the more i think about it we probably don't need to sign any reliever other than a minor league deal + spring training invite this offseason

johnson / gregg / patton / rapada / strop should all be in the pen.

simon/arrieta - one of them will definitely not be in the starting rotation unless they really fuck this offseason up or we are hit by injuries in spring training so one of them can pitch out of the pen, perhaps both.

rvh / bergesen / jo jo - one of them can be the long reliever

so yeah, give out a couple st invites but other than that no need to guarantee any money to any relievers to big league contracts this offseason.


couldn't agree more.

Not to mention we still have guys like Klein/Berken/Steve Johnson that could end up getting time next year.
Klein was bound to be a September call up before his injury.

Miggy trade - We had no need for him since we were going to be bad with him and Luke Scott has been good for us. Patton is starting to pitch very well, Albers and Sarfate were both hot and cold in the pen. Overall it was an okay trade.

Bedard trade - Great trade at the time that turned into a good trade. Adam Jones is the best player on the team, Mickolio and Butler never panned out, Tillman is a shell of his former self, Sherrill was good until we traded him. It just sucks when you look back and think what if we got Votto for Bedard like was rumored back when Bedard was on the market.

Hernandez trade - Did nothing. Waring will never be anything, Freel never did anything, Justin Turner could have made this trade a good one if the O's didn't let him go.

Trade for Pie - Did nothing. Pie was awful and Olson + Williamson never did anything.

Trade for Andino - Good trade. Traded a one time top prospect who clearly was never going to make it for a UTIL player who has done well this season.

Salazar trade - Did nothing. Meredith was hot and cold as a reliever, not sure where he even plays now.

Zaun trade - Did nothing. Hughes is now suspended for performance enhancing drugs and never did anything in his brief stint in Baltimore.

Huff trade - Good trade due to the fact Jacobson was then used to obtain Hardy.

Millwood trade - Okay trade. We needed an innings eater and that's what Millwood did. He didn't have a good year in Baltimore but Chris Ray and Ben Snyder aren't doing anything either. Millwood pitched great under Buck I still think they should have tried to keep him for a million or two.

Fox trade - Did nothing. Wolf never amounted to anything, same with Fox

2nd Miggy trade - Can't answer. Pelzer still has a shot to make it to Baltimore in the next year or two. Won't be able to give a true answer on this until we get to see Pelzer.

Ohman trade - Did nothing. We had no need for a LOOGY on a terrible team and RVH at least had potential (and still does).

David Hernandez for Mark Reynolds trade - Okay trade. We gave up a promising reliever who is likely a future star closer for a 3B who can't field but has massive power. I would have said this trade did nothing if Reynolds hasn't looked good at 1B. I remember I argued for days and days on here and on other Orioles forums we should have tried as hard as we could to trade Tillman instead of Hernandez and I was called a fool because Tillman has TOR potential. Yeah, as usual I was right.

JJ Hardy trade - Incredible trade. Spare parts for an elite SS.

Lee trade - Okay trade. As a trade it did nothing since it was a salary dump but it opened the door for Davis to finish the year at 1B and eventually led to us finding out Reynolds can play a good 1B.

Koji trade - Good trade. Davis likely doesn't pan out to be the player so many once thought he could be but he can still be of use as a bench player backing up 1B/3B/DH or playing 3B next season if we don't get an upgrade. I am a fan of Tommy Hunter and think he can be a good #3/#4 starter for us.

Gonzalez trade - Incredible trade. Traded an expiring contract reliever who was hot for a guy that looks like he may be the future closer and has looked amazing in his time here.

Also, just relized Sherrill for Josh Bell wasn't in that list. That was another trade that did nothing.

Overall AM has been good at trading, he hasn't come out on the losing end in any trade so far. Pretty sad when that's the only thing you can tip your hat at regarding AM that he never lost a trade lol.
