Pretty spiffy 2014 numbers in 16 starts. Let's see if they can get him back on track.

Fair numbers. Still a bad K rate. I'm really not impressed by him. Optionable garbage is still garbage. But who knows, maybe they see something they can fix.

Side note, how did BBR get a hold of Cuban National Series stats? Well done!

I like the move. Despaigne has put up numbers at the major league level and has an option. If the pitching gurus think they can get him straight then he could end up being a solid contributer as a starter or out of the pen. If he struggles at least we have the option of sending him to Norfolk and keeping him as depth while hoping they can do some work on him there.

Seems like a reasonable trade. Don't know enough about Cosme though to feel fully confident in saying I unequivocally like the trade. On the surface though it looks good.

Never even heard of theJean Cosme.

He's a prospect - 19 years old last year at Aberdeen. 6'2", *155*.

(I'm also 6'2", but 190 - probably a good weight for me. I've dropped as low as 175, and my friends started to call me 'Skeletor'. I could not fathom being 20 points lighter that that weight.)

Not much of a hard thrower, but he has a frame that I'd guess could grow. Decent, but not overwhelming numbers at Aberdeen. I've seen him a bunch, and was never impressed - but he's a prospect in the sense that you don't know what he might become in 5 years, and there is some talent there...

      Developing situation with Mountcastle?

      By 24fps · Posted

      If that's the case, then there have been several missed opportunities with recent thread titles.  Some proposed revisions:   There's a developing situation with Jackson Holliday.  Mike Elias' biggest failure? Michael Kopech could be an Oriole by Memorial Day.  The situation is still developing. Jim Bowden has made a semi-rational trade proposal.  No word yet on a possible identity theft. ... Fun.

      A dozen more strikeouts last night, and most of the lineup is not hitting well

      Crappy umping.  Hyde needs to be more vocal.  The umps are a variable that our hitters can't control.  It's like when the Rays were becoming a powerhouse and had all of those brawls.  We don't need brawls, but we do need our manager to be more vocal.  O'Hearn took one for the team last night.   None of the young guys want to get labeled like Machado did.

      https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/majors/2024.shtml Team BA: .254 10th in MLB Team HRs: 54 1st in MLB Team RBIs 174 4th in MLB Team Hit 197 12th in MLB Team Runs 180 6th in MLB Team OBP .306 17th in MLB Team SLG .441 2nd in MLB Team OPS .747 3rd in MLB Team OPS+ 117 2nd in MLB Team Walks 89 one more than last place CWS   Roy, I think they are hitting the ball just fine. But this team has a problem with getting on base and specifically taking a walk. Free swinging clubs are streaky.

      Cade Povich 2024

      Please state your facts without trolling. You have your opinions, Sports Guy has his. Make your points, put in your stats, and stop trolling the other person. Who cares if SG has a different opinion then you? Really, it's not that different. You both think he's a SP prospect.  Heck, if you want to go troll anyone, go troll the guy who just compared Povich to Zimmermann, Rom and Vespi! LOL (Don't troll anyone, that was a joke).

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Great insights.  We've seen the same thing happen with all of our recent prospects.  Hopefully, this winning will let our batters start getting some respect on their names with the umps.  I like how none of them really argue, and last night O'Hearn sort of took one for the team/youngins.  I like Hyde.  Great manager, but maybe he needs to be a little more vocal with these umps.  We've done the nice guy act.  Now it's time to win when everyone is gunning for us.

      Cade Povich 2024

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Thank you for saving me some typing. My only nitpick is Povich is working on a cutter to offset his fastball and I'm not sure that Povich is a nibbler vs he doesn't have great command yet.  Comparing him to Rom or even Zimmermann is off point for sure. Povich is much better pitching prospect then either of them. He's dominating both righties and lefties right now. The Vespi comparison is silly as well. Povich probably could be a very good reliever for the Orioles right now, but he's definitely more value as SP depth while he keeps working on his command. He's definitely next up if the Orioles need a starter.

      It's especially an easy fix with O'Hearn on the roster and hitting as well as he does vs RH pitching.
