      Gunnar/ Adley . Would Gunnar have been a good choice at 1-1?

      By Philip · Posted

      I think my question was clumsy, although I did have a disclaimer at the bottom, which several guys ignored. Oh well. I meant to suggest that Gunnar would have been a good 1-1, and that we made a steal. I shouldn’t have phrased it in “either or” scenario. I should’ve just compared gunners first two years with the last 20 or so 1-1 picks. Which I will now do…

      I think speaking in generalities that's definitely true. I'm sure Corn would argue that we have no proof that the Orioles aren't still the 2006 Orioles so Rutschman's case might be different.

      Statistical oddities

      The two pitchers before him threw 3.0 IP each.  Then he threw 1.0 IP.  The guy who came in after him let two inherited runs score.  It's a mess.

      That's a pretty presumptuous thing to say. Especially for a 26-year-old guy 23 games into his third season who had a partial rookie year where he finished 12th in the MVP voting, and 9th in his 2nd season. And since the start of 2022 he is the most valuable catcher in baseball by both fWAR and rWAR. The average HOF catcher ends up around 50 WAR, and Rutschman is currently averaging over 5.0 per 140 games played. 10 years of that doesn't seem at all out of the question. Among catchers born since 1990 he seems to have as good a chance as anyone. He and JT Realmuto, but Realmuto is already 33 and probably need at least 3-4 more good seasons to have a shot. Perhaps Will Smith, but he's three years older and his best year would be Rutschman's 2nd or 3rd and Rutschman has only played a little over two years.

      Holliday optioned, McKenna recalled

      I am joking but it did come out that he's taking reps there.
