I wouldn’t even call 2018 a “bad season” for Trumbo.    

Career: .249/.302/.459

 2018: .252/.312/.430

Power is down very slightly, but one short hot streak could remedy that.   Overall, he’s doing about as much as I’d expected going into the season.  

Those numbers might be decent for a slick fielding Short Stop but for a DH that is a bad season.

Last year? Did you see the bullpen stats prior to the deadline? How about the injuries? 

Yeah, they had injuries, but the offense rocked.   And any rotation that gets 750 innings from its top 4 starters is doing well.

The average at DH this year is .249/.328/.447.    So, Trumbo’s below that by a little, but not drastically.   I’m not saying he’s having a good season, but last year was quite a bit worse.

mlb network says the Braves, Brewers, Pirates and A's want a starting pitcher added today. The first 3 are pursuing Archer.  Whoever doesn't get him are looking at Matt Harvey.  They just said the Braves are pursuing him. Let's say the Braves get Harvey, the Brewers get Archer and the Pirates and A"s are left looking for a starter. Will one of them get Gausman? Who will go first? Harvey, Archer or Gausman? I think Gausman will go last closer to 4 PM.

I would like to see Gausman traded for the right return, but I do not think he is getting traded today. I also think that Gausman is the most valuable of those three. Archer is not very impressive to me, and two years older that Gausman. Gotta get a nice haul for Gausman though, and I doubt if that happens today.

The biggest selling point on Archer is that he's signed at a very reasonable rate through 2021.   VERY reasonable.

 $7.66 mm

$9 mm option ($1.75 mm buyout)

$11 mm option ($250 k buyout)

Cheap, and tons of flexibility there if something goes wrong health-wise.

I think it's Kieboom and crumbs.  Adding two more players in their top 10 seems like too much.  I mean, for them, I'd take that deal in a heartbeat.

Well, the reason why I say that is in comparison to the Machado trade.  The Orioles got Diaz + more than crumbs; I consider Diaz comparable to Kieboom.  Machado's the better player, but only a rental.  We've been saying on the board we should get more for 2+ years of Gausman.

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

      I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.

      At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.

      I don't see the O's trading Mullins without getting a replacement for him from somewhere.  It's doubtful we have anyone in the minors yet ready to step in for him.  Maybe the same for Urias since he's the perfect backup infielder.  I think Mateo and Mountcastle are more likely to be traded.

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      You mean like how the Os dealt guys like Hays, Stowers and Norby?  Yea, guys who are good depth but guys we can stand to trade are guys I want to trade….and obviously Elias feels similarly. These guys carry value. The level of value depends on the player and you can debate the value of return but yes, you absolutely should trade out of depth and trade guys that perhaps that don’t match your team philosophies.  That’s what teams do.

      Who knows.  Lots of possibilities. There could be another trade like the Hays trade.  Or maybe you can get a ML ready arm that profiles as a high end reliever. I don’t think that you will get a proven lock down guy but that doesn’t mean you can’t get someone that will end up a big contributor.
