...we could draft, develop and keep healthy just one guy who became a TOR starter for us?

As we cast about for pitchers to fill out our rotation, I just wish we were better at growing our own.   

There’s still time for either Gausman or Bundy to grow into a TOR role, but I’m not sure that either will.    Praying they prove me wrong, and/or that Harvey lives up to what we thought he was going to be back in 2014.

I just wish we could evaluate our internal talent and not allow them to be easily plucked by organizations that know our talent better than we do:

If we had on our roster:

Zach Davies, Josh Hader, Parker Bridwell, and Ariel Miranda we'd be pretty optimistic about the future.

We gave up a lot of talent for zero return

couple that with the insane lifetime achievement award contracts given to Hardy, Davis, O'day, and Trumbo and DD killed the franchise for at least the next 3-5 years

Self inflicted damage has killed this franchise

Yes, been a long time since they drafted and had Mussina as their TOR, too damn long.

Parker Bridwell and Ariel Miranda are fringe guys, I place no blame there.  Hader was moved in a trade that made sense at the time.  Davies was a mistake at the time, really bad trade.

I also hate the Orioles habit of paying players for what they've already done rather than future production.

I also do agree that the Orioles need to do a better job of understanding their own talent.  You can argue the importance of this type of thing, but the Orioles lost Brallan Perez in the minor league portion of the rule 5 draft for no reason.  And then to add insult to injury Roch says in his blog they were hoping not to lose Jay Gonzalez who has the ceiling of an Org guy.  I might be too high on Brallan Perez, but I absolutely guarantee he has a better chance of being a MLB asset than Jay Gonzalez.

None of those was drafted as TOR potential arms.

Tough to hear this complaint now about five plus years with this GM.  

   - Tough to draft and develop when we have forfeited first round picks for the likes of JImenez and Gallardo and dealt multiple high draft picks to shed relievers.

   - Trader Dan is constantly attempting to bolster the major league roster by dealing from our minor league system and getting fleeced multiple times.

It is a nightmare to look at the pitchers DD has acquired and given up.  And the guys acquired have been poor producers almost on Day 1, and the guys given up have been producers for their new organizations within months (JakeA, Bridwell).

6 years of DD helm.

2016 89-73

2015 81-81

2014 96-66

2013 85-77

2012 93-69

Going into 2017, they were the winiest team in the AL, if I remember correctly.

Yes, 2017 sucked, but I am not ready to drink the kool-aid.

Was you not around in the dark ages?

I will never agree that trading Hoes, Hader and a first round pick for Norris made sense.  It was a clear overpay without the benefit of foresight.

I have been here for over 15 years - maybe 16,  If you think we have been winning because DD is our GM, there is no reason to have a discussion.

Who was the first round pick turn out to be?

Hoes has a -.4 WAR with Houston

Hader did a 1.9 WAR with the Brewers

Bud was 1.9 and then -1.5 and -.3 with the team. He was very solid in 2014, and helped them win the division.

So far not a huge overpay, but could be depending on the pick and Hader.

Hoes never really flip the meter for me one way or another.

Fair enough.

My point is they acquired a cheap average starter at the deadline with 2.5 years of control.  They gave up a 45 FV prospect at the time in Hoes, a 40 FV prospect at the time in Hader (maybe some had a 45 on him), and the pick.  The pick is the most valuable of those assets (at the time).  Compared to other deadline deals, I think it wasn't a good trade or a bad trade, just the normal high cost of doing business at the deadline.

      No one is trading anything close to that for Crochet. But I agree..spend money, not prospects.

      Trade Target - Jose Quintana

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      That's some high standards.  Sinker ball types are always going to have higher FIPs and lower K rates.  The truth is, Quintana is probably out of our price range.  That price range is probably no more than the standard Lyles/Gibson/Kimbrel/Frazier price range until otherwise seen.   Back to Quintana, I think he's the type of guy that if healthy could be a real weapon for us with our home ballpark and a home playoff game if we ever get deep into a series.

      Austin Hays Appreciation Thread

      That's really the role/opening for next year that we need.  A RHH OF that could play some CF preferably.  Although, I'd lean more to and offensive minded portion of that versus the ability to play CF.  LF is big though at home. I think it's a role that Elias fills through trade, waivers, or maybe even a competition of milb deal types.  Like a RH Sam Hilliard type.

      Yeah, he would be good in the Austin Slater role if he was willing to accept it. Not sure that he would be quite as good defensively in CF, given that he has played fewer than 100 innings total in CF since 2021. I highly doubt that he is ready to accept a role as a platoon player though, given that he is not yet 30, and he was an above average starter by rWAR from 2021-23. I doubt he is tendered a contract, given his $6M 2024 salary. His best bet is probably to sign a one year deal with a team that doesn't hope to compete, to attempt to reestablish himself as an everyday player, while the team that signs him can hope to flip him at the trade deadline.

      I agree. He’d be a great regular season fit in Cinncy’s ballpark. Maybe that confidence of knowing he can hit the ball out to LF at home covers up his other decencies.  As for Crochet… can’t we just resign Burnes?  Crochet would probably cost Holliday, Basallo, and Mayo. Didn’t the deadline teach us the cost of pitching? I’m for trading Mountcastle. I’d hope we can surround the young hitters with a Burnes led staff with adding a vet bat to the DH/1B mix. Other than that, I think we will roll with what we have. And we should.

      Hays will want to start somewhere. He shouldn't start for us. We don't want him sitting on the bench looking dejected while Kjerstad and Cowser are mashing bombs onto Eutaw Street.
