Giolito For O'Day or Brach

Seems like the Nats can't get Miller for Giolito. If this is the case, I think the Orioles should offer O'Day first and see if they bite. If not, I wouldn't mind giving up Brach.

The plan would be for Giolito to be in the bullpen to learn. So, yes we may lose some strength in the bullpen but we would gain a potentially huge SP at a relatively low price for years to come that you can't ever get.

We can always sign good RPs but we will probably never sign an ace so I think this keeps us contending this year but improves our chances of contending for several more years

He's arguably the #1 prospect in baseball. You don't get him for Brach.

I never said you would. My point is, the Orioles may need to add BP arms, not subtract. Especially if they don't land a SP. People really overhype the Orioles BP. Other than Brach, O'Day, and Britton, it's not that great. Atleast to support the starting rotation.

    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
    • I have it on dvr and I timed it four times. I got 10.75, 10.80, 10.74, and 10.78.
    • This is exactly what EDC said tonight     
    • My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
