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.

      Albert Suarez 2024

      By Too Tall · Posted

      He was put in a "mop up" situation and he "mopped." Not going to extrapolate too much cause of the length of time off between pitching, the new routine, and the game situation. He did what he had to do. Then along came Baumann

      If ANYONE says the that the 2024 Orioles are "worst" they literally know less than ZERO about baseball and their opinion should be immediately discarded here  🗑

      Didn't really get much hard contact so I see no reason to complain or worry about him right now. The Red are a swing-happy team that made a TON of quick outs all series and Suarez did the right thing and threw his fastball for contact. Certainly looked a lot better than Baumann did.

      Adley Rutschman 2024

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I feel like Adley is the glue for this team. Others can overshadow him a bit, but the winning started when he showed up and he feels like the type of guy that doesn’t need the recognition.  His skillset pairs well with this. Solid defense. Great approach at the plate. Nothing crazy flashy but absolutely essential. A quietly, insanely productive player.

      Could Grayson Be the Solution to Our Bullpen Issue?

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      Suarez reminds me a bit of Keith Foulke with that FB/CH combo. Even more effective with the FB at 96. I am really interested to see how he moves up the hierarchy. Really scares me to have playoff games coming down to a 34 year old project from the Japanese league but he has been impressive.

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Is there ANYTHING that the Orioles can realistically do to put them in a position where they won't be supreme title contenders next, the year, the year after that one? There is no 'desperate' move to make when you have this much excess prospect capital/talent. Why would we not be willing to part with any of that excess in order to increase our chances to have a parade in the fall ("after we haven't sniffed a title in 40 years")? Do you not agree that we have more positional player prospects that we could ever use?

      The Nationals Series

      Trevor Williams and Mitchell Parker both have held opposing batters to ZERO home runs in their first 50 innings of the year, and helped by that have shiny ERA's in the 2.25-2.50 range. They go against Corbin Burnes and Kyle Bradish. Parker rates pretty high on the anonymous left-handed starting pitcher scale. Forecast looks like tomorrow an 80 degree day and Wednesday flirting with 90. I'll guess the clean HR slate doesn't make it. Luis Garcia looks very hot.   He and CJ Abrams do seem in good position to be some of Orioles middle infielders closer competition over the long term.
