  1. Bradish has an injury that results in major surgery in most cases. Counting on him to be a significant contributor this year is wildly premature at this juncture.
  2. Went with 90-93. Hard to predict a better record than that when Dean Kremer is our #3 starter and both of the guys who were supposed to be our next-man-up depth SPs are already in the rotation. We really needed another SP.
  3. >Anthony from Bayside and Benny from Gaslight Anthem are Yankees fans YUCK
  4. I was simply pointing out that you knew why exactly people were complaining (or "whining" as you put it) about this move but were pretending to be oblivious in some lame attempt to dunk on them. That's all.
  5. This is pretty disengenuous, don't you think? Many (most?) people didn't want Nevin because he would be blocking much more talented MLB ready prospects, which Kemp also does, thus the continued "whining."
  6. Tony Kemp is approaching 33 years old and has hit .224/.306/.321 over his last ~1,000 PAs. Why in the world is he taking any ABs away from our young guys?
  7. I don't agree with such a precipitous drop either, but there is certainly reason to think the team could regress a not-insignificant amount this year. We added one TOR SP and lost another for an indeterminate period of time, and we lost our elite closer and replaced him with a guy in his mid-30s who has been up and down in recent years. Other than that, the team is more or less the same. That's not exactly what I would call a "notable upgrade" over last year's roster, but YMMV.
  8. We significantly outperformed our Pythagorean record last year and didn't upgrade this year's roster to any notable degree.
  9. The starting pitching is dangerously thin. The bullpen is kinda questionable. It would not take much meddling from the baseball gods for this team to faceplant coming out of the gate honestly. I don't see too much reason to worry about the offense right now though- it's an very deep group with even more guys quickly closing in on ready.
  10. Whatever your personal feelings are about the man, a true Baltimore icon has left the building. We can worry about how to view his legacy somewhere down the line. Rest in peace, Peter.
  11. This was easily the best move of the offseason. Pepsi is disgusting!
  12. He's just wayyyy better than the #1 prospect in baseball, obviously
  13. "He's very very close, but not close enough to be a better option than Kolten Wong or Tyler Nevin."
  14. They would be idiots to bring him up before late June/early July now. See: Rutschman, Adley (2022)
