He has had recent health concerns which brought his price down. Makes one wonder how he would cope with an O's physical.

Until this post I new nothing of this player, which is not unusual for me. I didn't know anything about the two Latin players we signed the other day. However, from just watching the video, it appears as though many of his pitches are up in the strike zone and hittable. Is it my misperception or is his delivery just that deceptive?

He along with Ryu were a big part of the Korean National Team doing well in the WBC and other international competition. He has had health issues and evidently is a Boras client. I just asked Dan if he might be willing to establish himself with a one year deal.

Well, apparently he has had success against quality competition. Not optimistic with boras as his representative.

His biggest problem is his name. There's just too much you can do with that.

His slider looks good but that might be from all the swings and misses he's getting. I'm not so sure major league hitters would swing at it as much. Either way, he has starter and closing experience and he should not cost a lot. Considering the general affordability of Chens contract and Chens numbers are better I think something like 2/8 could make it happen.

Like I said the only way he could happen with the O's is a deal where he signs a one year deal in exchange for free agency after the one season.
Why would PA even agree to a one year deal if he has health issues? Wada to close in his memory, IMO. And Boras isn't selling him cheap.

Because a one year deal is less risky then a multi-year deal.

I am certainly not saying that there is a likelihood of anything happening between the two parties.

    • IMO 100% - I get the SP need and want but a shut-down pen (with a long man) is imperative
    • Good idea.  Hopefully, he performs well enough in the FCL for them to consider it.
    • I dont think Trouts the answer even if he wanted to come here. Too much $$$ probably. Elias would probably accept a 100 OPS+ CF if his range was good. Im not sure how many CF's fall under that category that are available. And Roberts only signed through next year, so it doesn't make sense to give up a valuable prospect for him.  Sigs going to have to dig deep to churn up something. Isnt Johnson in AAA having a great year? I dont know anything about him defensively.
    • Nice to see him getting live action. Ashamed he missed so much of the season. I'd love to see him do well and have them push him up to Delmarva for addition PAs that he lost out on, even if he struggles at that level. 
    • While I still think he could become a reliable defensive 3B, I'd still like to see what he looks like in RF.  An outfield of Kjerstad/Stowers in LF, Cowser in CF, and Mayo in RF would be about as scary as it gets for pitchers. Imagine this 2025 lineup: 1. Henderson - SS 2. Rutschman -  C 3. Mayo - RF 4. Kjerstad - DH 5. Westburg - 3B 6. Cowser - CF 7. Mountcastle - 1B 8. Stowers - LF 9. Holliday - 2B Who the hell do you pitch around?  
    • I really don’t think I was speculating based on the past, but rather on my perceptions of the new generation of ballplayers overwhelmed by advanced stats and how their pay is based on them so heavily, as well as hearing it from the mouths of current players.    Did you watch any of the youtube clip? While I totally understand where you’re coming from and appreciate the check on my viewpoint, I really think the things said in the podcast are definite issues for consideration and hope you’ll watch it to see what you think. 
    • Wow, only Judge and Soto have more votes than Rutschman in the AL.
