A few things
“The young guys have to step it up, because they know what our needs are…” said Juan Samuel.—- CAUSE YOU CLEARLY DON’T
I don’t get why they are mind-fucking Tillman either. He hasn’t been up all year but he’s had the same year the rest have had. Somehow everyone else is immune from Norfolk though it seems.
The longer we go without a new manager, the harder it gets for me to watch this debacle. Hopefully the few bright spots continue to shine and make this season worth something.

I'm guessing
it’s because they already burned the option with him and he’s the youngest, so in their minds, that means he needs the extra time at AAA. At least in 2 week spurts.

Luke Scott is ridiculous
I was looking up his stats last night on B-R.con for a blog post. On May 4 he was hitting .177 with 3 HR. Since then he’s hit about .350 with 14 HR, while missing 3 weeks with the bad hammy. We know it won’t last, but this is one of the most sustained runs of production he’s had.

Yeah it's easy to forget how long he's actually been doing well
He started off so miserably but ever since he turned it on, he’s been awesome.
Oh and now we’re warming up Uehara. He’ll die. He will actually DIE if he pitches in this heat. -KenDixonFanClub
He gets waaaaay too much flak around here
His OPS+ is 151. His slash line is .295/.364/.583. That’s an OPS of .946. That is insane. Alot of people want Dunn as the DH, but statistically Luke is having as good a year or better (plus i’d take his defense over Dunn’s any day). Luke is a beast, and he doesn’t get enough love for it because it comes in insane spurts rather than in consistent play. I mean, I picked him up off the waiver wire as a FA in a Camden Chat fantasy league! It’s all Orioles fans! WTF!?
And yes, I know Dunn has been historically better. My point isn’t that it’s better to have Luke than Dunn, but rather that this year Luke has been at least as good as Dunn and we have nothing to show for it. Replacing Luke with Dunn probably makes very little if any difference.
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
the line'll be
that he does it all in two weeks and then is a bad person and a worse hitter the rest of the season…but that hasn’t really been the exact case this year. Still, Scott’s 32 and this is like textbook selling high. Which is some good news in a world where everything has turned to ash on my tongue.
I can't describe the way it feels...
Oh yea
I’m all for trading him now. He’ll never be worth more, and that isn’t hyperbole.
As far as the him doing it all in 2 weeks stuff, who cares? If we aren’t winning when he’s red hot, what would be the benefit of him spreading it out? Sure, we wouldn’t have to watch those awful cold streaks, but it really wouldn’t be any different in the standings. We lose when he’s hot, we lose when he’s cold. We just lose.
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
I don't like him personally
He’s a very good hitter from time to time and an adequate fielder. He’s having an absurdly good season and for that reason I’d like him off the team as quickly as possible for as big a return as possible.

Considering his first year will be when he's 28
His dad’s last pretty good year was at 32, but he’s a better hitter than his dad was. I think 5 or 6 years at around 15M per is reasonable. So 6 years for 90M seems like a good deal. I’m fine with 6 for 100M. That might not get him though. I would offer the same to Adrian Gonzalez too, since he’s 2 years older but he should age better.

I agree with this
And, unfortunately, the O’s will have to overbid to get him.
Don't mess with the bull, young man. You'll get the horns.
Tex and Howard are making between 20 and 25 mil every year
I wouldnt do 7 years (like Tex) but I could live with a 5 year deal (like Howard). I don’t think I could deal with 25 mil a year though. Judging by ops+, Howard and Fielder have been extremely similar players while having played almost the same amount of games. However, Howard is 4 years older (which is why I think his deal was quite stupid). If he wants Howard money, i’d probably decline. The max i’d probably go is 5 years, 100 mil.
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
Yeah I was just about to type this
With Howard getting $25M and Teixeira getting $22.5M per year, there’s no way $15M will get Fielder. He’ll be 28, so giving him a six year deal would probably take him through as long as we wanted him. I’d rather do five but when you’re the Orioles you gotta do what you gotta do. I could see six years, $130M or something like that.
Oh and now we’re warming up Uehara. He’ll die. He will actually DIE if he pitches in this heat. -KenDixonFanClub
True
At that point i would sooner throw a longer deal at A-gonz because i think he’ll age better. I think Fielder will be DH only at that point in his contract and he wont be as productive. A-gonz i’d be comfortable with 7 years for 130M-150M.
If you use Howards contract as a baseline, how much does Pujols get then? Howards contract was insane, if you think Pujols is 150% better you are looking at 37.5M per. Insane. Howards agent is a genious.

