The rotation will be homegrown too…with a sprinkling in of a 2-4 year type FA deal, ala Bassitt, Gray, Eovaldi, etc… I think the thing people have to remember is the Intl FA side of things. They will bare some fruit from that eventually…and maybe very soon. -

Ben talked about a new grip on one of Graysons breaking pitches maybe two starts ago. Perhaps this is it? -

I think the whole key to this is Elias, not Rubenstein and I think that’s the part everyone is missing. And I don’t think Elias would sign off on a deal like that. -

Exactly. What is the point of an almost entirely homegrown lineup if you skimp on pitching? Put simply, I don't see a way the O's can field an elite rotation during these golden years of almost an entirely homegrown lineup without a significant investment in capital to that rotation. We have Bradish (we'll see + big Tommy John risk?), Grayson, and Kremer (middle/back end guy) locked up for awhile. That's 3 and you need more than 5. We are already on our SP8 and it's April. Continually repeating the strategy of giving up years of control of very good prospects for a 1 year ace rental doesn't seem like the best way to preserve "long term health" of the organization, as Elias is always referencing. At some point, you get your guy, and you pay him American dollars to continue being your guy. Burnes is that guy for me. Maybe others have someone else in mind for that role. But it will cost. -
Its obviously not my money but Gunnar is pretty much already a superstar at age 22. He is the obvious answer. The kid breathes baseball and you can tell he wants to be great. Plays a premium position and has the athleticism that will age well(even if he hss to move off SS at age 30ish). Id give him a 15 year extension and make him the face of the Organization. -

I think the K rate is 27.9% after the 4-4 game and your page hadn’t updated yet? I wish we could see his whiff, chase, and in-zone/chase contact rates. Those add a lot of context to a ~30% K rate. Not based on anything scientific, but I feel like if Fabian gets to around a 25% K rate at AA this year, he moves up to AAA at some point and has a decent chance of eventually being below 35% in the MLB level. If he does then I think he’s going to be a nice 4th/5th OF type, play vs LHP and pinch run / defensive replacement.
