      How should we look at FA contracts going forward?

      By Since1984 · Posted

      I do not think the Orioles will spend >$200m on annual payroll anytime soon, but they have room to sign. Burnes Ace type every 3-6 years.    I would offer $150 over 5 years with incentives and options that could exceed $200m, to hedge a sunk cost for injuries.

      Interesting, and Smoltz’ point is not just valid, it illustrates a terrible tendency throughout society. And the pitch clock theory is ridiculous. But the problem isn’t hard throwing, but the twisting motion of the arm. Try just going through a throwing motion and at the end, sharply pronate or supinate your arm. Then do it at whatever your individual max effort is. I’m not even sure how to do it. But that extreme twisting movement can’t possibly be good.

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      Kjerstad obliterating AAA pitching is almost to be expected at this point, so the thing I’m keeping a close eye on is his BB rate. Up at 11.5% now, while still maintaining only a 20.7% K rate. Very encouraging, since I’m sure pitchers are pitching him more carefully now. It’s good to see him willing to take those walks. He’s now turned the hard contact into power and he has good contact ability for a power guy, so the biggest flaw in his offensive profile is his aggressiveness and tendency to chase. I’m sure the Orioles’ message is that’s what they want to see improved from him at the AAA level.
