I believe that's a record for the earliest BSOHL report.

Not that anyone but Vidor wanted us to beat that contract, but the rosy version is
Chris Davis has a 125 wRC+ Steamer projection
Matt Adams career vs RHP 128 wRC+
Matt Holliday career vs LHP 140 wRC+
If Holliday playing 1B isn't serious, then just put Piscotty there. Pham gives you an all-RH outfield against lefties.

Once again, guys, I feel the need to inform you that there is no salary cap in baseball. If the FO wasn't cheap and really wanted Davis, nothing is prohibiting them from signing him.haltz wrote:Not that anyone but Vidor wanted us to beat that contract, but the rosy version is

The fact that he's not worth it is prob. the most prohibitive.Swirls wrote:nothing is prohibiting them from signing him.

I may feel the need to bump this thread if we have another year of league-worst production at first base, though.

You can say the same thing a thousand times if you like but every single time it's going to be wrong if it was wrong the first time.

So you had no issue with the Leake contract correct?Swirls wrote:Once again, guys, I feel the need to inform you that there is no salary cap in baseball.

Re: Orioles sign Chris Davis 7/161
you should change that to "league-worst OPS." OPS isn't the best measure of production.Vidor wrote:I may feel the need to bump this thread if we have another year of league-worst production at first base, though.

Third from bottom in HR from first basemen. Dead last in slugging percentage from first basemen (.392). We do manage to shoot all the way up to 11th out of 15 on OBP, I guess because The Whiff King could take walks.Magneto2.0 wrote:You can say the same thing a thousand times if you like but every single time it's going to be wrong if it was wrong the first time.
But we didn't need an upgrade at first base or anything.

Re: Orioles sign Chris Davis 7/161
And FTR I am not frustrated that we failed to sign Davis per se, I'm frustrated that we failed to sign anyone other than Mike Leake. Look at that lineup. Tell me why anyone wouldn't conclude that they are going to score fewer runs than they did in 2015.
