And Ramon Urias as well. Urias might eventually get squeezed out or turn into a backup, but he's been a vital part the last few years while we've been waiting on prospects to make their way up the farm system. -
I’ll now answer my own question. Even though these three players are theoretically equivalent from a run differential standpoint, I would not want the player who’s -10 on defense. That’s because I believe that poor defense bothers pitchers, causes them to try to do too much, and demoralizes them. So maybe the fielder isn’t “responsible” in a WAR calculation when the rattled pitcher serves up gopher ball or walks the next guy after a poor defensive play, but there’s cause and effect there IMO. So, give me someone who plays at least decent defense. And, I think the Orioles feel the same way. -
Really!? It's called baseball? Thanks for letting me know! They are going to lose more games than they win when the starting pitcher has a sucky night. They can't score ten runs a night. The thread is about discussing Grayson Rodriquez's pitching. Just saying his performance doesn't really matter is incorrect and an uninteresting take. -

Exactly. If you go down a list of the leaderboards of velo leaders and note all their injuries, there’s a lot of them. But if you instead just take a list of all 30+ year old pitchers and sort it however you like, I don’t expect it’s going to look all that different. -
Aram loves the pitch metrics on Povich and McDermott. Was effusive in his spring podcast going through Os top prospects. -
Let’s also give the org credit for the O’Hearn pickup. He was part of last night’s lineup. For that matter, they picked up Mateo too.

Thank you. Not sure how easy for someone who may have been doing it for years and someone who’s been talented enough to make it work. Someone posted a video of Freddie Freeman and Holliday to show similarities but, to me, it just showed how different their lead foot was. Freeman’s was closed and perfectly in line and parallel to his back foot. Hollidays foot pointed out and the foot towards 2B position. I questioned it. Other guys, who admittedly know more, said it was no problem. Again, he might be able to become a HOF with those mechanics. I’ve just never seen a good ML hitter hit that way. From that early January thread “I guess it depends on your definition of “step in the bucket”. His stride foot definitely doesn’t go straight. Pretty easy to see where his foot is in relation to the batters box and how much further away it is when it lands. It doesn’t seem to affect him negatively though. Interestingly enough, Freeman’s stride foot goes perfectly straight.” Edited January 6 by RZNJ
