Frobby Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 That's a lot of quantity, but not much quality, that has left our organization. The two players who might make an impact (EdRod and Hader) both brought something useful in return. (Tarpley is too far away for me to conclude he might make an impact.)

Flacco Machado Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Good stuff. Thanks. Honestly, the only guy I see becoming a "star" is Hader. If he stays healthy, though. Rodriguez will probably be a back of the rotation guy. Tarpley, I see ending up in the bullpen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Good job. To this point, nothing hurts. The potential hurts look to be Eduardo Rodriguez, Josh Hader, and Tarpley. Thanks. Agreed, Hader (and EdRod) could have a significant ML career--better than Norris's. It certainly indicates that you need to give quality to get quality. With the exception of Miller and Norris, most of these trades have not had a much of an effect (positive or negative) on the Os at the ML level. Perhaps the best of the rest was Brach for Jones--as Jones has struggled at AA and Brach was pretty good. I'm sure the Os expected more out KRod.

sportsfan8703 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Looks like we gave up a bunch of guys that have ceilings of just being relievers or bench players. With the way that DD operates those type of players are expendable because he is able to bring in so many of them anyway. Of course this means I side with the reports that Ed Rod and Hader will end up in the pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hey, Steve, I was first. http://www.masnsports.com/steve-melewski/2015/02/trader-dan.html More importantly, I've received quite a few "thank you" messages for this thread. So, let me say "you're welcome" to all. I put it together to help assuage my concerns about the loss of certain MiLers. In the Melewski article, DD makes a good point that, with the addition of the second wild card team, the cost of ML talent at the trading deadline has gone up.

In the Melewski article, DD makes a good point that, with the addition of the second wild card team, the cost of ML talent at the trading deadline has gone up. Melewski definitely "borrowed" from you, but the quotes from Duquette provide a nice window into his thinking. On the EdRod for Miller trade: "We didn't want to do that, but it was required to acquire that pitcher," Duquette said. "And Andrew Miller helped the Orioles get to the playoffs. I could argue he was the difference in the first playoff series with the Tigers. What if he was on the other side of the field in the Detroit dugout? What if we didn't have him to get key outs in that series?"There is a case of yes, we gave up a really good prospect, but it was required for us to take a shot at the pennant. At that point of the season, I think you have to roll the dice and see if you can help your team advance." Duquette addressed the risk teams take in trading prospects, like the risk that a player dealt away will turn into an All-Star caliber player or better down the road. "That is always the risk that you take," he said. "But again, if you are going to try for a pennant you have to do what you have to do. You have to take the shot. "You have to swallow hard to trade young prospects. But if you are in a pennant race, it is incumbent on the team to make those trades to keep that going during the season."

stef Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 the quotes from Duquette provide a nice window into his thinking. On the EdRod for Miller trade: Yes, indeed. If Miller went to the Tigers instead, it would have been really tough for the Os to advance. Boston played that trade very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
