Jay Gibbons 5.6 rWAR

Ryan Flaherty 2. 6 rWAR

I like Ryan, he's very useful, but let's not get carried away.

I think it is possible (probable?) that Flaherty accrues another 3 rWAR over the rest of his career. Although at this point he is behind Gibbons' pace of 4.6 rWAR through four seasons.

But then he might hang around for a couple years at below replacement level.

As long as Ryan never grows Popeye arms or fails a test, I'll give him credit on that comparison thanks. The Real Jay Gibbons looked a lot like Nick Markakis.

Just making the point that you can't be one of the greatest Ruke 5 picks of all time when you have half the career WAR of Jay Gibbons, who, even enhanced, wasn't that good.

That said, I think Flash might stick 10 years in the majors due to his versatility.

If Ryan Flaherty is one of the best Rule 5 picks of all time then that's a compelling reason never to waste a roster spot on one ever again.

I'm very happy with Ryan's production this season, don't get me wrong. But it took us a long time to get here and the guy is about to be 29.

Rule 5 has changed quite a bit. It's a lot harder to find the gems since the Bautrista/Santana/Hamilton days.

I wouldn't include Hamilton in that list simply because everyone knew Hamilton had the potential, it was just a matter if anyone would take the chance.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      By Flash- bd · Posted

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