FWIW, I'd contend that Fielder is going to age a lot better than people think
He has a bad body, but by all accounts, he works out like crazy, is a vegan, and his defense at first is actually quite underrated. I don’t think his dad is a great comp for him.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
Who would you use as a comp?
I looked at Vaughn and Cecil, but you think there’d be a better one for his body type/work ethic?
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
Comps are something of a sucker's game...
…but my inclination is to say Frank Thomas.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
I'd be overjoyed if that was the case
I think with his body his knees will be shot before long, but it’d be great. Regardless, I dint think i’d go longer than 6 years, and that’s really when Mo Vaughn started declining (fell of a cliff) anyway, so either way, it’s all good.
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
Yeah
The same injury bug hit Thomas too, and I think that Fielder will have his share of injuries as he ages. But the thing with Thomas unlike Vaughn or Cecil was that even though he couldn’t stay on the field all the time, his skills when he played didn’t diminish the way that others did. I think Fielder is likely to retain his skills even as his health deteriorates.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
His athleticism and durability
Fielder played in all but two games in 2008, played in every game in 2009, and has played in every game in 2010. He’s also had very strong range factors at first – better than Carlos Pena, Derrek Lee, and Kevin Youklis, all of whom are know for strong defense at first. This is shown in his similarity scores through age 25 – Eddie Murray, Will Clark, Mark Teixeira, Kent Hrbek, and of course, Thomas.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
swoon
I LOVE Frank Thomas.
I’ve heard the vegan and working out stuff, but the fact is that Fielder is huge. That can’t be good for his body as he ages even if he does keep himself good shape for a person of that size. He’s listed as 5’11" 270 but he’s gotta be bigger than that.
Oh and now we’re warming up Uehara. He’ll die. He will actually DIE if he pitches in this heat. -KenDixonFanClub
Thomas was huge
Dunn is huge. There isn’t a risk-free move you can make. Fielder has been fantastic and has somehow been underrated. If you want to buy a bat the next two years, there isn’t a better bet that I can see who we have any reasonable shot at.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
oh yeah I'm not saying I don't want him
I totally do. I think he’d be great for the team and will be great for years. But it is something to think about.
Also, Frank Thomas’ kind of huge is a little different than Prince Fielder. Thomas is probably 6 inches taller than Fielder and when he was 28 probably weighed the same that Fielder does at 5’11".
Oh and now we’re warming up Uehara. He’ll die. He will actually DIE if he pitches in this heat. -KenDixonFanClub
To be clear...
When I say max is 5/100, I mean that’s probably the max annual i’d want to throw out. I’d probably be willing to add a year at a lower annual salary (6/110 maybe), but I dont think i’d exceed 6 years.
Of course, this all depends on what leverage we have (basically, who is already off the board). If AGon, Pujols, and any other viable options are off the board, we might have to do a bit more, which at that point I might be desperate enough to consider.
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
The thing is...
…neither A-Gon nor Pujols is ever coming here. Really, there is no price that I think we could get either one.
I’d go 5/125 for Fielder. I think that trumps what he’s likely to get elsewhere, I think the high annual would get him to concede on the overall length, and I think we’d need to make an offer that is well ahead of other clubs to bring him here. And I think that overpaying by a bit is justified, because it helps bring the franchise credibility, and because we shouldn’t be wasting multimillion dollar deals on 1 win players.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
Maybe
I could probably be sold on 6/125, but even 5/125 is feasible if he puts up good numbers over the next season and a half. the 5/100 or 6/110 is what i’d be willing to pay, but if we were to sign him at 5/125 (if his skills dont noticably decline by 2012) I wouldnt be pissed. It’s not my money or my job on the line.
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
And I think that overpaying by a bit is justified,
I think we’re getting to the point where we HAVE to overpay for a few free agents, and have the ability to do so. The catch is we have to be damn sure they’re the right players. It’ll take a few years of being competitive with overpaid players before we can convince anyone to come here on a market deal.
The gut reaction is to say its smart to never overpay for free agents, but right now I’m looking at it as a baseball activation energy. There will be a necessary period where we expend a good deal of resources in a brief period to reach a point where we can become stable for a long period of time on less. Its just a matter of expending that burst of resources in the right direction. Choose the wrong overdraft players or the wrong free agents and we’re both penniless and terrible.
"baseball activation energy"
I’m too tired to expand this analogy, but I approve.

