    • I'm not against trading for Scott, or any other reliever at some point, but there's a bit of a jam at starting pitching for a moment. A couple of guys are going to be in the pen soon. Plus we don't have any idea about Grayson and when he'll be back.    There's always work to do on a BP for most teams, but I think they'll exercise some patience until the starting pitching clears up.
    • Fair question.  Before coming to the Orioles, vs. RHP O’Hearn had a .706 OPS (.228/.302/.414), whereas as an Oriole he has an .842 OPS vs. RHP (.303/.342/.500).   So, that’s an OPS improvement of 136 points.   Versus LHP, O’Hearn was a .492 OPS hitter in KC (.163/.244/.248).  As an Oriole, he has a .192/.206/.538 OPS vs. LHP for a .744 OPS.  That’s in 34 PA, so tiny sample size there.   My inclination is to think that given more PA vs. LHP, O’Hearn might improve from the .492 OPS guy he was vs. LHP to something like a .650 guy.   To me, that’s not good enough to bother with.  I’d just leave him in the role where he’s excelling.   
    • Sure, but I don't think that sweetens the deal for them even 1%.
    • Cal and his dad worked together on ending the innings streak aspect of it, and once the club fired his dad and the player saved baseball I think all engaged parties knew the score. His anomalous playing time pattern was balance positive for the industry.
    • Wouldn't giving Gold Gloves to relief pitchers further devalue the award? I mean, a starter who is a position player is in nearly every game, for 9 innings a game.  You can't say that a relief pitcher who's in games for 2-8 innings a week is equally worthy.
