How much better did he make the Orioles when he was there?

Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
In post 11, YellowSnow wrote:I don't think that was because of Machado. Based on his WAR he gave them 31 wins over 7 years, and led the team in WAR in 4 out of his 7 years.
Well of course not. My point was just that he didn't make a bad team a contender on his own there so I don't see why he would somewhere else. San Diego's lineup is actually kind of decent though. Of course he makes them better just like he made Baltimore better. I just don't think they are suddenly contenders.

San Diego has one of the best farm systems in the majors. They may not make the playoffs this year but two or three years down the road they could win the pennant.
