Dan Duquette inherited an orioles team that hadn’t had a winning record in 13 years.
In his 8 years the Orioles made the playoffs 3 times, were .500 or better 5 times, and won 6 playoff games.
In Mike Elias’s 7+ years and counting, the Orioles made the the playoffs twice, were .500 or better 3 times, and won 0 playoff games. They’re on pace for year 8 to win 70 games and lose 92
Rays catcher prospect Caden Bodine has the lowest K% in the minors at 3.7%(!)
He is also slugging .617 and has a walk rate over 10%. The Rays might have themselves as special prospect on their hands folks. I expect him to move through the minors quickly.