but then again, I guess I knew enough about chemistry to get this as well, so looks like i’m a nerd.
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
The thing is...
….once you commit to not paying $9M for a Millwood, not paying $6M for a Tejada, not paying $4.5 for an Atkins, you can add a Fielder at $25M and still come out with a similar overall payroll on balance.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
Fielder is what there is
There aren’t going to be a lot of options on the free agent market worth the investment. Maybe you make a run at Crawford, but he’s probably another one who won’t come here no matter the offer.

SS
Who knows there, i doubt one of those three is ready in the next 4 years. If you’ve got the rest of the lineup performing well then I dont think you have to worry about having a hitter there, just a great glove. I like the idea of overpaying for Fielder/A-gonz over Crawford (1B is of more need, and huge power is more necessary than speed/OBP). Having a top 1B makes that lineup instantly very respectable (especially with more years of development for our young players).

Yeah
Impossible to say really until we see some pro performance from Givens and Machado – most evaluators seem to think Machado can move fast, but who knows? Really sucked that Givens was lost for the year so quickly too.
I think we’ll have big questions in center and left also – a lot rides on Jones becoming more than he’s shown to date and our somehow making something work in left. But adding an elite bat to our lineup like Fielder would have a huge impact.

Boras has stated he wants a Tex type deal for Prince
http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2010/07/13/scott-boras-wants-a-mark-teixeira-deal-for-prince-fielder/
Of course, that isn’t going to happen. One thing working in the O’s favor would be a depressed market for him. The Red Sox and Cubs would present the most likely competition, but the Sox have V-mart / Youk as 1B options and the Cubs are already hampered by some bloated contracts (Zambrano & Soriano most notably). The Braves could be in the running as well at that time.
So I think it would be to the O’s advantage to offer 6 years / $130-$140. I would doubt any NL club would go for 6 years due to the concerns regarding his aging profile. And the only potential serious competition from an AL club could be the Red Sox if they A) decide not to keep V-Mart at 1B or B) fail to acquire Gonzo. Maybe the Rangers could be a wild card if Chris Davis doesn’t work out for them.

The Red Sox pose a huge threat
VMart’s contract is up this year, and they have no C other than him. If they do resign him, it’s probably as a catcher (which is pretty bad). They could move him to 1st and Youk to 3rd when Beltre is gone, but I dont see them settling with that long term unless they find a viable C replacement. They’ve been after AGon for some time, and if that doesnt happen I see them pressing hard for Fielder. They have alot of money power to drive up the price too. It’d almost be beneficial for us if the Sox land Gonzalez.
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
It's hard for me to see
The Red Sox clearly don’t love Fielder like they do A-Gon, or there would have been trade rumors about them already. And if they don’t make a move, they have two pretty strong 1b prospects in Rizzo and Anderson. Word is they are negotiating to get Iannetta from the Rockies for catcher.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
The Red Sox clearly don’t love Fielder like they do A-Gon,
It’s probably due to their different defensive values. Prince is pretty bad (negative UZR in 3 out of the last four years and -8.0 this year) while A-Gon’s UZR numbers are better (not great either though).
