Rodriguez will go to AA Bowie

Over 5 seasons...

He is 31-20 with a 3.29 ERA, 444.1 IP, 494 K's, 1.186 WHIP, 10.1 K/9, 0.6 HR/9

In 2011 at A+ (equivalent to Frederick) he went 16-7 with a 2.76 ERA, over 156 IP, 168 K's, 1.009 WHIP, and 9.7 K/9

He looks good, better than Welty.

I honestly haven't heard of either of these guys. Here's hoping he sticks.

Apparently a 90 mph guy, which in the absense of really good secondaries, probably means he's the MR Law says. With numbers like that though, he can probably pitch. I like this trade. Welty looks like a player, but doesn't produce like one. Phils taking a chance on upside. O's looking for more pitching depth to hand over to Peterson.

Stats look really good and he has good size. Odd that he's not listed in BA's prospect book amongst Phillies top 30 prospects. It makes sense in the regard that Welty isn't one of the O's top thirty. His fastball must be short?

He was 17th in 2012, dropped out of the top 30 this year.

Depends on who you ask, but basically yeah. Probably a 88-90 guy in MLB. Gets a lot of swing and miss with breaking stuff that might not play up. A shift to the pen is likely at some point but he's young enough to keep running him out as a starter for now and seeing if he can adjust.

Rick Peterson....come on down!

I'm all for Peterson getting his hands on young pitchers with some potential. The kid's stats look pretty good, and I think this was a decent move as Welty is probably nothing more than minor-league filler at this point. I dunno...maybe I'm discounting Welty a bit...

I definitely like this trade. Welty was going to have a hard time cracking Bowie's outfield this year so getting something of value for him is a great job. Joe Jordan always did like Welty a bit so he'll get more of an opportunity over there. Good trade for the O's though.

      Clubhouse issues?

      The problem with that last statement is that this indeed is a business. And guys want to get paid and be fairly compensated. They all recognize that they have a short window to make life changing money.

      Are we done?

      I haven’t looked at his innings closely but I could see McDermott being tried as a reliever late in the season.

      McDermott is probably not there to preserve his image as a starter to potential trade partners, and if he is still here on July 31st, I'd expect to see him in our pen shortly. I do still want another solid RP, also preferably a lefty, and Sam Moll would fit the bill perfectly without breaking the bank.

      I agree, with the caveat that Santander is a different animal than Hays and Mullins.  Santander plays every day and is having a career year going into FA.  It’s really the situation that every player wants. Meanwhile, Hays and Mullins are platooning after being every day players, and are having poor seasons.     I am sure Hays thought he had earned the right to play through his rough start, but it always doesn’t work out that way.    The thing I really want to see is what the O’s off-season looks like with Rubenstein’s ownership compared to JA.

      Grade the Hays for Dominguez/Pache trade

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      It’s a fair trade.  We needed another late inning reliever and Pache helps with late inning defense.     Pache is an abysmal hitter though so hopefully he doesn’t get too many starts or late at bats.

      Organizational Turmoil?

      It feels like a stretch to me that players being in Norfolk is hurting the vibes on the Major League team.  If those players come up, they will take jobs or playing time from current players.   Obviously, if there is a perception that we’re playing service time games instead of fielding our best players, then that could hurt morale.  However, I’m skeptical that current players are outraged that Mountcastle/O’Hearn/Westburg are playing over Mayo right now in the same way that some fans may be. Goon references veteran players in contract years - I’m pretty sure that’s only Santander and Burnes who are not feeling any competition from young players and both made the all-star team. With regard to long term extensions, it seems a bit silly to say young players want long term extensions but are being blocked by their agents and this is hurting morale. Boras has never inked an extension for a player with less than two years service time like Gunnar or Westy. Adley and his GF are from the Pacific Northwest- maybe they want to eventually be closer to home.  GRod, Cowser, and Kjerstad may be viewed as more risky candidates for an extension by Elias.  It’s not clear to me that Goon’s column represents any actual reporting as opposed to pure speculation.
