luckily the O's were in the position to take brandon snyder. he'll prove to be the steal of the draft.

Worse part is we wanted jay Bruce.

That is one star studded draft though..McCutcheon and Rasmus, not in the majors yet, are top 20 prospects.

Yeah I remember the word was that we would take Jay Bruce, and then the Reds snatched him up right in front of us. He had a nice ML debut last night.

I'm amazed that in basically two and half seasons half of those first rounders have some time already in the big leagues.

      Pre winter meeting reliever notes

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Why is everyone so high on this guy anyway? His K rate is still good but it’s been on the decline for the last few years. Walk rate is high, HR is ok but not great.    His ERA was sub 2 in 2023 but he had a 219 BABiP(easily the best of his career), his xFIp was 4.5, his FIP was just under 4 and his xERA was 3.35.  This was his first sub 3 ERA season since 2019.    He’s going to get way overpaid because of a sub 2 ERA this year when in reality, he’s probably a 3.5ish ERA pitcher with some declining stats, although his statcast numbers are pretty solid.

      They COULD do both.  I wouldn't want to sign Hader to anything more than 4 years.   Gunnar and Holliday could be under contract at relatively low salaries for that time.

      Oh, they’ll select someone.  I just don’t think they’ll keep him.

      If those signed those 2 guys to a contract today, it would have absolutely zero impact on the payroll this year, next year or 5 years from now.    Those players are already signed for the next several years. They aren’t going anywhere. All the long term extension does is keep them under contract an extra 1-2 years. Thats it.

      Would you trade Cowser and Ortiz for Cease

      By forphase1 · Posted

      I don't either.   But I expect Ortiz and Cowser to help the Os this year,  and I don't think Cease is a sure enough of an upgrade to trade them both for him.   In the right deal I'd certainly let them both go as they certainly aren't untouchable.  But I think 2 of our top 6 prospects is too steep a price for Cease.

      Tyler Wells 2023

      By Frobby · Posted

      I loved what Wells did in the first half last year.  I loved what he did in the first half of 2022.  I loved what he did in the first half of 2021.  But after three years, here are his career splits: 1st half: 231.2 IP, 3.42 ERA 2nd half: 47.2 IP, 6.61 ERA No matter what role he’s been in, he’s been excellent in the first half and absolutely fallen off a cliff after the all star break, three years in a row.   I’d love to see him prove that he can get through a whole year and remain effective.   But how do you plan for it?  What contingency plan to you have if the same pattern holds for a fourth year in a row?
