    AL East PECOTA Projections

    It seems to me that the PECOTA team win projections underweight certain areas like defense metrics, bullpen effects and teams like the Royals and Orioles that have been stronger in those areas are routinely underpredicted in the team win loss projections. They then tend to use words like...

    AL East PECOTA Projections

    PECOTA projections typically underrate teams like Orioles. Last four years they have missed Os actual performance by total of 45 games across that time. And this year they have Os giving up 93 more runs than last year's team and scoring less runs than Tampa??? Hard to see. But these...

    Dan Duquette: Next President of BJs?

        Sure it is.  If you want to include the Browns history with the Orioles, feel free.  I have been an Orioles fan since 1965 but do not consider them to be the St. Louis Browns.   But, if that is the methodology, then we should go back to the original National League Baltimore Orioles...

    Dan Duquette: Next President of BJs?

    Well...lets see. Since the Orioles were created in 1954, they have 3 World Series championships and 3 other World Series appearances. They have 9 AL East division titles. Plenty of hardware and Nancy knows where the crabcakes are.

    Dan Duquette: Next President of BJs?

    Yeah, that Keith Law is usually right on the money. And when he was a Baltimore writer, he and Angelos had significant disputes which has biased Law against Os for years. And ZIPS had us in last place last year and in 2012. Snider and Steve Pearce in right will outproduce an aging Markakis...

    Dan Duquette: Next President of BJs?

    Contact was made by Ed Rogers, who is remarkably inept, with both Kenny Williams of White Sox and with Duquette without prior permission from either owner. And it was done the week before the winter meetings by a division rival and could have thrown a major wrench in offseason. But MLB and...

    Never underestimate Angelos stubbornness. Duquette going nowhere after Jays wouldn't meet Angelos price. Jays should have tampering fine.

    My 2015 MLB picks

    Orioles win AL East by a dozen games without Wieters or Machado. Man, that is a longshot for 2014.

    Markakis to Braves

    As a fan, I loved Nick for years. But I agree with not going 4years and 45 for declining production. He has not had much power since Sabathia broke his wrist in 2012 and his range in right is much less though he has reliable at bats, hits left handers and catches and throws well. We shall see...
