Sure but neither guy is rated as high as 8 of the guys on this team. 8. That makes zero sense considering what we gave up. One top 5 guy would have been nice. 

Ortiz is literally a top 100 prospect. Ranked #45 in baseball according to Fangraphs. Behind only Holliday, Basallo, Mayo, and Kjerstad. That's top 5....Holliday, Basallo, and Mayo are/were pipedreams, and Kjerstad is an OF which we have zero need of.

Ortiz is also hitting .313/.450/.375 with potential plus plus defense anywhere on the IF. Remember, we lose Willy Adames after this season....

Hall is a former top 100 prospect who mowed down the World Series champions in the postseason last year and comes into this season with an 11.4 K rate/2.44 FIP and 3-4 plus to plus plus pitches.

The Orioles farm system is historically great. That should be the only takeaway right now.

Well, it looked very familiar from yesterday.

I saw tweets from Orioles fans when the trade was made saying how they fleeced us. I tend to agree. Burnes was worth more than what we got for him. Neither Hall nor Ortiz was a top 5 prospect in their farm system.

Hall was a top 5 prospect in their system but his prospect eligibility expired last season.

Ortiz would be a top 5 prospect if he was still in their system, per Pipeline and Fangraphs....

We'll see who got the better deal. Sometimes we don't know how these things play out for a couple of seasons.

Just because Orioles fans….or anyone else thinks we should have gotten more doesn’t make it so.

The market obviously spoke……nobody made a better offer or Arnold would have taken it

BTV (not the gospel) also had it as an overpay by the Orioles, fwiw. Burnes is great but the Orioles only get him for one season.

I guess we shall see and getting two major league players is nothing to sneeze at. Hopefully Hall can find his fastball then it will look a ton better. 

[RobertCrawley]

Ok. Enough of this.

Not sure there’s a guy I trust right now in the pen.

You can probably extend that to the entire pitching staff.

[Underachiever]

Tough crowd.

 

[jason21nl]

The boys are swinging it though 

[RobertCrawley]

Too much plate for Abner.

[Bulldogboy]

I didn't know Miley was starting tomorrow. I hope he's ready to go 5 at least. 

[Bulldogboy]

Ump is brutal 

[yfinn6]

The Reds eating up a lot of innings with one reliever was a solid move. 

[MoreTrife]

Not sure who but get someone warming up! This is gonna go bad fast!

[jason21nl]

I repeat.  No faith in the pen

[MrTPlush]

Wake up Contreras, my oh my.

[RobertCrawley]

Slider moved well that time.

And that time.

Game over.

[Underachiever]

Nice win. 

 

[jason21nl]

Nice!   

[markedman5]

I might be getting too old for the Abner Uribe experience…….lol

 

Good win

[Underachiever]

Lot to like about tonight. 9 runs, 13 hits, 6-15 RISP, Ross goes 6.1, Frelick is hitting, Perkins looks good. 

Too tight at the end, but I'll take it.
