miss that little fucker

Through 81 PA, Matt Angle only has a wOBA of .268 . Not exactly the kind of number you want from an Angle type of player. #Orioles

Ryan Adams' stat-line is more interesting. .391 BABIP, .333 OBP, wOBA .298 . Expected to see a little more pop from him though. #Orioles

I still am a huge Adams fan, but he needs to finish up strong and have a good spring to make the club feel as if he can be everyday player
