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.

I'm more impressed by his change-up, esp. how he throws it against LH hitters--something both Norris and Hunter are in dire need of.

And I'm not buying this PC BS. That's not what it's about. If I'm a racist then everyone on this board is too.

No, only the people who say "me likey" in reference to Asian players are racist (or at least offensive). As an Asian, I don't really care, I am used to stupid crap and it does not both me. But since it is out there I agree that it is inappropriate. It certainly does not add anything to the discussion.

I'm an actor and I know a lot about dialects. If I wanted to make fun of it, I would have substituted R's for L's and vice versa. That's the clich?. My intent was to make fun of PA. I hope I didn't offend you, it was certainly not my intention. BTW I would suppose by the high standards of the OH any one who enjoys SOUTH PACIC is a racist as well.

What may have been acceptable in 1958 is not today. It would have been better to stop at an apology and move on. I did ask that this get back on topic and won't a third time.

I wouldn't be surprised that subtleties might be lost on someone who identifies with a fictional NJ mobster. SOUTH PACIFIC was surprisingly anti racist for it's time. GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER was too, though it would seem creaky today.

Can we please not get my thread locked? I asked Dan questions on Twitter and everything.

Talk about a derailment...

let me get it back on track before I'm banned. I think DD would take a risk with this guy as you say on a one year deal, but I think PA would have serious qualms. I really think DD has to run every thing by PA now a days.

      Kjerstad Joining Team

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Kjerstad does not have to play every day for him to be here.  He should be able to start 3+ times a week. He’s hitting right now so I would get him in the lineup immediately and see if there is any carry over from AAA.

      They needed to replace Hays and he's already on the 40. I don't think it goes much deeper.

      A lot of people didn’t like this signing.  It was a few bad outings last year but otherwise, he was very good. He will have some bumps in the road but he’s a very capable guy still.

      I agree. It has to be anticipating Mountcastle being out a little longer, maybe they will IL him too if his knee doesn’t improve quickly. But if Hays is out the minimum 10 days (one of which already passed), maybe Kjerstad gets 3 starts from Mountcastle and 1-2 from rest days for others, available to pinch hit the rest. That wouldn’t be so bad.

      I trust the O’s and Elias’ handling of him.  Similar to Decosta and the Ravens, they seem to make more good decisions than other clubs do.     I think he can work it out at the major league level if they do.  Wouldn’t be worried if he got sent down to regain some confidence.

      Albert Suarez 2024

      I don’t see Wells coming back to the rotation. That was never the plan to begin with. Also, I’m not sure it’s a given that Means can make effective starts at the Bug League level right now. He’s been legit terrible against AAA hitters on a pretty consistent basis so far this season. Now Bradish on the other hand, if he can return, he will probably bump one of Suarez or Irvin to the pen (the one who is pitching the worse).  If Suarez keeps performing (I don’t think his current level is realistic to expect) but at a good level for a back end starter, he stays.

      Remove Bradish and I will maybe agree. To me this guy is destined for the pen, where hopefully his swing and miss stuff plays up even more. Could be an important piece, but I’m not getting my hopes up too far after two appearances.
