We should trade Manny with Davis and Britton to the Dodgers in a multi-player deal with Alex Wood one of the pitchers coming back. With some of the prospects and ml players coming back in the deal we package some of their prospects with ours to obtain Sonny Gray P. We also package some veterans in a deal for Trevor Cahill and Wil Myers.

Gray, Wood and Cahill will be our top three starters and immediately start piling up innings and wins.  Not enough time to detail these deals.

That would be horrifying.

Bundy needs to improve his change up and could use a 2 seem FB imo. Gausman needs a cut fb to get people off his straight fb that, evidently, looks like a bp fb. Akin needs to keep developing. Harvey needs to get healthy. 

You obviously can't fix what we've got with arms that we are left with. I'd give Philly a call & see what they want for Velasquez, they appear more frustrated with him than we are with Gaus. 

We should be able to get a starter back for our RPs, hopefully we can deal Givens while he's pitching like he is now.

A new pitching coach clearly couldn't hurt. We look ridiculous. 

Have Tanner Scott throw 50 change ups a game.

Sign Cobb/Estrada

Pray to the baseball gods. 

Eat crabs, drink beer, listen to good tunes, be happy.

But isn't he just the pitching coach? Wouldn't he be under contract? You would need to offer him a promotion, correct?

You could pay him and give him a fancier title-director of pitching operations

    • A lot of people didn’t like this signing.  It was a few bad outings last year but otherwise, he was very good. He will have some bumps in the road but he’s a very capable guy still.
    • I agree. It has to be anticipating Mountcastle being out a little longer, maybe they will IL him too if his knee doesn’t improve quickly. But if Hays is out the minimum 10 days (one of which already passed), maybe Kjerstad gets 3 starts from Mountcastle and 1-2 from rest days for others, available to pinch hit the rest. That wouldn’t be so bad. 
    • I trust the O’s and Elias’ handling of him.  Similar to Decosta and the Ravens, they seem to make more good decisions than other clubs do.     I think he can work it out at the major league level if they do.  Wouldn’t be worried if he got sent down to regain some confidence.
    • I don’t see Wells coming back to the rotation. That was never the plan to begin with. Also, I’m not sure it’s a given that Means can make effective starts at the Bug League level right now. He’s been legit terrible against AAA hitters on a pretty consistent basis so far this season. Now Bradish on the other hand, if he can return, he will probably bump one of Suarez or Irvin to the pen (the one who is pitching the worse).  If Suarez keeps performing (I don’t think his current level is realistic to expect) but at a good level for a back end starter, he stays.
    • Remove Bradish and I will maybe agree. To me this guy is destined for the pen, where hopefully his swing and miss stuff plays up even more. Could be an important piece, but I’m not getting my hopes up too far after two appearances.
    • Good comp. I see a lot of Daniel Cabrera from Suarez. A bigger guy with a real heavy fastball with heat and movement.    Cabrera ending up not living up to his potential, but for a minute it was fun dream of a 1-2 with him and bedard as lethal TOR starters. 
    • To each their own. Carry on…
