OK, I get that he is 26 years old and a right handed reliever that has never been to the majors. But does he have the talent to pitch in the majors?

His stats at Norfolk are:

6-1, 2.19 ERA, 39 G, 61.2 IP, 52 H, 1.20 WHIP, 62 SO.

So less hits than innings pitched. A strikeout an inning. His control must be pretty good.

But this guy never gets talked about. Never. Why?

I would like to know a lot more about him like:

1) What pitches does he throw?

2) How good are each of his pitches?

3) Is he a power or finesse pitcher?

4) Will the O's put him on the 40 man roster this off season?

5) Is he better ro worst then some of the minor league pitchers that are currently on the 40 man roster?

Those are a few things to talk about.

The answers to 2-5 are pretty apparent by the way the Orioles and us never talk about him.

Maybe.

Or maybe the reason that the O's don't talk about Rodriguez is that they have a strong pen and most of their focus has been on either adding starters or left-handed pitchers.

I really don't know but I would like to know more about Richard Rodriguez.

He's the Lew Ford of the 2016 season.

Man, I hate Richard Rodriguez.

I hate hijacking but....

He's going to have to be added to the 40 man to be protected from the rule 5 draft. Our bullpen has been so good that you don't hear too much about the righties in AAA. Beato, Drake and R.Rodriguez could all be in MLB bullpens this year.

He is due to be a minor league free agent after this year, I believe. The Orioles can add him to the 40 man roster to prevent that.

      After a really dumb day at work, this was an absolutely delightful read. Seeing a diamond expert and a can of corn detonate a yoked PBA pro was absolutely wonderful. I love this website.

      If you pitch Bradish on 5 days rest you'd pitch Rodriguez on 3 days rest?

      I think if you look at it draft by draft most years Elias did not have a chance to take a pitcher early. 2019 was Adley/Witt, 2020 everyone wanted Austin Martin SS over Kjerstad, 2021 it was Cowser or a few high school SS, and 2022 it was 5 position players at the top of the draft. I think Asa Lacy or Max Meyer were the only pitchers we could have possibly taken up until last year.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By casadeozo · Posted

      Crochet had a monstrous game tonight. 7 IP 2 H 1 ER 2 BB 13 Ks I would love to have him even if it meant moving him to the bullpen for the final stretch but someone is gonna drastically overpay for him with top of rotation potential and 2x additional seasons of club control.    assuming it starts with Mayo, Kjerstad, Povich etc

      I would like to see the O's have more success drafting and developing their own pitchers under Elias.  But I must concede that so far Elias has an excellent track record of getting good young controllable pitching from other teams farm systems  (Bradish, Povich, McDermott, Cano) or the waiver wire (Suarez, Webb, Perez).   The development of these pitchers suggests that we have excellent coaching in the high minors and in the majors.  There's more than one way to skin a cat. At this point I don't see a need to trade farm system capital for a top-line starting pitcher like Luzardo.  If the season ended today I'd feel really good about going into a playoff series with Burnes, Rodriguez and Bradish as our big three starters.   I also see no point in getting Crochet midseason as he's not going to be able to carry a starters' load into October.  It's more likely that we trade for bullpen help now, and then address starting pitching in the offseason if Burnes moves on.
