As I pointed out earlier, Garcia might still have hard feelings against the organization due to the Ritterpusch test.

If someone wouldn't give you an entry level job (after drafting you!) and told you it was because their test shows you don't have the mental makeup they want... you think maybe you might have hard feelings for a long time?

 Cashner might not be an ace but he’s far from Miley and Ubaldo. We just need Cashner to give us 175IP at a sub 4.50 era and it will be worth it. 

I’d say the odds he does that are less than 50%.     But the Four Amigos (Miley, Jimenez, Tillman, Hendrickson) averaged 6.61.     Even 5.00-ish would be a big improvement.

If Cashner pitches to last year's FIP (4.61) for the next 2 years and stays healthy, he's worth the money.  There's also the possibility that he's better than his peripheral stats indicate.  It's not like he lost a lot of velocity on his fastball last year.  I'd rather have Arietta or Cobb but I'm ok with Cashner being part of the five man rotation.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 15, 2018
ORIOLES SIGN RHP ANDREW CASHNER TO TWO-YEAR CONTRACT
The Orioles today announced that they have signed RHP ANDREW CASHNER to a two-year contract. To make room on the 40-man roster, LHP ZACH BRITTON has been placed on the 60-day disabled list (right Achilles surgery).
Cashner, 31, pitched to an 11-11 record with a 3.40 ERA (63 ER/166.2 IP) in 28 starts with Texas in 2017. His 11 wins set a career-high. He led Rangers starters in ERA (finished ninth in the American League), was second in starts and innings pitched, and tied for second in wins. Over an eight-year Major League career, Cashner has gone 42-64 with a 3.80 ERA (377 ER/893.0 IP) and 694 strikeouts in 137 starts (230 games). He has posted a 2.64 ERA (115 ER/392.2 IP) in 63 home starts (66 games) since the beginning of 2013, the fifth-best ERA among Major League starters in that span (min. 350.0 IP). In 11 career starts against the AL East, he has gone 5-3 with a 2.63 ERA (21 ER/72.0 IP).
Originally drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the first round (No. 18 overall) of the 2008 First-Year Player Draft, Cashner played two seasons with the Cubs (2010-11) and also has spent time with the San Diego Padres (2012-16), Miami Marlins (2016), and Texas Rangers (2017).

Just seems a little odd to me that Dan Duquette wasn’t quoted at all in any story I saw about Cashner tonight. Who knows. You would think the GM would have something to say. 

It wasn't Dan who went to Seattle to watch Tim Lincecum pitch, was it?

"Said Cashner: “I don’t think it’s been difficult. It’s been interesting, it’s been different. I met with Brady back in November and we’ve had dialogue ever since. He’s reached out to me and I’ve reached out to him and I think the communication’s been great throughout the whole process.” "

Yeah, seems this was totally a Brady move.

I have no problem with Brady being our GM. He has Oriole blood in his vains and I know he will do his very best. He won't covet other jobs like Dan did. It is time for Dan to move on.

Being a GM requires alot of business/management type skills that i have no clue if Brady has. Duquette is probably a much better GM.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I agree with the part about Elias. He needs to operate with a little more humility (regarding his bullpen approach) and pivot in the offense regarding how he puts a pen together. He needs to get away from the arrogant thinking in believing that we are always "the smartest guys in the room" and can fix other teams junk/unwanted parts. That is fine to do some time (regardless of how much you spend). But you can't construct an entire pen made of castoffs and almost no guys with elite/power/strikeout stuff. Yes it worked great with Felix, Perez/Lopez in 22', Cano in 23'. But the problem is that we are in '24. And some of those lightening in the bottle guys have reverted back to what their talent says that they are - mediocre. We have a pen full of decent/league average/mediocre arms. That's not what you really want heading into October.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      Also, since there’s another interesting discussion going on here, I think it’s time for Hyde to have an uncomfortable conversation with Adley. I hate everything I’m about to say, because Adley is my favorite Oriole. But we have to acknowledge where we are.  Over the last few months, the only sensible approach with Adley — other than the IL, which apparently he hasn’t been eligible for — has been to keep penciling him into the lineup almost everyday and hoping he figures it out. He has a track record of consistent lifelong excellence, so it’s felt like just a matter of time before he busts the slump and rights the ship.  But he hasn’t. Adley’s line over the last 3 months, almost half a season now, is so bad that it requires a double check to be sure it’s right: .186 / .274 / .278 / .552. A 61 wRC+. And -0.2 fWAR. He has been a below replacement player for 3 months now. He has been the 3rd-worst qualified hitter in baseball over that span, and the 7th-worst overall qualified player. The “qualified” part does make it a little misleading — most of the guys who’ve been this bad have long since been benched. I think you have to consider McCann, at least in Burnes’s starts. He’s been hitting a bit (114 wRC+ since the ASB), and even if he wasn’t on a bit of a heater, his normal baseline is still better than a .552 OPS. If you do continue to play him full-time, you just can’t treat him like he’s *Adley* anymore. You have to treat him like the bad backup catcher he’s been. He has to hit at the bottom of the order. The very bottom. There’s really no reasoned basis upon which you could want to have him get more ABs than guys like Mullins or Urias right now. And you have to PH for him liberally — whichever of Kjerstad/O’Hearn doesn’t start should be looking at Adley’s slot as their most likely opportunity.  As I said, I love Adley. It’s been brutal watching him. But there are 25 other guys on the team who deserve the best shot to win a ring. And that means you can’t just keep stubbornly handing all the ABs to a guy who is desperately lost, on the blind hope that he’ll suddenly find it.

      I didn’t post it in the game thread no, but I’m also not looking for credit. I thought it was a bad move at the time to remove Burnes in the first place, and choosing Cano at that point after he’d been bombed by those exact hitters, felt odd and off to me. The only real defense I could come up with was who if not Cano?  But taking Burnes out is essentially admitting that winning that night wasnt your top priority anyway, so why not also rest Cano, who you absolutely need in the playoffs and has pitched a lot?  I just didn’t get it in real time, and I still don’t.

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.
