In his latest article, Rosenthal mentioned that baseball trade values says it would need to be Mayo and Bradfield for Miller

Not as good as Burnes looks.

No chance is right. He ran into some command and control issues early but when his stuff was working, they couldn’t touch it. I’m shocked at how well things are looking right now…which is about the feeling I figure I will have right before the shoe drops.

Great Example of why Blown Saves/Holds are a bad stat
Sports Guy replied to Pickles's topic in Orioles Talk
I hate it too. That damn @Frobby brings up save% all the time. It drives me nuts. There are a lot of stats like that. -
Probably but I wouldn’t go as far as definitely. Some of these contenders with OF issues are more salary conscious than others. But if he goes another 100-200 at bats where he’s awful, the thought that he is likely to get claimed goes way down imo.
-
Apparently it was everywhere else though. Honestly, I’m glad to hear that. Gives me even more confidence he can bounce back.
-
Thank you. I have no idea how I have missed this but you mentioning it today is literally the first time I had heard it.
-
For sure but this is at least a little different.
-
So what do we take from this w/r/t Povich? He is at 3.9, so slightly better than league average but still high. I would guess you still have to think he needs to improve on it but maybe improving on it can/will occur at the ML level, if he does indeed improve on it?
-
Yea I’m not sure how I didn’t hear about that although I tend to tune out ST because it’s so awful. But I don’t even remember hearing about it during any broadcasts. That definitely helps explain, or at least lends the possibility, of why he struggled to start this year.
-
Hays did? I don’t remember hearing that. That certainly helps explain things.
-
As I said, he has a really strong 90 PA stretch from mid August to mid Sept. So, for about 1/3 of his last 320ish PA, he was excellent. For 2/3 of it, he was sub 600 OpS. You can choose to do whatever you want with the numbers. Those are just facts. He was great for the first 3 months last year and not good the second 3 months and has started this year poorly.
-
Hays also doesn’t get good jumps. You overrate him and always have. He’s a good player. A solid 450-550 at bat guy. Someone who doesn’t generally hurt you defensively but really, he has no biz being in GG discussions. I’m glad we have him but when we don’t, I doubt we will even notice he’s gone.
-
Well based off the last half season of baseball, lots of players are better than Hays. He has literally been a below replacement level player.
-
I could see that. I personally think it’s rather obvious that Cowser is a superior defensive OFer compared to Hays but I also think it’s possible you consider LF harder in OPACY compared to CF, so they could view Cowser being the better fit there
