I'm curious who everyone's favorite non Oriole is in the league. 

 

I have a lot, but if I had to pick one, it'd be Byron Buxton.

Jose Ramirez

It's almost always an Indians/Guardians player for me, not sure why. Grady Sizemore, Travis Hafner, Shane Bieber...they just seem to grow guys that I really like.

[BobPhelan]

Buxton is a good one.

I think I'd have to go with Ronald Acuna.

[BaltBird 24]

Don't think I really have one. I like dominant pitching so Paul Skenes is fun.

[Mike B]

Never gave it a thought,

How about Anthony Rendon?   The man is a gamer.

Yeah, like others I had never really thought about it but Ramirez is a great answer.  Such an underrated player except by people who actually follow closely, and by all accounts beloved by his teammates.

Obviously Matt Kemp....is he retired?

 

...if so then obviously Patrick Corbin....is he still available?  If we sign him, he won't count. hmmm.

 

Do former Orioles count?  I like the Hays-Ced-Santander layer out there. JAMES MCCANN.

 

It used to be Curtis Granderson.  I don't know that there's a current guy for me at that level. 

 

Lots of good guys out there, lots of fun guys to watch. Agree with Ramirez and Buxton among many others.  Freddie Freeman.

 

Part of it winds up being who's on my Fantasy team.

Just playin', I don't know if I have one.

Hate to say it, but in a couple of years my answer will probably be. . .Gunnar Henderson.

I'd say that's all but a certainty

Ohtani. Bobby Witt Jr. 

 

Had to think about an answer.  Don't watch many / any games that aren't the Orioles. 

[weird-O]

Witt Jr. concerns me, when he comes to the plate. He's a good choice.

...and this is why so many people like Jose Ramirez.  Why Craig Albernaz talked about him the way he did.

 

Signed a very reasonable extension with CLE.  This is the most reasonable version of "wanting to be here" that you can get.  Lifetime one-team.  He'll make over 300M.  Likely HoF.  Will be at the top of the position player records in CLE (he's almost already there).   Best player in Team history.  He'll have a career there after the field and a statue....like a Cal, Palmer or Brooks.

Likable superstar taking below market long-term deals...

I dunno. Probably Elly De La Cruz.
