Notwithstanding age and position, I think I'm still on Team Adley for priority 1. One of the management talking points is around avoiding the risk of "creating complacency" when a ballplayer good enough to rate it gets their forever fortune. I think the other side of that being too stingy is "creating resentment" in your labor force. Burnes is an interesting cat as he's taken some actions that real world illustrate how created resentment looks in the cliches only constrained world of ballplayers and clubs interacting with media. I think Elias/Sig modeling a healthy respect for the opportunity Burnes has just about earned himself might help even if they know today their recommendation to ownership is an aggressive chase that already has the green light. Information how Burnes fares the next 4-5 months is valuable, especially how his stuff plays against the best of the best once he's 30. Fun fact ALCS Game 7 could fall 10.22.2024 precisely on Burnes' 30th birthday. -

Is Rich Hill an option? I believe he was looking to sign with someone mid year. Would we consider him? -
They bring them up because we need to have guys on the bench available to pinch hit, pinch run, substitute for injured players, or give somebody a rest. It's not a matter of not believing in them. Some will get chances to start and some won't. Just because a guy is starting every day in AAA doesn't mean he should get a chance to start every day (or even most to the time) in the majors. -
My source for the dates of the options is the Orioles.com transactions page. I'm going to retract what I said about the 20 day rule, as I had misremembered it. What it actually says is: "If a Player is optionally assigned for a total of less than 20 days in one championship season, the Player shall be credited with Major League service during the period of such optional assignment(s); provided, however, that a Player shall not be credited with Major League service under this provision if the Player had zero days of Major League serv ice in the current season prior to the optional assignment and after the optional assignment was unconditionally released or assigned outright and not subsequently added to the Active List for the remainder of the championship season." So forget what I said about that. Now, what I am not sure about is whether Vespi's recall to be the 27th man in St. Louis due to the suspended game counts towards his option total. The answer to that isn't found in the CBA, but in a document called "Major League Rules" that used to be public, but apparently no longer is. I am not talking about the document that describes the rules of play, but another document that contains, for example, the details of the "Rule 4 draft" and the "Rule 5 draft."

And is it fair to say 10-15 runs equates to about 1 to 1.5 wins? (Again, that's in a worst-order scenario.) -

It’s a definite probable no for me. I don’t say that to split hairs. So let me explain. There is no way that the Orioles come out on an investment like the one it will take to extend Burnes. But would I, given his age and the likelihood of injury? No. Unless….I was prepared to spend twice that or more to land another pitcher on top of Burnes. The idea being if you’re in you’re in. I cannot speak to the finances of the new ownership but the only way I would purchase someone like Burnes would be to buy 2 in hopes of having one. While still knowing the advantage if you have both and the risks of both are hurt. Could the Orioles afford $600M? I don’t know. Should any team? No. But we live in a world where the Dodgers are spending Billions.
