The Gooch had something like a 6.5 WAR in three years before an injury plagued 4th. He was a solid starter if not an all star.

They're off YES? Here in Canada Sportsnet will broadcast a handful of Yankee games all season from YES on days the Jays don't play or if they have rain delays/postponed games.... That sucks....

Great. Now they're still definitely still mediocre. And they lose their first round pick in what's an already desolate farm system. All just to be a game or two better, and still behind the Jays, BoSox and Yankees. Excellent work.

So an average offensive player who sucks at defense, and has to move to a corner spot, negating his primary source of value from playing cf, and forces them to give up another draft pick to further cripple a depleted farm. Excellent.

I don't get what Baltimore is thinking at all. They've spent most of their money this offseason on guys who were on the team last year. They've spent $53 million on O'Day, Weiters and Davis. Add in Trumbo's $9 mil and now they're $62 million in on 3 guys who were there last year and a league average bat who can't catch.

Just to put that in perspective, that could've bought them Justin Upton, Jordan Zimmerman and Johnny Cueto. I know Weiters taking the qualifying offer came ( RKO) outta nowhere, but to blow that kind of money and literally not improve at all is hysterical.

That doesn't even include Kim's modest deal and whatever it is they're gonna hand too Fowler.

What a clusterfuck offseason in Baltimore.

This offseason mostly flew by (certainly helps when your team doesn't start its offseason until November) but shit, this is going to be a long 6 weeks before the opener. Can't wait.

Guess I should work on my predictions. Pretty sure I've worked out my NL playoff picks (although injuries and shit in ST could change things).

AL is a whole other story. No fucking clue about that one. I see a few teams in the AL that I think will wind up being mediocre but I don't see any apparent dumpster fires that will help me with prediction division winners. Could see the top 6 picks in the 2017 draft all being NL teams because of how many crap teams are in that league.

Possibly one of the most exciting offseasons we've had in a while in terms of signings.

My NL predictions are Dodgers, Cubs and Nationals for the divisions, Cardinals and Mets for the wildcards.

AL is a little tougher. I think it'll be Houston, Detroit and Boston with the Royals and Rays as my wildcards.

Looking through past prediction history, I definitely tend to do better in terms of picking the playoff teams correctly for the NL. Partly because that league had less balance for a while and partly because it was the league I was way more familiar with.

My World Series predictions though have been atrocious, which I suppose is totally understandable given that the playoffs themselves are a crapshoot and trying to pick a winner 7 months early is nothing but a shot in the dark. Since I started doing regular predictions, my World Series picks have been:

2010: Yankees over Cardinals
2011: Phillies over Yankees
2012: Yankees over Diamondbacks
2013: Nationals over Angels
2014: Cardinals over Tigers
2015: Dodgers over Angels

jesus...I hate the Yankees and all that but they sure were my "when in doubt, just guess the Yankees" team for a while. Probably because they were until recently the one AL team I always felt comfortable assuming would make the playoffs.

oday is #8 on mlbs top 10 RP right now
Wieters can hit (as evidenced by his # in 14 before he got hurt .308/.338/.500 5 hr in 26 games) This being first full season back I expect his bat to come around as well.
Davis is Davis

The Orioles won't ever pay big $$$ for pitching so saying they could have gotten Cuetto and Zimmermann for what they gave those 3 is ridiculous.
I still see all the moves made as upgrades. Chen being the only major FA they lost was replaced with Gallardo for 1/2 as much money. He's essentially the same pitcher just not left handed.Gallardo gets flack for giving up hrs but Chen gave up 28 last year so..twice as many as Gallardo.

How is bringing back 3 guys they already had least year an "upgrade"? That doesn't make sense.

Saying them adding big pitching isn't ridiculous. Just because they have some dumb organizational stance on signing pitchers to big money (instead of one tool first basemen) doesn't make the fact that they blew money better spent elsewhere ridiculous.

What's ridiculous is they've poured tons of money into 2016 and they've only marginally improved their chances of winning. They're not better than the Red Sox, their pitching isn't anywhere Tampa's, their offense can't touch Toronto's. The only team they maybe match up with is New York. Maybe.

I love that you're trying to sell O'Day. He's been great for them
Wonderful. Now they're going to pay market value for him, in a position that has high turnover and is obscenely volatile. Remember when Jim Johnson was an "elite" reliever?

Weiters could bounce back. That one was out of their hands. Davis' deal is DOA. Everybody knows he's never gonna live up to the deal and nobody thought out bidding themselves, which will shortly prove to be futile, was a great, good or ever decent idea.

They could've instead spent that money on actually improving the team across the board instead of just repeating last year's roster and getting marginal players like Kim and Trumbo and a #3 starter.
