Comp a scout gave to Roch today was David Hess.    That’s not too inspiring.  

I'd be surprised based on what I've read on him.

I've seen people project him as a #3/#4 down the line if his stuff continues to improve as it has this year. Maybe last year Hess would've been a comp, but his stuff has ticked up and he didn't start pitching til junior college. Still has room to grow at 22.

I've never seen him pitch, so I'm not giving any sort of true educated analysis- but Hess has never put up the strikeout numbers that Kremer has at all levels. Maybe from a "stuff" standpoint, but the numbers would say otherwise

I agree with your thoughts. I have not watched him yet.

He at least has better feel for pitching than Hess and his FB seems to play much better on the plate than Hess. The frame is better and the delivery is better IMO.

Good.    I don’t mind Hess but was hoping Kremer was a rung or two above that.

I did not read through all 20 pages of responses here, but I have 1 major question with the trade;

How certain are the Orioles of Diaz's age?

At 21, the deal looks decent with a couple of OBP prospects with power.  However, if Diaz were really 23, he'd be a hell of a lot less of a prospect.

Does anyone know if the media has questioned the Orioles on this topic?

Is there a reason that you think he is older?

Not in his case specifically, but it's a due diligence item for prospects born outside the US.

If you saw Brooks play, then you know about all the BS with ages from the Dominican Republic that messed up expectations for a generation of position players.

My original post was a legitimate question, not an accusation.

Since 2001, visas have been much tougher to obtain with poor birth documentation  or identity proof. Most of those guys shook out by now. Now granted. They never did catch Sano. And Miguel Tejada was his own brother. But. I think the age faking is harder now. Especially if they are in the US playing. Dominican Summer League guys? No idea. 16 years don't play here.

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
