I's also my opinion that Clement, Morrow ro the young SS are not in the deal.

That's what I feel as well, Triunfel is too untouchable for them and he shouldn't be a dealbreaker. Clement and/or Morrow could probably be going in a Bay trade. If Butler is coming back, he's a nice pitching prospect and with Butler and Tillman we get their best two pitching prospects.

Ah yes....the ol' friend of someone in the press who has a friend in the press routine.....:rolleyes:

Smaller than a grain of salt.....:D

The gentleman qualified his post by saying take it with a grain of salt, so he is trying to be responsible in his post. He is not on guaranteeing a trade. It is worth noting. I think Bedard must things are close witness his outburst in the days papers. Things need to happen for the good of the team and Erik and the bored group of fans who are trying to find something to look forward to this season. Thanks to Moe for saying what he has heard.

Precisely. And considering Morrow's supposedly not in the deal, I think it's fair that the M's offer up both Tillman and Butler.

Looks like Jones, Tillman, Sherrill, Butler, and Chen might be coming to fruition. ;)

That's a terrible trade as far as I'm concerned. Jones is fine. And I sort-of understand Sherill. But two 19/20 y.o. pitchers who haven't set the world on fire and a low-upside infielder?*

Oy. I won't be happy. Stupid, stupid trade.

Edited to note that I know I'm undervaluing Tillman. I just don't love his profile.

If that is the case then everything I have read or heard during the off season is worthless, because nothing has happened. 90% of us on OH waiting for something to go down,

That sounds about right.

what else is there to talk about? Baseball season hasn't started yet.

That's the main problem right there...

I understand you can never have enough pitching but im hoping they consider Matt Mangini and Greg Halman. Does anyone feel that another deal is in place after the bedard deal. I mean we would be getting possibally three 3 pitchers in this deal along with probally atleast one in the roberts deal along with what we got in the Miggy deal seems like an awful lot. Im really hoping we package some for some blocked postional players. lillibridge would be lovely and i know the Pads have a few blocked guys. I know im jumping ahead but things could be getting very exciting around here.

Keep in mind this is just conjecture. The only people rumored to be in the deal thus far are Jones, Sherrill, and Tillman. The other candidate(s) is/are a mystery.

Personally, if we're including a prospect (w/ upside) in the deal, I hope we get back one of Clement, Triunfel or Morrow.

My opinion is it's very, very, close...and will be complete as soon as they can agree on the other pieced besides Jones, tillman and Sherill. I's also my opinion that Clement, Morrow ro the young SS are not in the deal.

Call me crazy, but having to work out the other pieces doesn't sound too close. The players you named have long been considered shoo-ins..

      Bullpen 2024

      Especially when you factor in the DL Hall trade too.  Suarez and Wells get bumped to the pen only if Bradish and Means are effective starters a decent part of the season.  Would the O's promote Povich or McDermott to pitch relief?  My guess is not anytime soon, but I dunno. A trade would for one or two arms would be best, but trading for good relief pitching is only harder now because so many teams can make the playoffs.

      Off-season Qualifying Offer Question

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      But O'Hearn's numbers are inflated because he never bats against lefties, plus he's trash in the outfield.  If Santander's hitting does not improve this season of course you don't give him a QO, but that's unlikely.  He'll probably pick it up as the weather heats up.  Plus Tony plays at least a decent RF and can play first base too.   Like others have said, should the O's offer Santander a QO?  Maybe -- it depends on how he performs and how Kjerstad and Stowers perform.

      Off-season Qualifying Offer Question

      Wait, since when is money no object? It remains to be seen what the budget constraints are going to be with the new ownership, but if Santander is projected to put up 3.0 WAR for $20 million and his replacement (Kjerstad/Cowser/Stowers...) can put up 2.5 WAR for less than a million then that will be factored in.  The goal will never be about being better than the other 29 teams in a payroll vacuum.

      I think you have a good understanding and I assume you’ve read Ted Williams Science of Hitting.  It’s all about lining up planes of pitch and bat.  Historically with sinkers and low strikes a higher attack angle played and was more in alignment with pitch plane.  In today’s game of spin and high zone fastball an uppercut swing gives you minimal chance and results in top spin grounders and swing & miss.

      I'll bow to your expertise even if it seems unlikely to my laymen understanding.

      Actually it will.  As you noted.  MLB pitch plane is like 2-3 degrees.  The more your attack angle increased the more you’re hitting a top spin tennis return.

      My point was an overly uppercut swing isn't going to result in that low a launch angle.  Not unless he is somehow consistently topping the pitches, which seems pretty unlikely.
