Well, Toronto becomes really good if they land Dickey. I'll take their rotation (with Dickey) over Baltimore... but if Arrieta and Britton bounce back, who knows...

saaayy whaaaa :eek:

Even if Arrieta and Britton bounce back, there rotation would trounce us... Josh Johnson, Dickey, and Buehrle

Comparing it to Hammel, Britton, and Jake

Blah. At this point it's almost like the baseball world just figures the Jays have the better prospects because they're the Jays.

Right. The world loves Toronto. :rolleyes:

They have a MLB catcher they can deal and some arms whereas we just have arms and some 4th outfielder types -- or maybe Schoop. If we were to get him, would we sign him to an extension. If yes, I wonder what that means for Hammel.

I do it if it's something like Arrieta, Delmonico, and some other lower prospect like Avery.

I don't give up a current starter like MiGo or Hammel, but I'd give up some prospects not named Schoop, Gausman, or Bundy.

Well, the Angels might be offering Trumbo, and the Jays are likely offering Arencibia + two others. Both of those deals would be sweeter than Arrieta, Delmonico, and Avery.

I can't figure why everyone is in love with an old pitcher who likely pitched a fluke season

I think with Dickey you have to really look outside the numbers. He reinvented himself with the knuckle and also turned a corner when he came to mental peace about being molested as a child. He is relatively young for a knuckle guy and he seems to be a good teammate/person all around. He would groove better than say a Rodger Clemens type of attitude. The last 3 seasons dont reflect a flukey season either. He pitched to a 2.84, 3.28, and a 2.73 ERA each of the last 3 seasons.

I have a feeling its the Angels.

The Mets are believed to have a trade they like for Dickey, Heyman reports (on Twitter). Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reported earlier today that the Mets are telling teams they have an acceptable trade offer in hand. They were trying to get an ever better return at that point, Rosenthal added

Schoop would be a terrible deal. One year of a guy who had a career year at 38 for a guy that should give us at least 12 WAR at a very reduced price.

If there weren't so many scouts that think he ends up at 3B instead of 2B, I'd be much more reluctant to deal him. I did also say that an extension would be necessary to make it worth dealing him.

      Thank you. I knew there was something bogus about that post. I saw Cal play SS. And Gunnar is no Cal at SS. Not even close. And this is coming from a big fan of Gunnar. I would like to see him play a traditional power position. Call me old fashioned. He’s hurting the team at SS.

      Interesting.  We live in a data obsessed world now but it's not the answer to everything.  There should be a mix.

      I doubt solid MLB pitchers can be acquired just by trading position players the vast majority of the time.  Look at how we acquired Bradish and Povich -- by trading solid (at the time anyway) MLB level pitchers.  In those trades we were on the other end, but we forced teams to trade good young pitchers for Bundy and Lopez respectively.  Now we did acquire McDermott and Seth Johnson by trading Trey Mancini.  So it does happen that pitching can sometimes be acquired trading only a position player, but Mancini had had a strong major league career to that point.  My point is I don't think you can expect to acquire pitching only by trading position players -- but if you can it may need to be a strong veteran that is not easy to part with. Perhaps we could acquire Tarik Skubal for just Jackson Holliday -- or Holliday plus one or two other strong position prospects.  But that would be a whole other level of a blockbuster trade. Also, I'm not sure how we can say the system is bereft of homegrown minor league pitching talent and then complain that we traded Baumeister and Chace -- two homegrown minor league pitchers that everyone here seems to agree are talented.  We can criticize the trade, but clearly there was and probably still are some desirable arms in the system that we'd rather not trade.  No, none of the ones Elias drafted have made it to the bigs yet, but maybe those two would have been among the first.

      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.”

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      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.
