    • Seth Johnson on the Phillies' "philosophy": Orioles are data driven, Phillies are more "old school". I don't get much out of this but it's a data point. https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/seth-johnson-mlb-debut-phillies-orioles-trade/613582/ “I think the big thing is that Baltimore is very data-based,” he said. “Here’s a nice blend of the numbers and baseball strategy. Kind of old school. And I’ve been really enjoying it so far. For me, it’s kind of simplified everything. Concentrating on basic concepts like moving the fastball around. Not worrying about pitch shapes all the time. Just going out here and trying to pitch.”
    • If we have room, why wouldn't we add Pham and Van Loon just to have available depth in AAA (whether or not they are at risk of being taken)? 
    • I think Young will be added, and that is it. I like Pham, but no AAA experience makes him unlikely to be taken. Whatever open spots should be used to upgrade the bullpen and other pitching depth. It is well documented here that we don’t have much beyond raw guys like Strowd and Heid. we lack flexibility and options. This has to change. 
    • Repeating this over and over doesn't make it any less dumb. It's still just as dumb as the first time you said it (which is MUCHO btw).
    • Nestor German finished his season in fine style, tossing four shutout innings on 4 hits, 0 walks, 6 strikeouts.  His final numbers: 73.2 IP, 1.59 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, 11.0 K/9, 5.3 K/BB.  At Aberdeen, 1.78 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 11.7 K/9, 11.0 K/BB.   Terrific season that was interrupted for a month with an injury but he came back just as strong if not stronger.
