I don't think he is any better than what we have. If he ends up here it better not be anything more than a C prospect going to San Diego.

We already know who they like from the failed Upton deal.

Watch them get one of the guys they targeted after agreeing to eat a hunk of Cashner's salary.

Unrealistic. We arent moving sisco but lets not act like well be moving a 4th outfielser 2-3 years away for a big league sp/rp that can help.ctheres a reason there is several teams trying to get him regardless of what some people think on here.

I can't imagine the FO looking at him as a true upgrade. I'm going to keep the faith.

Rosenthal just mentioned we are pushing hard for Cashner too.

Thanks for sharing.

I would strongly prefer Santana since he is reasonably signed for the next few years and has pitched in the AL. For Cashner I wouldn't give up anything higher than our 20th ranked prospect.

Qell several teams who are contending blvery much like him. He has great stuff, just isnt all thete. If we think we can fix him and he can fill in behind Bundy or come oiut of pen in short stints and throw gas like i onow he can hed definitely be an upgrade. Pretty sure rosenthal tweeeted most who eant him view him as a swingmsn, so a guy that can either be good in pen or start if needed.

He is better then Ubaldo pitching today. I think that the 5 we have is ok but nothing to back them up and I expect them to try and skip some starts with Bundy so we may need 6 guys. Bundy can't go every 5th day and pitch 6 innings and make it to the end of the year or atleast I hope that is their thinking because he will have a lot of innings.

Anyone else find it a bit ironic, the O's are looking to trade for a soon to be free agent pitcher who isn't as good as the pitcher under control who was released at the beginning of the season.

I know it would never happen but would rather see the O's trade for Miguel Gonzalez than Cashner.

Posted this in another thread, but Kemp is owed $70MM plus over the next 3+ years.

Any chance, if SD took Ubaldo back we could get out of this trade with Kemp and Cashner for minimal prospects and ~$25MM coming back?

Not a terrible idea, if they could make the money even out, I would be happy with that I think. Both players would probably benefit from switching parks. Kemp is signed for much longer than Ubaldo though, so SD would have to be willing to really eat a bunch of salary before I would consider it.

Kemp's defense is terrible too though. Getting him for Ubaldo would just compound the problem. I know the offense is struggling but trading for a guy isn't the answer. Where would they play?

Trumbo's defense won't seem that bad in September when we have expanded rosters and defensive replacements for him late in the game. Same thing if we make the playoffs. Right now we just don't have the luxury of a Def replacement because of Ubaldo.

The revolving TBD door and Bundy. I'd really like it if we didn't run Bundy's arm and shoulder into the ground like his high school coaches did.
We can't send Bundy down, so who are you replacing. Eating Ubaldo's contract? DFA Roe? optioning Givens? If we add two SP we have an 9 man pen.

      Corbin Burnes 2024

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Burns can't help how the other team's pitcher is pitching and he can't help the Orioles don't score runs for him. He has a 2.68 ERA and 1.01 WHIP. Batters are slashing .204/.257/.321/.579 and people are upset? He's gone six or more innings in six of his nine starts. Sure his FIP (3.55) is not ace like, but the results are there from his part. Maybe it's because he hasn't had that dominant 7+ inning start where he shits the other team down yet, but he's been exactly what the Orioles were hoping for when they traded for him.

      Yeah this is the concern. You can't really argue with the overall numbers, but it's worrying how little he is getting guys to swing and miss. Is that guy still in there? Maybe, but it seems not consistently at the very least.

      Who is exceeding, meeting or failing to meet expectations at the quarter pole?

      By spleen1015 · Posted

      I agree with a lot of what you have there. My only changes/additions are: Santander is failing to meet expections for me. I wasn't expecting these month long slumps like he had in April. I would add Holliday to the list as failing to meet expectations. I don't think that's a bad thing. I expected him to be on the OD roster and be passed the "First time in the majors, so I'm not going to be very good for 100 ABs or so" period most players go through. I also didn't expect he would be as bad as he was.

      Here are my votes.  I didn’t include anyone with less than 50 PA or 15 IP. Exceeding expectations Henderson .892 OPS, 2.7 rWAR Westburg .871 OPS, 1.8 rWAR Cowser .831 OPS, 0.7 rWAR (ignoring recency bias) O’Hearn .883 OPS, 1.0 rWAR Mateo .706 OPS, 0.6 rWAR Irvin 4-1, 2.90 ERA, 0.9 rWAR Suarez 2-0, 1.96 ERA, 0.8 rWAR Webb 0-2, 1.47 ERA, 0.4 rWAR Akin 1-0, 3.00 ERA, 0.2 rWAR Coulombe, 0-0, 2.30 ERA, 0.5 rWAR Meeting expectations Rutschman .834 OPS, 1.7 rWAR Mountcastle .797 OPS, 1.2 rWAR Santander .731 OPS, 0.5 rWAR McCann .541 OPS, - 0.5 rWAR Burnes 3-2, 2.68 ERA, 1.0 rWAR Kremer 3-3, 3.73 ERA, -0.2 rWAR Rodriguez 4-1, 3.71 ERA, 0.3 rWAR Cano 2-1, 2.21 ERA, 0.4 rWAR Baumann 1-0, 4.02 ERA, -0.1 rWAR Failing to meet expectations  Mullins .592 OPS, 0.4 rWAR Urias .492 OPS, 0.0 rWAR Hays .311 OPS, -0.9 rWAR Wells 0-2, 5.87 ERA, -0.3 rWAR Kimbrel 4-1, 3.86 ERA, 8 saves, 3 blown saves, 0.0 rWAR   Obviously, many of these are debatable, and largely depend what your expectations were to begin with.  For example, Adley is having an excellent season, but I expect excellence from him.  He’s probably exceeding my expectations a little, but not enough to put him in the exceeding expectations category.  My expectations for Baumann were low, and he’s doing about what I expected.   Bottom line, we have more guys exceeding expectations than failing to meet them, but there’s plenty of room for improvement

      On the record Poll: Hays or McKenna

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      It's interesting that 8 people actually voted for McKenna.  Obviously the Orioles agreed with the 94.81% of Hangouters that rightly picked Hays. I don't think Hays is done as a productive major leaguer and he's quality defensive outfielder with a plus arm in LF or RF.

      2020-2024 K-bb standing among qualified pitchers: 2020 - 7th of 48 2021 - 1st of 39 2022 - 7th of 45 2023 - 23rd of 44 2024 - 37th of 80 Hopefully beast mode is still in there.    He's in a strong enough team context that at least for me and many of the fans here, the overall experience will be heavily spiced by how he does in one or more tournament starts. 2024's spin through the AL East does mean something for him for polishing the FA pitcher resume. The second half of 2022 was when David Stearns pushed him hard, and then the Brewers got antagonistic in arbitration about the results.     I hope the best of him wasn't used up then.    2022 1st half he was 3rd of 61, and 2022 2nd half he was 15th of 66. He's still on the Cy Young short list, and I believe his unswept like streak of never having more BB than K in any given game endures even though he seems to be flirting with that often recently.

      Hays activated…McKenna DFA

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I'd prefer a higher baseball IQ guy in that role myself.
