Oh man, Joey Ortiz’s old ass jumped from 50 overall to 90 overall. I wonder why…

Agreed.

It kind of goes along with the Orioles prospect-hugging GM. I believe James Fox has been saying all along that he wouldn’t be surprised if a GM with balls like Cashman pulls the trigger on a Cease trade before the sackless wonder Elias ever does.

True story. The 2016 White Sox signed a 37 year old Jimmy Rollins as their opening day starting shortstop. Needless to say, it was the last season he ever played before retirement. Its what they do.

Exactly. Great post. If he was 22, I think Getz would be all over him.

Ortiz’s age is the same reason I hated seeing people talk about Dodgers trade offers including Michael Busch as a key piece. But Busch was even worse cuz he’s actually slightly older, and although he may have a legit lefty bat, he apparently has no glove/position.

I would disagree if Mayo was a legit defensive 3B and Basallo was a legit defense catcher, but I don’t know if this is the case.

Orioles fans trying hard to trade Ortiz before his current #50 overall ranking on the MLB’s top 100 prospects list gets updated for 2024 and he falls to the bottom cuz he’s aged out. ?

I updated my post since you quoted me, but I’m glad he did.

A 20 year old, 6’9” top lefty starting pitching prospect with Randy Johnson comps versus an over-the-hill age 25.5 infield “prospect” who still has yet to prove himself in the majors. Frobby, if Ortiz was only 22 years old right now, do you think he would have more value? I think he would have a lot more value, assuming he was putting up the same numbers as he has recently.

Dumping one bad player for another. Net gain = 0

Ortiz is older than both Jordan Westburg and Gunnar Henderson and the Orioles have nowhere to play him. No wonder these Orioles fans have such a boner to trade him as the premier prospect in any deal. Good luck.

Yeah, my assumption was both rookies playing equally well, but you already knew that. It’s just you trying to avoid the fact that Ortiz’s age makes him less valuable.

The dude is going to be 26 at the midpoint of next season and has yet to establish himself even as a rookie. But no, that doesn’t impact his value at all. Look at the rookie stud prospects that get called up. They aren’t all 26 years old in their first full season. And which is worth more — a 22-24 year old rookie phenom or a 26 year old?

Now you know how 95% of this board feels about you and your declarations about Orioles prospects.

Yea, indeed. At this point, I want to see Cease to the Yankees and the Orioles get stuck with jack s%*#.

Imagine if Sox fans were trolling your crappy Orioles message board right now, like you are doing here.

So juicy… Morosi gets it.

Age matters. I doubt the Sox would want a turning 26 year old Joey Ortiz as a headliner over 22 year old Jasson Dominguez.

Exactly. The dude will turn 26 in July. Of course he’s the first “prospect” Orioles fans suggest dealing. It’s laughable.

Agreed. Also, go check his Orioles message board and see if there are any Sox fans acting like a child over there. Nope.

The point is, you have no clue what your team would give up. You are just a fan, and a rather saucey one at that.

An Orioles fan going to a White Sox message board and arguing with them over who he thinks the Sox will get for their best starting pitcher is the dumbest thing I have seen. But alas, I don’t think you are going to last very long while you are attacking anyone and everyone on this site, just because you disagree with them.

So basically, you are just here posting to tell us what prospects YOU THINK the Orioles will trade for Cease? Who is stupid as hell now?
