Sale, Erod and Porcello. Still spooky, but the loss of Price will hurt big time

It will but that rotation still projects better than Baltimore's in my opinion unless ERod falls flat. Unfortunately we dont have the firepower to match Sale or the version last year's Porcello.

Likely true, but it narrows the gap.

Absolutely it does.  And if another domino falls... well I never hope for someone to get hurt but maybe Porcello falters a little bit.  The RedSox are going to be the team to beat this year.  Their offense is young and good (although they did lose Ortiz) and their pitching should be good as well.  Os will need some breaks and will certainly need Gausman and Bundy to make the next step.

Don't wish any ill will to David Price...he seems like a decent guy even though I can't stand the team for which he plays.

It's a shame to see this.  Frankly, I won't be a bit surprised to see some issue with Sale at some point because of his unorthodox delivery.   Again, not wishing this on any player.

    • Most of these kids are still 17 or 18, and the ones who have made it to full season ball have only been there for a couple of months.  A bit early for them to have 'completely tanked', no?
    • They didn't trade one this offseason
    • A. I didn't quote you, or anyone else, in my reply B. What are you talking about?  I'm agreeing with you (and the post from SG that preceded my original post) that Hernandez is a flame out, that he won't be the last, and that its not a big deal because we're at least in the market.   I don't get what the issue is or what I didn't 'get' from the thread.
    • As soon as Phillips started citing catchers ERA, he lost the argument.
    • It’s, without question, that there will be more teams willing to trade in the offseason than the teams this year.  In the offseason, every team is on the table to trade. That’s not the case now. What history tells you is that pitching fetches more at the deadline…but a team like Seattle, for example, isn’t trading one of their starters for offense right now but they could deal one in the offseason, when they could replace them.
    • The O's have a bunch of players that potential need to be protected this off season.   Since there are not a lot of trades after the season before November 20th when the rosters are set for the Rule 5 draft, the time to think about trading players that don't make the 40 man roster in November is at the trade deadline. Here is the November 40 man roster as I see it right now. 1.  GRod 2. Irvin 3. Suarez 4.Kremer 5. Povich 6.McDermott 7. S. Johnson 8. Bradish 9. Wells - IL next season 10. Bautista 11. Kimbrel 12. Cano 13. Coulombe 14.  Perez 15. Akin 16. Tate 17.  Webb 18. Baker 19. Adley 20.  McCann  - Signed to a one year extension 21.  Hunt 22.  Mountcastle 23.  Holliday 24.  Gunnar 25.  Westburg 26.  Mayo 27.  Urias 28. Mateo 29. O' Hearn 30. Norby 31.  Cowser 32.  Kjerstad 33.  Stowers 34.   Mullins - To be traded but not before Nov 20th 35.  Hays - To be traded but not before Nov 20th 36.  McGough 37. Strowd  - Have heard he has the arm but has not done well at AAA yet 38. Tavera - Did well at AA. Bad start at AAA. 39.  Young 40. Cook 41. Daniel Johnson 42. Held Players not included on the 40 FA:  Burnes, Means, Santander Out of options and will not make the 26 man roster: Vespi, Zimmermann On the 40 man roster but probably will not be protected: Stoudt, Krook, Heasley Probably will not be protected:  Handley, Vavra, Banuelos, Maton, Haskin, Armbruester, Teheran, Corbin Martin, Luis Gonzalez, Charles, Bowens, Collin Burns, Rhodes, Brnovich, Pham, Ryan Watson, Ryan Long  Bottom line:   Things will change over the next 6 weeks but  if Elias trades Norby and two  pitchers such as Tavera, Held or Strowd  for a  high leverage reliever he will clear the way to protect everyone on my current protect list. Trading Hays and Mullins in December or January opens space for established pitchers on the winter.   If they want to open at bats for Mayo, O'Hearn may be traded this off season. Who do you see the O's protecting and how does that impact who  the O's trade at the deadline?
