But other than Machado, we really don't really have a lot of tradeable guys. We have some really good young players, but we don't want to trade them. I think that guys like Bundy, Mancini, Gausman, and Schoop are all part of the solution, not the problem.

..then we need to try to lock up Schoop and Gausman at least. If we can't? Trade them. Have we learned nothing from this Machado situation? Try to sign them. If we can't, trade them and figure all this out now and not at the last minute.

I somehow missed this the first time around.  First of all, huge thanks to OFFNY for the transcript.

Tony, that's the first I've read of Mullins' speed not being there since his injury last year.  Is that something you've seen in person, or are those reports from the organization/scouts?

TUESDAY, MAY 8th

********************

 

SCOTT GARCEAU:)l Regular-A Delmarva has 3 or 4 starters that have all been pitching great, haven't they ???

TONY PENTE:)l Yes, and they are all are prospect arms. Michael Baumann, Cameron Bishop, Zack Lowther ........ they are all top-20 prospects, and pitching incredibly well. They all have ERA's that are under 2.00. Even Matthias Dietz is throwing the ball pretty well. And Gary Fenter, who had previously undergone Tommy John surgery, is throwing well. ]I think that you will see these guys get up to Advanced-A Frederick pretty soon, and if they continue to pitch well at that level they might even get to AA-Bowie in the latter portion of the season.

TEN DAYS LATER (May 18th)

He's not slow, I have him at 4.1 from the right side. 4.0 from the left home to first on a couple of very competitive plays.

It's not McKenna's 3.9 from the right, but it's grade 70 home to first.

I'd guess he's not quite a 70 runner underway, but I'd be comfortable giving him a 60 run grade.

So, good speed, but not elite is what you're saying.  I was always under the impression that he was a serious burner.  Wonder if the injuries have sapped some of that at Tony suggested in this talk.

Mullins is faster than anyone on the Orioles MLB team in H to 1st, although Gentry might be faster once he’s up to speed. So very good speed, above average for a CF. Just not McKenna fast, who would be one of the 5-10 fastest guys in the majors at least from H to 1st, he has truly elite speed.

I thought Mullins looked plenty fast when I saw him in spring training, both in the field and on the bases.    By the way, he’s red hot at the moment and should move to Norfolk soon IMO.

And aside from the promotions of all of those starting pitchers, the Regular-A Shorebirds had 3 position players named to the 2018 All-Star team today ........ outfielder Zach Jarrett, 1st Baseman Seamus Curran, and 3d baseman Trevor Craport. 

 

And according to Josh Michael, a 4th Shorebird was snubbed (Pitcher Brenan Hanifee.)

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By Warehouse · Posted

      He was allowed to face LHP.  My post wasn’t disagreeing with your post.  I was saying that not only did we let him face LHP, we let him do so despite not having much success against LHP.  I was pushing back against the narrative that we needlessly platooned Cowser.  Not only did we not platoon him, there is a reasonable argument that we should have platooned more than we did. We needed to play one of Mullins and Cowser in CF. Cowser mostly got the call vs. LHP because he was much better against LHP in the first half of the year, but this flipped in the second half.

      rWAR Year of birth leaders after 2024 - notable Orioles

      By Just Regular · Posted

      From Adley to Basallo, I think Elias has eight Bats I hope we get to see all take 600 PA simultaneously some season. Adley was born in 1998, and until he arrived Elias Orioles baseball was bad by design.    For flavor, leaders of those teams like 1994-1997 births Mullins, Santander, Hays and Mountcastle are all between 10th and 20th among bats born their year.   Your team might be drafting Jackson Holliday if they are your club's best players in a rebuild, unless you have great pitching, which...haha, we know Elias' game. MLB Baseball is mostly played by guys 24-32.    286 batters cleared 300 PA in 2024 - about 12% were 33 and up by Fangraphs seasonal age assignments, about 8% were 23 and down. This is just a once a year post, but looking at Bats born from Adley's 1998 to Basallo's 2004, here's how the Orioles achievements compare with MLB's best by rWAR. 1998 - Adley is 4th 1999 - Westburg is 9th, and Kjerstad is 33rd 2000 - Cowser is 16th 2001 - Gunnar is 1st, and Mayo is nearly last, having dug a deep hole in his initial PA.    Trivia - Darell Hernaiz one of the 3 beneath Mayo.    Noelvi Marte dead last also has a PED suspension, d'oh. 2003 - Holliday is 4th - Minnesota the last weekend he got himself out of negative WAR territory. 2004 - Basallo is n/a as Chourio alone has played MLB from that birth year.    Basallo did log the most high minors experience of the 2004 births during the 2024 season. In 2025, Gunnar enters the 24-32 range as Judge departs it.     Cowser's improvement after an off-season a story of comfort for Holliday and Mayo - can they approach his ~3.5 win contribution? Strong, young teams - doing this exercise highlighted Adley's Orioles a little younger than the Braves and all their famous contract extensions.    Acuna, Albies and Riley were all born the year before Adley.   On the AL side of the competition, Yordan and Kyle Tucker also 1997 holding up a strong competitor, though not one that is young anymore.     Judge and Gerrit hoping Soto please stays.    Soto from 1998 - you have to reach back to 1994 for Correa, Bregman and C. Seager to find anyone ahead of him.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By Camden_yardbird · Posted

      The Orioles have a lot of flexibility both in terms of prospects, money and potential veterans that hold value. Vets - I could see the Orioles moving on from any of Mountcastle, Mullins, Urias, or O'Hearn. These players may hold the most potential to bullpen upgrades. Money - The Orioles will certainly spend this offseason and that more flexibility than they have had.  I would like to see 1 or 2 extensions, 1 high profile FA, and maybe 1 more solid addition. Prospects - I could see any of the big 4 going somewhere.  I really think the Orioles and Pirates match up really well.  The Pirates have a plethora of young pitchers and the Orioles have young hitters.  I wouldn't be surprised to see the two match up.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      The hitting philosophy works. That’s why they have been winning the last two years.     Plenty of runs scoring off HR’s in the playoffs.

      They would probably want two of Mayo, Basallo, Holliday, and Kjerstad, plus other pieces (likely at least one good pitching prospect, so someone like Povich or McDermott), for both Crochet and Robert.
