Are you watching this AJ? Do you really want to play out the season in Baltimore?

You have just as much of chance signing with the O's regardless of where you play the last 2 months.

What a mistake you are making

Give it up - DD's already moved on

Yeah, he’s been decent for about 2 months, though his ERA doesn’t jibe with his WHIP over that period.   To me he’s still a middle reliever.

Wright has been pretty good since about mid-May (1.75 ERA over 36 IP since May 13th), but he still gives up too many runners and batters have hit .288 off him with a .355 OBP over this good span. 

I'm ok with Wright as a long guy, but I don't think he has the makeup or out pitch to be a late inning guy.

Great minds think alike....and so do ours!

Givens is a good candidate for a rebound as is Brach in Atlanta

Brach's peripherals were actually worse so I can understand the skepticism. 

Givens peripherals remain strong, he has a LOB% due for some positive regression. 

Add to that the three years of control, anyone believing Givens doesn't have much value is not really in tune with modern baseball valuation. 

In short, I agree Givens will rebound.

He doesn't want to go to your Phillies.  Get over it.

    • The issue with Cano is the classic issue with sinkerballers. Hyde let him rest far too long. There's comprehensive data out there showing that sinkerballers really suffer from too much rest.  That said, Cano is a different pitcher this year. He's throwing his 4 seamer far more this year than last (11% vs. 3%) at the expense of his sinker (48% vs. 55%) and slider (11% vs. 14%).  Another thing, his control and command is off this year. That sinker just isn't living low enough. Same goes for his changeup.  He's nearly tripled his walk rate. Cano is really good when he isn't putting runners on base for free because those groundballs that he gets from his sinker aren't likely to do damage. Now they're doing damage. 
    • I like him very much and I’m very glad we have him. I just keep spelling it wrong. Thanks for the note. I really do like him, I just have few illusions about his Cy Young chances.
    • Nice post-I would also add it's not really "conspiracy theory" stuff to entertain the thought that his plans all changed or were altered when it became apparent the Angelos family had to sell the team.   He built the wall in his own words to "attract FA pitching" and then the "take-off" quip.  Everything changed when decision to sell the team was made.  I truly believe that Elias's ST/LT plans were colored by the Angelos situation, we will a better idea of his complete plans with supportive ownership.
    • If you believe that the playoffs/World Series is a crap shot, then you should be fine with the roster as is. I don't believe that. I believe that the better your high performing talent does in the post season against the other team's best talent, the better your odds of succeeding are. I don't believe for a second that Irvin is going to magically turn into a pitcher that I would have ANY confidence winning a postseason game on the road in NY or Philly. I don't have confidence that Craig Kimbrel will go into one of those environments against those caliber of lineups/opponents and save 2/3/4 games in a 7 game series. I don't believe it's a good bet to bet on him or Cano succeeding against Soto/Judge or Turner/Harper/Realmuto/Bohm or Ohtani/Betts/Freeman with the season on the line. I just don't. But I respect your opinion if you believe the opposite.
    • Can we trade Urias/Mateo to get any decent RP help?  I am not sure but Mayo up means one of them needs to go.  Now both will need to go when Holliday comes up which i think should be in late summer.  what do i know?
    • Agreed.  ME's MO is more akin to dollar cost averaging than pushing all of his chips in on a few investments.  A lot TBD.
