Mike Wright  went 9-1 with a 2.22  ERA as a starter in AAA in 2015.  It has never help him in the majors.  

Their is a big difference between a 12.1% K-BB% from an ok prospect in his age 25 season and a 29.7% K-BB% from a top 25 prospect in his age 23 season.

You can save this and say "I told you so" but I'll say it, Glasnow will have the better career (barring injury) than Keller.

So ends my Glasnow talk for the day.

When?   Will he pitch better in the majors in 2018? I am sure the Pirates would like to know the answer before they trade someone to make room for him.

I expect him to spend the majority of 2018 in the majors and pitch well, again I doubt the Pirates will be trying to compete in 2018.

That is what you expect but what do the Pirates expect?  They get Marte back for the whole year.

If they keep McCutchen then they are going for it.  If they trade him they are not.IMO.

Its nice that you are really high on Glasnow but until he does pitch well in the majors he is still an unproven player at that level.     I kind of doubt the Pirates trade starting pitching to make room for him this off season.  Maybe for other reasons but not to make room for Glasnow or Brault.

Duffy for Mountcastle or Hayes, with Scott & Mullins. Count me in! But I don't think the Royals would make that trade unless they were wholly focused on dumping Duffy's salary. Even then, there are a lot of other teams that could use Duffy.

I certainly don't know this to be the case, but it is possible that the Royals may be motivated to cut ties with him over his DUI charge. Or maybe because of his bad dietary choices.

I doubt the O's will trade Hayes.  It just opens another hole and makes the team more expensive.

I would certainly trade them Elvin or Bob.  But I am keeping Austin Hays.

Trade Hall of Famer Bob Hayes or Hall of Famer Elvin Hayes, but you wouldn't trade an unproven prospect? I guess you are being sarcastic. If Austin remains an Oriole and has half the career of either of those two, he'll be a Baltimore legend and an Orioles' Hall of Famer.

Ummm   I was just trying to humorously highlight  the spelling difference between individuals named HAYES and the Orioles player who you both incorrectly gave that same surname to in your post who is actually spelled HAYS, not HAYES....lol.

DJ Stewart for Jharel Cotton of Oakland?  Cotton was pretty bad last year, though he's still very young (25) and has some really good stuff.  Stewart could take over RF and allow them to play Matt Olsen exclusively at first, where he is a much better fit. 

If Cotton figures it out, he could be a very solid pitcher.

I'm higher on Stewart than most but I don't think he can handle right field in Oakland.

From a range perspective I think he'd be fine, I don't think he has the arm for it though (apologies if that's what you meant).

Wouldn't trading Mountcastle depend on what they do with Machado. If they resign him Mountcastle becomes expendable but if not isn't he the only in house option?

Mountcastle is maybe 20-30% chance of sticking at 3B.  You've also got Jomar Reyes, probably similar chance to stay at 3B (much much more arm but bigger and less mobile).   Then there is Drew Dosch, who could possibly keep the spot warm during a rebuild.

      He'll go back to pulling pitches and hit 30 HRs there.

      I tend to agree with this.  We certainly aren't the best farm system any more and it's time to use Uncle Dave's money some.  I'm in favor of buying the pitching we need.  There are some good FA arms out there.  If there's a bat on another team they want to trade for that's different since the FA position player list isn't good.

      This what I think happens too.  We'll trade from the FV 40ish tier not the 45 or higher tier.  And I can see dealing from the top ofthe deck (i.e. Mounty, Urias, Kremer*...) to build the ceiling of the pipeljne or weaker/thinner positions.  *A Kremer based deal would be predicated on an FA SP signing.  I don't see it happening but it's an interesting case study.

      Trade Target - Jose Quintana

      Maybe he should be a free agent target this offseason.

      Austin Hays Appreciation Thread

      Hays hit .354 / .404 / .537 against LH pitching this season. I would absolutely take him back as a platoon player who can fill in all three OF positions. Given the number of southpaws other teams throw against us we'd be nuts not to consider signing him if he gets DFA'd.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By Warehouse · Posted

      I went and checked how we compared to other playoff teams in platooning and pinch-hitting during the playoffs.  I used the first two wildcard games as the sample to keep it apples to apples with the Orioles’ experience.  For the 8 wildcard teams, I counted the number of line-up changes from game 1 to game 2 and the number of pinch hit PAs and added them together.  For lineup changes, I didn’t consider batting order or positions, only the number of hitters that started game 1 but didn’t start game 2 (only McCann for the Orioles). The Orioles were middle of the pack - 4th highest moves among the 8 wildcard teams. #       Team                Lineup changes Pinch hits PAs Total        T1 Tigers 3 5 8            T1 Astros 1 7 8 3 Mets 1 6 7 4 Orioles 1 5 6 5 Royals 1 4 5 6 Braves 1 2 3 7 Brewers 1 1 2 8 Padres 0 0 0 For some additional context, only the Orioles and Tigers faced different-handed starters the first two games AND had opposing pitcher handedness change at least 5 times in those games. Teams that faced same-hand starter both days: Royals Astros Mets Braves   Number times opposing pitcher handedness changed in game: Astros - 8 Royals - 8 Orioles - 5 Tigers - 5 Mets - 4 Padres - 3 Braves - 2 Brewers - 1

      If Hays is non tendered he will be looking for the team that will play him full time.     And he might find it.   He in not even 30 yet.   But the O's don't have that to offer him.
