This. Hunter Gaddis has an MLB ERA of 5.59 and 1.39 WHIP over 66 career MLB innings. He was the 39th prospect in the Cleveland system prior to 2023 graduation (per Fangraphs). Smith was a 16th round pick who was ranked 27th in their system coming into this season. Not sure why some folks are so sanguine on this potential deal, or even questioning why Cleveland would want to do it. If Nick Vespi and Andrew Politi had similar starts to this season for the O's, would any of us think we could get a top-100 prospect from another team in exchange? That's basically what we're talking about here...

Yes, Wednesday vs the Yanks

Make that seven

FWIW, I think we can all agree that a certain 1057 on-air personality was the wrong-est re: O'hearn and Franchy Cordero

Conversely, with the off day tomorrow, you could have him go two, then have him as the only unavailable guy on Friday. ESP. Since you can probably send Suarez back down and not need another starter until Tuesday, giving you an extra arm in the bullpen for that stretch. Then I would have said call up Justin Armbreuster, but he’s looked a bit rough as of late (just going by game logs)

Well, I think it's fully dependent on fielder positioning at that point. There are a bunch of gappers and line drives that have no chance of being caught in a given situation that will have xAVG of .800 or .900 because in other situations fielders are positioned in a way that catches that given launch angle/direction/exit velocity combination.

You could even say Kimbrel-like His career K/9 is 14.2, and he's had multiple seasons at or above that mark for a whole season. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/k/kimbrcr01.shtml

1) he wasn’t in the starting lineup yesterday (he actually didn’t get in the game at all) 2) in the one game he’s played, he’s 1/3 with a double and a walk (good for a 1.167 OPS)

He had 15 in 450 PA last season, which is a clean 20/600PA pace

Weird timing to post this.

Nevin is .711 per Zips projections and is .798 by historical performance vs. LHP
